Man loses £130,000 in online scam

Proof of the saying. "A fool and his money are easily parted".

The world is a bit of a grim place where I sit. But the fact that I am not wearing this guy's shoes makes it a bit more bearable. Cheers fool :y

I am always getting emails from Nigeria and other such places telling me I have come into money, one way or another. >:( All I have to do is supply all my bank etc details or even send some money to pay for a courier, how people can fall for these beats me, but they do.... ::) ::) ::)

The bit that got me was that having been scammed by a 'poorly old woman whose mother had just died' he then fell for some guy claiming to be from the FBI and wanting money to pay for the travel to sort it out!!!!!!!!
