Sobbing Nigerian Scam Victim
Filed under omg. Posted 19 Jan 2009.
If you’re wondering why they never stop sending emails about you inheriting millions of dollars in a bank somewhere on the other side of the world, it’s because people are still falling for it.
John Rempel from Leamington, Ontario thought it was his lucky day when he received an email from a lawyer in UK who was looking for a Rempel to inherit a few million.
He replied the email and by the end of it, he lost US$150,000 to the scammers.
This kind of story never gets old. Consider yourself warned.
