Scammer Gets Gold Coins Made of Chocolate!

Told her Social Security funds were being used to support terrorism, a widow was directed to buy $700,000 in gold — but an alert store owner intervened before crooks could make off with her money, records show!

I hope it was bad chocolate.

 

Throw the scammers in jail and lose the keys.

 

saw this yesterday. Glad they got the guy.

 

Smart, upright coin store owner saved the lady's fortune. Working back to try and get the ringleaders in India probably will go nowhere. However, the guy that was arrested probably has accomplices in the U.S.

Still surprised how many elderly still fall for these scams. Every issue of AARP magazine has stories and warnings about these scams. But not all elderly belong to AARP or read the magazine. And many grew up in an era where international scammers weren't a thing.

Would really like to see a law forcing phone companies to not allow caller ID spoofing. It can be done, but there would be some upfront expense.

I love a story with a happy ending. Looks like he'll do well in prison.

 

Had to play that while my wife and I were finishing lunch. Made both of our days.

 

Hopefully they'll get that guy to sing like a canary and expose the whole nest of thieves.

 

LOL. Maybe in prison he will.
