Women, gets scammed by one of those "long lost relatives in Nigeria" for $400k... all the while her husband is telling her it is a scam.. she says "I'm no sucker, I know how to spot a scam.." Ended up taking out a second mortgage on her house and everything!!

What a dumb a$$. She got letters from the president! I should send her an e-mail so she can pay off my truck.

I like the last story, those guys weren't messing around.

There should be a stipulation in the law that if your wife does that, you can legally hang her in public.

Why don't you write that law up? I'm sure it would pass with an overwhelming vote YES from every male on the board.. :)

mortgaged the house, liened on the car, wiped out his retirement savings... all the while the husband, the bank and an FBI guy are begging her to stop. now, there's stupid, and there's just plain dumb. "I'm not a sucker, I know how to spot a scam." no, you are dumb. die.

hold the handle down or the house will explode. sheesh.

forklift your way out of poverty. the reporter wonders how they will get the cash out. well, they've got lots of time. probably live out in the sticks with many tools (if they know how to run a heavy duty forklift, then they are most likely in construction or a like trade with plennnnny of tools).

stupid is as stupid does, my momma always said. -- gump

The 2nd one I could be forgiving, it was an elderly lady, she didn't know better. The 3rd story made me laugh, it's a pretty good plan. :D

The first story...seriously, I'd be in jail for murder. If I worked my entire life then retired in hopes of traveling the country only to have those funds taken from me due to that....oh man...

x2 on that one. id be pissed, as a start.

What the video does not tell you is that the scam went on for months and months. It started out with her sending a few hundred, then a few thousand and then hundreds of thousands. This was not a one time stupid move. It was stupid again and again. She really thought she was going to her millions after just one more payment....:rofl:

[2RARE84s]

I think the husband should take out a life insurance policy on her (to the tune of at least $400k...) and take her deep sea fishing...

[lastcall190]

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, three, four, twenty... I'm a damned moron.
