haha, okay here's a funny one that happened to a relative of a friend of mine...

They woke up one day and their grill was stolen. They didn't do anything about it, and the next day someone CAME BACK with their grill, and said, "I'm so sorry, I live down the road and our grill broke and we were having a party for our daughter and some of her friends came and took it" So the person gave them tickets to a local baseball game as 'compensation' for the fact that their daughter's friends temporarily 'stole' their grill.

While they were at the baseball game the people came and ransacked the entire place, stealing prettymuch everything.


Wow son, that is fucking owned GG no re lmfao.

Nigeria must have lax banks or something, so that they can scam pretty much everyone on earth.

Or maybe they just have isp's that allow a lot of spam. Either one.

Yeah, that's it. It's not encouraged but there is nothing there to prevent people getting scammed or help them when they are scammed. I don't think it's about laws but just pure corruption.

That is so evil! This is why you've gotta have trained attack dogs in your house... It's not technically a booby trap, so it's legal right? Just put a "Beware of Dogs" sign up.

Would have to be inheritance or loans for sure. Or dead husband. I dunno. Unfortunately richness isn't restricted to the intelligent. Take Paris Hilton for example.
Oh no

Someone that blinded by greed doesn't deserve 400k anyway, she sounds like the same kind of person who would buy a lottery ticket.

There's no such thing as free money.

What's just as bad was that news segment.

"MOST OUTRAGEOUS." Capital red letters, spinning. Some retarded news anchors.

How the fuck is this news?
It felt like gravity.

The stupid woman got what she deserved. The FBI told her it was a scam and she kept sending them money for a period of 2 years. You cant even call it a scam in my opinion. She knew what she was doing. She willfully gave them money when she knew it was for a fake reason.

She got the money from her house. She took out loans on her already paid for house. Anyone who owns a house for a long enough period of time has that kind of money.
