You here or read about these scams all the time but you wonder how someone falls for them. Yesterday someone calls my mother from the dominican republic and says that they are her grandson and they are in trouble and they need $4000. for a lawyer. The lawyer tells her to not tell anyone and send it western union. They get the money and call the next day and tell her that if she doesn't send another $5000. that they will kill her grandson and she will never see him again. She sends the money the second time and never once says anything about it. If it wasn't for someone at the western union office calling me to stop her she would keep on sending till they cleaned her out. I never thought my mother could be scamed like this I guess you just never know?
 
This type of theft is one of my pet peeves. I am willing to start an international organization that will literally take out these pond scum. Please don't get your shorts all knotted up if you disagree with me. I'm just saying that a few bodies lying around would stop this very quickly. I am sorry for your loss.
 
I have a friend that married a great gal from the dominican, it is really a great place. Unfortunately scammers are everywhere. Her sister works for the president of the country, and he was at my friends wedding. If you had more details, maybe they could have some influence. My parents would never have fallen for that trick, they would have said i wasn't worth that much.
 
I didn't think my mother could ever fall for something like this. She said she lost 1grandson in Iraq and the thought of someone killing my son was more than she could live with.
