It's sad we have people in this country who are so gullible...
Quote:
A Canadian man who fell for a 419 scam was taken for $150,000 by advance fee fraudsters who conducted a textbook operation to fleece their victim.
John Rempel of Leamington, Ontario, got an email back in 2007 from "someone claiming to be a lawyer with a client named David Rempel who died in a 2005 bomb attack in London", the Windsor Star reports.
The email claimed the "deceased" had left $12.8m, and since he had no family "wanted to leave the money to a Rempel".
