IT would be great to become $1.6 million richer overnight! That’s roughly P80 million in cool cash at an exchange rate of P50 to a dollar.
It was too good to be true when one “US Army nurse” by the name of “Sgt. Michelle Edwards Walker,” allegedly stationed at Yemen, claimed she was about to deliver a diplomatic luggage that supposedly contained my 30-percent share from $19 million something.
The plot would leave you astounded — how in the world can an unexpected once-in-a-lifetime huge windfall happen? Courteous, well-written e-mails, supposed documents are attached in the communications. And yes, my FB “friend” was even ready to answer questions about the “deal.” It was supposedly highly confidential. Just between the two of you, and there could absolutely be no third party involvement.
That easy, pure and simple. The gullible would be waste no time cooperating with the con artist. You cannot just eat your values and morals anyway. Man does not live by bread alone but also by bread and butter, according to the gospel of Peanuts.
But beware. Be careful and critical in every transaction or you would be trapped. Once you’re caught by this bug of conscience trick, it is very hard to entangle yourself out from this criminal web.
It’s all war in there, said “Sgt. Walkers,” providing even make-believe photos of herself in military uniform. Bombings are daily occurrence, prompting her to resign as chief of US Army nurses for good. It’s laced, too, with romance and excitement as she tells you she’d like to to see you face to face and that when she begins her civilian life, she intends to donate 1/6 of her share to fund charity projects in my country. The huge amount is supposedly her share from the spoils of war she and five other military officers allegedly retrieved during their rescue mission at Yemen. Wow!
The con artist’s communication came after my vacation in Romblon, and after I fixed my virus-contaminated PC for the nth time. It was a sick joke to make the gullible shell out 850 Euros as advance fee!
Wow ha! I took the con artist for a ride at first. The poor fella, whoever he or she is, is probably wondering now why I stopped responding.
I pity the gullible. The advance fee is mostly likely just a partial demand and the con artist won’t stop until he or she has licked the victim’s savings clean and dry. The gullible, in other words, are being taken in for a ride.
Those who have been active on the internet and social media are most likely used this. They have similar funny experiences. It really takes prudence and critical thinking to read the hidden motives of these crime syndicates preying on the gullible online.
