I had posted on here a week ago about a friend of mine that told me of a person that showed up at her house. He was a friend of her husband's from grade school and looked them up. They invited him in an, after a lengthly conversation, he revealed he had inherited 98 million dollars from his deceased father and was just lonely, didn't have anyone to turn to and didn't know what to do with the money. He played them an automated message after dialing a number on his phone that said "Thank you for calling Mybank." He typed in his account number and the recording said his balance was 98 million dollars.
They, of course, were exstatic to be reunited with this old "friend" He paid up their bills and brought their negative balance back to zero and added an extra 2 million into their accounts. ...which of course was pending for the few days that I was on to him but couldn't prove it and started a thread on here for help.. which I found thanks to a smart BYCer who passed me the link to the Maryland criminal directory. I typed in his name and found out he had a rap sheet that included fraud, theft, frivulous (sp?) lawsuits, etc... He did jail time and actually had an active warrant for his arrest. His tales of plane hangar communities in Florida and BMW's and a horse farm were quickly getting debunked... oh yeah... he took said friends equine facility shopping
And, they actually put in an offer on a horse farm... THROUGH A REALTOR! This guy went for it.
This entire time the 2 million is still pending... and he didn't have a debit card so the family was giving him cash and he was sleeping on their sofa because he was too lonely at the Marriott
UPDATE: I told the friend (a girl who boards horses at my house) what I found via the criminal directory. She very calmly said, "that's wierd"
I think they just wanted to believe so bad that they couldn't comprehend that it was true ... or maybe they had an idea but, wanted to see if the check cleared... not realizing this was all a scam to get their pocket change... which totalled $900. He left one day with the final $200 and they never saw him again
They did contact the police and have filed charges.
I know a few of you were really interested in the story and had helped me so much with exposing this rat! and, I thought you'd want to know how it panned out.
The other thread was removed because I leaked the rat's name and then got skeered
when I googled him and BYC popped up first in google!! AHhhh!!! didn't want him showing up at my house PO'd
