22 year-old John Rempel gave Nigerian scammers $150,000 while chasing what he thought was a $12.8 million inheritance. Rempel ended up borrowing money from his parents and uncle, and even traveled all the way to London to meet with the scammers in person.
They met Rempel the next day with a suitcase. They said it had $10.6 million in shrink-wrapped U.S. bills. Rempel wanted more proof. His new friends pulled out one bill and “cleansed” it with a liquid “formula,” which washed off some kind of stamp. Rempel was told that process made the money “legal tender.”
“I was like holy crap, is that mine?” he said. “They said ‘yes sir, it’s yours.’ It all sounded legit.”
Rempel returned to his hotel room clutching the formula and waited for the others so they could cleanse all his money. They never showed, and later told him they got held up. In the meantime, Rempel dropped the formula. The bottle broke. He called his contact who said he’d get more. Rempel returned to Leamington and waited.
A few weeks later Rempel got a call. They found more formula. It would cost $120,000.
“I thought, ‘let’s work on it, nothing is impossible,’” said Rempel.
Don't believe the internet when it says you're a big lottery winner or surprise heir. We're sure you're nice and all, but Nigerian Princes aren't going to email you. Hell, Nigeria's government is modeled after our own; they don't even have princes, something you should remember next time Africa's supposed royalty asks you to wire them money.
As with most advance fee fraud stories, Rempel's tale ends in bankruptcy and woe. "I really thought in my heart this was true," he said.
How you could even fall for this is beyond me. What a dumbass...

lol, anyone ever see that Office episode...when Michael gets this email, and gets all indignant about how its his job to help out the royal family of India, or whatever country the scam was from...probably not. But I find it funny.
And this kid is a jagoff, btw.

You see the first episode back yet from Thursday? Pretty funny...
Honestly can't believe that someone somewhere actually fell for that scam. Figured that was one the whole world knew was just a scam. Guess not...
MSNBC has a special called like, "To catch a scammer."
It was pretty neat, they went to Africa, Belgium and areas like that trying to track down this one guy. They met with and interviewed all the victims. You could tell they were desperate people, with not a whole lot to live for, and the scammers completely just preyed on them.

Meh, I thought it was kinda dumb, tbh. Maybe one of the worst episodes yet. I thought it would be great...Andy going nuts and all. But it was poorly done. But hey, they have to drop a few duds once in ahwile.
