Originally posted by kingcook View PostI actually fell for this scam when i was younger.
I was a bit skint (a bit of an under-statement!) at the time so thought why not, what could go wrong?
Within a couple of hours, £3500 appeared in my bank account. Followed by emails and text messages asking me to transfer 90% via Western Union and I could keep the other 10%.
Alarms bells rang
I went straight to my bank and they immediately agreed to split it 50/50. I was still getting text messages from them (Latvians) while sat there with the bank manager asking where the money was :O
The text messages and emails eventually stopped after I told them the bank had spotted fraud on my account.
It's suprising what people will do when they are broke.
