  • lol scamming made alot of jamaicans rich and i have seen it up close too

  • they are just greedy pigs!

    they got what they deserved!

  • honestly, how stupid can you be. You would think he would start to wise up at about the 10th time he sent them money with no results

  • This is crazy.

    Look,tracking this people is very simple.Just help the family locate the origin of the phone calls.Identify the banks that operate western Union in that country.Inform the banks about the scam and tell them to inform their western union agents throughout that Country.Lastly tell the crooks that you have sent them money and give them wrong control number.

    You can plant an undercover officer in all the western union outlets and wait for the crooks to come.

  • Just plain stupidity..... where are their kids to protect their elderly parents

  • It's one thing being old and having blind faith and sending 200 the first time..$27880.21??? Wow.....

  • greed+stupidity+hope=this situation...c`mon people... a little common sense please! after the first $1000 or so couldn`t you figure that out????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • im such a nice person that if i was a rich millionaire or lotto winner i would of contacted them and paid for it. but im just some lone worker in my own life that has nothing.........
