It seems you just can't post enough of these stories to get the word out to everyone.

Full story http://www.windsorstar.com/Leamingto...799/story.html

A Leamington man has fallen prey to international scam artists who strung him along for more than a year with the promise of millions in cash, but ultimately bilked him and his family of $150,000.

John Rempel said he quit his truck driving job, lost friends, borrowed money and crossed the globe in pursuit of a non-existent inheritance, after he was contacted by e-mail in what is known as a Nigerian 419 scam.

Rempel said he borrowed $55,000 from an uncle in Mexico and his parents gave him $60,000 on credit to cover fees for transferring $12.8 million into his name.

It's hard to feel bad for the guy. Surely someone told him he was being wound up. Greed is a terrible drug...

Haha, this is most likely Phil.

Poor sod KNEW what he was getting into, but he must have wanted it enough to ruin his life over it.
