The special investigator said he told her, the FBI told her, her husband told her, etc. that it was a scam and that she just kept on going with it. No sympathy for someone like that. She drained her mute husband's retirement fund as well. Just no, I can't feel bad for that.

I once worked for a company that tracked these scammers down. We constantly came across retired people that lost their life savings. The most common was people being told they won the Canadian lottery and the people need to send money to get their money into the states. They started small and eventually milked them dry. I guess it's playing on peoples greed by taking advantage of trusting and naive senior citizens. Unfortunitely the people behind it got away almost every time. But it is hard to be insensitive when you see a 80 year old woman having to work as a door person at walmart when everything they worked for all their life has been stolen and it is too easy to just say it's their own fault when there are thiefs somewhere that should be held accountable for leaching off them. This could have been your grand parents or your parents or even some day you.

Imagine her husband was the Cleveland Bus Driver that uppercutted that woman on the bus:
He would've got up from the couch saying: "Aww you spent my retirement fund now, you spent my retirement fund now!!"
Then...
BANG

Yeah there is so much about those Nigerian scams. Dumb people are still out there and fall for it.
I would explain more to you people about the warning signs, but Microsoft is on the phone right now and they are going to fix my computer for a small fee. I love finding good deals.
