ChocolateReignRemix Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Sadly for us, we just recently received an email from a hit man hired to kill DH. The hit man felt that DH didn't deserve to die, and was willing to call off the hit if we paid $20K to him. I told DH I am sure the funeral service will be lovely.

My DH sells real estate, and he and his partner had someone coming in (repeatedly) trying to buy a house based on the fact that he was soon to receive hundreds of thousands of dollars from a friend he was helping in Nigeria :( He got very upset when DH and his partner sat him down and tried to explain the scam to him. He'd already sent several thousand. It's amazing to me that people but be so gullible, but some are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I know who believes these things= people who are mentally limited in some way either through dementia or just because. I know we laugh but there are so many who are victimized. They really don't understand. I had a hard time understanding this until I realized that some of these people really don't understand much and are used to not understanding. I mean, if I don't think something makes sense, I don't believe it. But if normal, everyday things didn't make sense to you, you might believe them all the same since normally everyone around you does. Then when one of these stupid emails or fake checks comes around, you are as confused as ever but believe anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were walking back from The Prado when one of the guys in our group was robbed. They took his wallet which had everything in it. We went back to our hostel and tried to explain to the owner that we had been robbed. Unfortunately, the way it came out was that we had been out on the streets robbing people. Oops, luckily our Spanish improved before we left Spain. Edited November 6, 2012 by kwiech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
