I have a buddy who is a idiot...

He has given con men from Guyana between $70,000 and $80,000 in the last 6-8 months.

He's about 100 lbs over weight (looks like a egg), Type 1 diabetic who thinks he can eat a pound of chocolate covered almonds and just do more insulin to correct his blood sugar levels. He also smokes pot everyday. I've seen him smoke 3 joints back to back in a 15-20 minute period.

I've know this guy for 37 years. Others in our group 45 years. We all have told him he was being ripped off and he won't believe us.

It started out he was looking at porn on the net and found a $2.99 a minute web site where you watch the girl. It progressed to her telling him she would move here and marry him. She was supposed to arrive Christmas Day with her inheritance (in gold).

I don't know all the stories because when you question him he gets defensive and angry.

His Credit Union caught his first screwing by these people and canceled his internet banking access. He gave them his bank account number and they deposited $2,500. They tried to take money out of his account 3 days later. The $2,500 was fake.

Like he had to send her $300 because she needed to go to the hospital to have tampons inserted. He told me this and I said that while I wasn't a expert on that part of the female anatomy I was pretty sure that the part of the body a babies head comes out of has no need of help putting a tampon in there. { . }

He told her we were all calling her a con man and she told him that we were just jealous. She then gave him the name and email address of a policeman he could contact to see if she was a noble and trustworthy person. He failed to see the stupidity of that and actually contacted "The Policeman"

Then "she" started to con him with her gold. She was having problems with her inheritance and getting it out of the country. My telling him that gold was the most easiest commodity to exchange on the planet and every city in the world has someone who will buy it from you. Somehow they sent him a wafer of gold worth about $95 and the guy who bought it from him here warned him about fake gold scams.

Christmas day when she was supposed to be here (he sent her money for the plane ticket and warm clothes). She emailed him saying she had landed in Cuba and their Customs wanted $16,000 is duty for all the gold she had with her. Next day she had landed in Georgia and Customs there wanted $12,000 in duty's. Third day she landed in Philadelphia and Customs there wanted $8,000......Her next stop was Edmonton, AB. where she needed $6,000. He actually email a buddy who lives there and asked him to drive to the airport and look for her.

A month ago he asked each of us to lend him $10,000 to which he would pay us back $20,000 in 30 days. We all said no. He got mad so I never found out what it was for.

He has been talked to by all of our group, the local police fraud department and the RCMP, to no avail. We might as well have been talking to his dog.

Last week we found out he sent them another $12,000

I can't speak that he is that stupid.......... And no I won't give any of you his address.
