Anybody else watching?

Old guy has a young woman add him on a website, talk for a bit and then tells him she needs money for a building project. He ends up ending her in total £100k.

Can't believe people fall for it.

Christ, blatant Nigerian accents as well.

Easy money.

There should be some sort of filter, like kid filters.

Can understand loneliness but some of them were just blatant

I couldn't believe that he fell for it again and had just sent £500 to someone else using the same tactics :wideyed:

Isps, websites etc should really be helping with things like that.

You would think they can see an old bloke connecting to people in Nigeria all the time. Same with banks sending them money.

I couldn't even buy a dishwasher without my bank stopping it for security, how do they allow 100k to go overseas?
