    a friend of mine just fell victim to this.. the problem is no matter how many vids we send him, how many sit down talks we have with him, he still suckered into it. still giving more money, waiting for the money to come, via mail, they sent him a picture with 50K in a box with his address attached.. that was 7/11/24. as far as we know, he is out approx $6K . but he refuses to accept he's been had. according to BBB/FBI, 3rd party/friends can not file a complaint, only a "cooperating" victim can. not much more we can do.

    Many calls and letters scams. I have been playing for more than 45 year's. Keep the elderly close so they know scams. Paula

Thats gotta be great for fb...they get to keep on allowing thieves to run on the platform ad do their damage but they police us who might say one word wrong. They are as big a a scam as the scammers.
