Forrest Gump 9 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ok, here we go. What would you do if someone you know is being scam? You can't tell his/her spouse because if you do, that will potentially result in divorce. Can I as a friend report the "potential scam" to the authority to help? The said person doesn't believe his/her being scam. Or should I just keep my mouth shut and enjoy the bowl games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 The said person doesn't believe his/her being scam. Said person doesn't believe they are being scammed and they obviously don't believe or trust your judgement about the matter. The first is typical because they are too close to the matter. The latter says a bit more. Even more-so if they are a good friend to you. Just let them know you'll be there to help pick them up when they fall but that they have a HUGE, "I told you so coming."

Littleguy Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Emotion and financial So does this involve cheating on the spouse? When I hear, can't tell the spouse because it may result in divorce, and it is an "emotional and financial" scam it makes me think maybe he/she is being shady/up to no good and deserves whatever is coming??

Forrest Gump 9 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 How about more details of said scam. Alright, my former boss is the said person. Her husband is constantly travel so he's not home. She started Facebook and making friends all over the world. Anyway, she's been heavily involve with this person all the way in Malaysia for the last two months. Come to find out this scoundrel said he's a businessman over there dealing in millions of dollars. Money tied up in some deals need $5000 pay back in two weeks with interest. Next thing $10k, and so on. I think she on the hook for $30-40k. But still doesn't think its a scam. It always wire money to multiple accounts each for $2k. Her sister still work with me so that's up I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbs3000 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Holy bajebus.... I didn't know that crap actually worked. Honestly, everyone needs to know. Either you forget you ever heard a single part of that or you scream up and down for at least the sister to do something about it. That husband is going to lose his mind...

Hell I don't even have to cheat on my wife to make this work. Makes not getting strange from a Mistress appealing. Sorry for your friend and their family, but honestly if the dude didn't realize that much money is going out then that's lesson #2 that's going to come from all this. WOW! IMO: TELL HIM! For everyone's sake....tell him to just "look into the finances a bit" WOW! This is the kind of stuff I'd travel to Malaysia for with the intent to kill. 95% serious.

2highpsi Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 I always wonder how someone is capable of accumulating hundreds of thousands of dollars... yet they are stupid enough to fall for this kind of thing. Tell the husband. If it results in divorce, then so be it. He will thank you later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 She is voluntarily giving this person money and has some attachment to them. Scammed or not she is making a personal loan to them. This isn't a criminal case unless they are making her invest into something or promising something. Sounds like the person is asking for a Personal loan and will repay with Interest. Your boss is just an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Can I contact the attorney General office? May be the FBI, since it's wire transfer fraud??? Personally, let the husband do it. They aren't going to do anything if you call except ask does the husband know and then to tell you to get him involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
