Heh, maybe the 419 scam is continuing! The long con! :P
- elcct 10y agoReminds me of: Go to a bank. Get a job there and work there for years and years learning the place from the inside, and also learning how all of the processes and procedures are done, earning everyone's trust and respect, and simultaneously building up a 401k with matching while also going up the career ladder and taking more and more positions with more responsibility and more pay until one day you finally decide that it's over and walk out the door like nothing ever happened!

- Noseshine 10y agoI admit I'm confused now. I think, but I'm not entirely sure, that you are making fun of the reply, thinking "that guy got a job, what more do you want?" As I read it though the point was > Although they have not met each other again since, followed by > she continued to provide him with financial assistance the last part > until he completed his degree a few years ago and got a job in the American oil sector. is completely unverified, and given that the whole thing was a scam to begin with IMHO certainly does need verification in order to be believed.
- orblivion 10y ago> is completely unverified, and given that the whole thing was a scam to begin with IMHO certainly does need verification in order to be believed. That would mean he's also scamming the BBC.
- Noseshine 10y agoDid they verify it? They only seem to report it. So you downvote me for raising this very valid question? I am asking, I'm not alleging anything. But there is no proof being shown and that's just a fact. I don't know why you bring the BBC in, nothing I read indicates they personally went there. It seems like they only talked to the woman, so what the BBC knows does not go beyond to what she believes. Is asking about an issue already offensive?
- orblivion 10y agoI for one did not downvote you nor am I necessarily putting down your point. I'm just saying that if you're right, the BBC is also getting scammed. That makes it seems less likely, but sure, still possible.
- erikpukinskis 10y agoReputable news organizations have fact checkers that check these things. I assume BBC is in that category, but admittedly haven't checked that fact.
