Unbelievable......Just read the Daily Mail Article at the bottom

Arthur Stimpson, from Norfolk, was 'brainwashed' by an email scam into believing he had won £2.7million on a Spanish lottery and handed over £50,000 of his own money to conmen who claimed it was needed to release the massive windfall. When his own money ran out, Stimpson fooled those closest to him into handing over more than £1.1million in his increasingly desperate bid to get his hands on the jackpot.

Mr Stimpson, it should be pointed out, attended both university and public school and was a Member of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (MRICS). In other words, he was a man of considerable intelligence and accomplishment.


Just goes to show it can happen to anyone

This article would make a good educational tool (handout) for those baiters who make presentations to seniors and others at local libraries.

another relevant article and rather less holier-than-thou than the Mail:
http://www.northnorfolknews.co.uk/news/how_norfolk_surveyor_s_spanish_lottery_dream_damaged_family_and_friends_1_1157864
which explains how the "marshland" scam Stimpson created actually worked. He was smart enought to start his own fraud schemes to pay the scammers. Nightmarish stuff.

^^^ Interesting reading. I wonder how far along the authorities were able to trace the money.
