Small regional paper in northern Massachusetts. Not within 1000's of miles of me [just ask Nurse Nasty].

Lacking a gift from God the luv struck codger will be on the hook for $10K US, but probably won't be prosecuted.......

So many victims from a small area in a short period of time. The demographics tell the real story.

It only allowed me to read 1 of the 3 pages (the other 2 were 403 forbidden), but what I did read was good information in

"Be cautious of who you communicate with online and do not send money to someone you never met, especially someone who presents a romantic interest in you," Thompson said. "And never cash a check for someone you don't know on the internet. Talk to a friend or a relative and call police. Even if there's not a lot we can do as it's coming from overseas, we can put the warning out."

I wonder if the company whose account was breached:

The bank told police that the company the $6,400 check was written against was also investigating.

is going to hold the victim responsible. Most times the victim is held responsible and possibly charged with money laundering. Sad

You should get 5 pages free with a subscribe offer after - that's USA at least.

I went back and it allowed me to read the other 2 pages. I hate reading articles like this. Makes me sad for the victims. Is there anyway to contact the author of the article and direct the victims to Scam Warners?

They also listed this website Beware of 876 that has good information and warnings.

I think Beware of 876 is my cousin. It was a sad article, especially to see three hit in that short of time in the same area.

Thank you Philo! I should actually learn to contact the reporters myself, so whenever I see an article such as this I can direct them to Scam Warners. Wink
