Glad that a crime was prevented, but I was wondering the same thing cbr$. We'll probably never find out. Even though there are privacy concerns, UPS does have the right to inspect packages according to their internal security protocol, especially given all the illegal activity they unintentionally facilitate.

What a dumesh , priceless. It's old time Russian m@f:@ tactics. Still happens. I wonder how many people he tried to do that do in the first place. And how he got informaton about those people. Iowa-Buffalo. What's the connection?

Other people taking care of older peoples monies for them..

Nursing home facilities do this all the time for the elderly that they are supposed to be taking care of, and they double dip them all the time also. They steal from them for the same reasons that othe... [ More ]

Bagent, They have prepared answers for every reply you give them. Scammers, in general, are professionals at what they do. These conmen and conwomen are hungry and desperately need your cash for drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, etc.

When you win the Lottery you will be contacted by these crooks. It will be difficult to tell the difference between a legitimate request and an illegitimate one. The simple two letter word NO will go far.

My thought is this - If I get a letter saying that I won a large amount of cash but need to send money to pay taxes or processing, I say if this is real, take the fees and taxes out of the winnings and send me the rest. I don't have to pay anything.

Maybe someone should step in and start handling these Ole people money for them after they get a certain age it's obvious they can't seem to do it themselves.

Two detectives were waiting for Dumesh. Reminded me of How to catch a predator where these guys show up at these locations hoping to nail an underage girl and Chris Hansen enters the picture and asks what are you doing here? ...priceless.

An investigation showed the box contained $8,300 and was sent from an 81-year-old Iowa woman. The woman got a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS and was told she needed to send the money to process a cash prize she had won i... [ More ]
