A scam announced!!! (Based on real events)

in #story9 years ago

It all happened on a common day, while reading a book on motivation and planning to invest my next resources gained on the Steemit platform. While doing all that, I received an email on a page where I also publish my articles, where a person invited me to send an email, because I wanted to tell their story. 

At first, I didn't understand much, but then I figured, that person wanted to tell me his personal story, so I could share it with you. Before I gave any answer, I started to think a lot about that person needed me and if I could really meet their expectations. 

After two days, I received an email from that person, telling me his story, about which she had cancer and was in her last days, and that her goal is that she, wanted to leave me part of her fortune, which she had inherited from her husband, according to his words, he was Ambassador of the United States in a country in the Middle East, without a doubt, when he read it moved me and made me think many things. One of them, it's probably a scam!

Take out that rationing, because in what head it fits, that someone, can leave a fortune, someone who does not know and also telling his story through an email. That is why, I deduced that it was, had a great possibility that it was so, for that reason I consulted with my wife and told him what happened, she without hesitation told me, it is possible that it is a lie, but it is also possible that it is true.  

Now, Luis, but if it's true, wouldn't you like to meet the goals set by that person?

That still, it made me more thoughtful, although in my mind it happened that it was a scam without a doubt. As we walked we met, with a rather elderly person, who needed the help to gather, because they were going to do a chemotherapy, That made us more thoughtful, because, my wife and I, we thought it was a sign, that we should help that person in the email. 

That is why I decided to answer him, telling him that he appreciated his confidence and that he would do his best to fulfill his last will. I do not deny that I felt pretty nervous, I did not know if I would be good at what I had been entrusted. Before this person could answer me, I wanted to get out of my doubts and began to investigate, if it was real or a vile scam, so I decided to find out, by the name of your husband, That, according to his words was Ambassador of the United States, because of that, I deduced that, if it was true, something should appear on the Internet.

When looking for his name in the search engine, appeared a very curious first link, which I devote to read carefully and talked about a method to scam through email and that chance, said email denounced, It's very similar to the one they sent to me, so I figured when I responded, I was going to do it, the way I was denounced in that article, and guess what? So it was, totally the same, as it was denounced. 

This circumstance made me think of something, the filth that can turn a person in the blessed money, but even more filth, as the story of a person with cancer, to achieve their goals. What kind of society are we in? What kinds of people are we? 

Without doubt, we are a society, selfish, manipulative and in essence mediocre, this does not go to all people, but unfortunately millions of people are, it is sad that our society is like that.

Before completing, I invite you to be more cautious in the networks, I would also like to comment, if you have ever tried to scam on the internet.

Hats off to you for going the extra mile to see if it really was a scam or not. In everyday life I get hit up for bogus donations alllll the time. So much so that I've even stopped giving to charities because they all seem to turn into a bureaucratic money grab with penny's to the cause. Enough with my rant:). Thanks so much for sharing:)

If they unfortunately take advantage of people, they act of goodwill.
