Scammers; deceit and lies.

This is in response to the "scamming story" contest, organized by @swissclive. What a delightful soul she is.

Okay, i will try to make this short so as to drive home the point. My dad and his partner used to be very close. They do everything together. I used so see the man as an honest man and maybe kind hearted too. How wrong could i be.

Dad died and before he died, they were expecting certain amount of money from their foreign partners in millions but it got delayed for some reasons but was released when dad died.

We used to have a personal driver too, but now, he has been recruited officially to the company after dad's demise but he still has close affinity to us. He made us know when the money came in from the foreign partners and at that time, with so much going on and still to be done, we saw it as a welcomed relief at the least. We promised each other never to go and ask his partner unless he called. He got to know we have gotten wind of it, so out of "formality", he called us. My brother and i went there. My eldest brother wasn't around.

We went there with a bit of excitement and after he greeted us and asked about us a bit, he told us that they were expecting a certain amount from their foreign partners. My brother and i both feigned ignorance. He pressed further and said, even though the money came; 50 million naira (Nigerian currency), he said they had to settle debts and they were left with 250,000 naira. Whaaaaaaat?!?!. My heart echoed thunder! What kind of deceit is this? This is wickedness with total disregard for consequences. Does he think being young as we were then means we had no sense? He was only honest about owing our dad 130,000 naira, even with that, i still had my doubts. We told him we have heard him and we would love to take our leave. He gave us 2,000 naira as transport, hahaha.

My brother and i made sure we didn't go home with that stipend. When this so called partner too died after several years, that was when the secret popped out about the houses he bought, the lies he gave, and even the workers he deprived. He was cursed even on the day of his burial by the workers who went there to pay their final dues to him, but stumbled upon the eavesdropping and the magnitude of the edifice they saw and the fleet of cars safely kept in his house. I definitely felt cheated. From someone who should have you under his wings to actually clip the wing and cover your face with lies and deceit, that is totally unacceptable, but that is the lesson i have been exposed to, early in life and i am definitely stronger for it.

He died but left with nothing. So, scammers, ask yourself, what's the fuss about it?

Life is nothing but like a walking shadow. A poor player that strut and fret his hour upon the stage and is heard no more, is likea tale, told by idiots, full of sound of fury, signifying nothing. - William Shakespeare.

Don't take life too serious, you won't get out of it alive.
As for me, i would rather live for a day and touch many lives positively, than to live for hundred years and not be remembered for good, by anyone.

Thank you for reading.
