Reviews of scams here certainly show that. I know my aunt in Australia when she was around 90 was continually scammed, fortunately my cousin discovered it when she was down about A$10,000 and got it stopped. |

It was just the clueless responding to calls from the gullible, nothing that bothered me. Certainly no harassment from the original party. The calls stopped once they got a clue that their marks were dialing a wrong number. -- sf |
