Might be, but just got it today. They are very much alive out there.

My mother in law fell for one of those. It was her fault to begin with. Dating site. A guy from “Texas” by the name of Alejandro Sanchez. Long story short, after we all told her not to, she sent him various amounts of money for different things because he guaranteed her he had $900,000.00 for her as soon as he could get enough money to complete a big construction project in “Texas”. He was going to retire after the “big project” and marry her and give her all of the money for helping him get it. He needed “one final payment” of $15,000.00 to complete the project. She sent it to him after the initial $2500.00 for a “permit to complete the job” then a second payment of $5,000.00 to “finalize the permit process”. Low and behold Alejandro could pick up the money that had to be “wired” to Texas so his buddies girlfriend went to get it and wouldn’t ya know it, she was hit by a car leaving the building and the money went flying everywhere and all the people around hurried up and grabbed up all the flying money and there wasn’t enough left to make the deal work so he told her she needed to send $15,000.00 again. At that point she listened to us and didn’t send him any more money. $22,500.00 later she never heard from ole Alejandro again.
That’s, truly, a long story short. It went on for several months before she got a clue.
Her next contact only wanted $700.00 for a plane ticket to come see her. She never saw that one and still has her $700.00.😂😂

The bad thing is if you reply at all they have all the info they need.

Yeah, I reckon you've got a POINT!!! Better off, just to send'em to the "trashcan", I suppose.

Unfortunately these nut jobs get some naive people to bite. Don't know if any of these people get prosecuted or not. One way I bet they would, is give them the name of certain politicians (change first name so won't recognize same from media) and their background. Once they pull off whatever scam them will be trying, you can bet that that politician will generate plenty of heat and hopefully a cold cell and pinstripes.

My father in law fell for a scam. He spent thousands of dollars buying green dot cards and giving the people on the phone the code in the back. We only found out about it after he passed away going through his personal stuff trying to clear up things.
