Harry Metcalfe writes to Geeklawyer with an astounding story of a man who persuaded banks to send him bundles of cash (£3.5 million) on a ludicrous pretext: “I’m a spy investigating terrorism/money laundering so send me all your money”.
wow!!
Geeklawyer is tempted to say “how dumb were these people?” but he has seen so many examples of this: e.g. the UK conman jailed for life a few weeks back who persuaded a lawyer a psychologist and other intelligent professionals that he was an MI5 spy. He kept them on the run for a decade while spending their money and making them sleep on parkbenches.
Why don’t any of these people ever say “this is wierd, big and wierd - I’ll call someone at head office. Stuff his instructions to tell absolutely no-one”?
