I talked a man out of sending about $1500 cash to the Canadian Lottery he had "won" and he acted toward me later like I had actually cost him money.
He could have "won" and you "blew" his golden opportunity.
He had already "won". The cash was for "taxes". It was the early days of the internet and I found a Canadian Scambuster site and got a woman there to call him and talk him down. Actually, I wasn't able to convince him, myself. He was living in a van and was going to sell his remaining guitars to raise the $1500.
When has the Government EVER given you all the money in a "Lottery" and let you owe them the taxes???? ..... that's what I thought.
