Watched a documentary on Gerald Cotten and it did seem that sometimes real life stories are more interesting than fiction. You can read about it here:
Attached to above article, I found below one about another scandal. Tells how we are all living in the midst of frauds.
Reminds me of another fraud story I read a few months back, about Anna Delvy
Talking about scams and scamsters, recently a businessman tried to dupe me of a large sum of money. I was not foolish but I was not cautious too and now I am going to the court to sue him. I have thought about how I could be duped because I know that we should not easily trust people, and I have come to the conclusion that at the end of the day, I did not value money over human trust. I had a suspicion about what if the person does not return the money as promised, but I still went ahead with the transaction because somewhere I did not "value" money that much. I have tried to tell me that it is a weakness and I need to get over it. But, at the same time despite all our precautions, scamsters do scam us with their nice words and all once in a while.
