Sad thing is they must still be getting gullible people the world over to believe and go through with it or they wouldn't still be trying it.
They tried this on with my new Russian bride-to-be, I am already sending her £1,000 a month for her sick mother and I told her not to be so gullible.

Is it £500 per day maximum from an ATM machine? If they think I'm going to visit an ATM every day for 8 years, they can think again!

The most curious thing..
£1.5 million in twenties would be 75,000 notes, which would weigh a bit.
Ah - but it's 1.5m dollars, and they don't say which dollar. $1.5m Jamaican Dollars at 183/£1 is just over £8,000. You'll only be going for just over a couple of weeks!Is it £500 per day maximum from an ATM machine? If they think I'm going to visit an ATM every day for 8 years, they can think again!

This was my favourite scam this year -
Man set up a fake instagram account posing as a Russia astronaut - he contacted a Japanese woman on Instagram saying he loved her and would marry her but first …
… to actually tie the knot, he said, he needed money to return to Earth. There were landing fees to pay once in Japan and the cost of a rocket to actually fly to the country, he said.
Believing this man would be her future fiancé, the woman paid him about 4.4 million yen (about $30,000) in five installments, from August 19 to September 5, the Japanese newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
But when his demands continued, the woman grew suspicious of his intent (
) and reported him to the police, who are investigating the case as a romance scam, local media reported.
