Murfreesboro. Why am I not in the least surprised?

hahahahahahahahahahaha

Drug deal gone bad?

If this isn't a drug deal.. it's freaking hilarious.

The sailor hat mention at the end was genius and makes this all sound so whimsical as well as harmless. If you're going to get scammed by someone, the last guy you think it will be is the fella in the sailor hat.
"he seemed distinguished".

Yep, something fishy about the story. He's not telling us something important, methinks.

But you'll never con an honest John. An honest John you can't drag down. Conned only get conned when they think they're the cunning one...

/obscure?

A fool and their money were lucky to have ever gotten together to begin with.

Murfreesboro? David Price is from there.

/Rays fan

It was a drug deal scam and he's so mad at them he'll do anything including calling the cops in on it.

He did NOT get scammed. He gave that money away.

The Nigerians really have finally figured out just how stupid Americans really are.. some are so stupid they can't even use the internet.. so why not hop on a plane?

moran?

...oh yea, no need for an actual scam, either

If he had $400K on him, I would have told the guy to call a farkin' cab.

Who is this Mr. Moran fellow.. and is he related to the subby?

//-1 for spelling

Am I wrong for thinking this shouldn't be illegal?

I never knew making a dishonest living could be so easy.

Or he lost in a house of ill repute, and doesn't want to explain that to the wife...

Moran evidently then wrote a headline for Fark.

A fool and his money, and so on.

But I agree with jaylectricity. I don't know about other banks, but my bank won't let me withdraw anywhere near $7k from an ATM (even if I go to several) in one day.

lol wtf?

Hullo, I am Nigerian Prince, and I do not trust bank. If you show me how to do it I will share my $400000.

What? Why did he have to take out 7 THOUSAND DOLLARS to show how an ATM works? Would taking out a $20 bill not have done the same? Something is wrong here.

WaWaWeWa: lol wtf?

Um, yeah. That's what I came in here to say.

knoxster: Who is this Mr. Moran fellow.. and is he related to the subby?


You must be new here.

Wow.. Who knew free money was so easy to come by?

Approves, sort of.

I wasn't aware that you could withdraw $7000 from an ATM. O_O

Wanted for questioning....

The scam is a scam

Well he was 55... maybe he had early-onset senility that caused him to trust random people without reason... like when old people get scammed because they really think that some prince in Zimbabwe wants to help war orphans and needs aid in laundering money to do it.

I bet he felt all superior showing the "ignorant foreigner" the glories of the U.S of A. banking system. If some random dude told me he was carrying $400k on him, I'd assume he was a drug dealer or painfully stupid and go the other way. Either he's going to fark someone up, or he's going to get farked, and I honestly wouldn't want to be near that.

MORAN it's fark...

somebody link the Moran please...

/no time for awesome hotlink skills

This. I think maybe these guys are working to end global warming.

rufus-t-firefly: Am I wrong for thinking this shouldn't be illegal?

Yes. There are two types of people who get scammed...
The first, I have no pity for - they're crooks themselves, knowing that they're getting involved with something shady, but figuring either that the payoff is worth it or that they'll scam the scammers. In this category includes the TFer whose sister received a money order in the mail for a couple thousand that she knew nothing about, and wanted justification for cashing it.
The second group, however, are usually naive, elderly, and lonely people. Their families want nothing to do with them, so they latch onto any stranger that acts kind and interested in their stories. When they lose money, they'll keep chasing it with more money, both for the attention and because they don't want to admit to their kids (who already think they're idiots) that they were scammed out of thousands of dollars. They usually end up losing the majority of their retirement money. Scamming them should be illegal.
