He should consider himself blessed that he $200, 000 to be scammed out of.
I can't exactly weep for him, my dark heart won't allow it!

[color=navy]Greed will make people fall for anything. Be it the pigeon drop or the Ponzi scheme. The common denominator is human greed. The really good fraudsters are experts in exploiting people over their own greed.
The pigeon drop on the old man above is really about numbers though. The fraudsters call about a 1000 people and it's a good day if they con only 1 of them. 8)
