My brother is renting a room in his house. Woman from Nigeria was interested. She was

living in the USA and her brother in Toronto was going to pay. My brother asked for certified cheque. They kept balking. Said he was her cousin. Asked for my brother's chequing account number. So my brother called them on their scam. They were trying to work him into an anxious frenzy before they pounced.

Hate that. Of course I am worried that my family is on some list for grifters since I had trouble with psychopaths in the past.

Have you ever been the victim of scams?
