He died almost penniless and this is what we want to share with you so you can be vigilant with your friends and relatives.

He fell victim to what is commonly referred to as the Nigerian Money Scheme. Not sure why or how (he was a bright guy/but elderly). I gone through phones and papers to find out that he’d sent them since 2016 nearly $100,000 in money cards of various amounts. It’s tragic, they hounded his phone even past his death. I’ve spoken with a few of these ruthless bastards but they are untraceable and law enforcement local and federal really doesn’t give a damn.

Please watch out for unusual business or banking activity, frequent phone calls from all over the country etc. Anyone needing more information about this scam feel free to private message me or drop me a note at Mjvinesauthor@gmail.com . So I don't take up to much space on the board. We never thought it could happen to one of ours.

Thanks guys/gals just wanted to share.

I'm sorry for your family's loss Mike. It's gotten to the point with scammers that if I don't recognize the number then I don't even answer the phone.
