This guy sweet talked my elderly mother and got her to send him her life savings.  He pretended to have worked for the FBI/CIA investigating fraud and would help her get her money back while continuing to have her send money to get a share of the mega-millions.  He used wire transfers, western union, and even had her get a deposable phone from target (she barely knows how to use her regular cell phone).  She still thinks he cares about her and will help her get her money back.
