This was a weird day ... story inside .. ---->
So I am working away .. I get a blocked call .. answer it ... it is some guy claiming to be a friend from 20 yrs ago's father .. and he has to talk to me .. " I won't waste your time" was his last words before we hung up ..
I wait the 30+ min for him to make it out to my place .. he come to the door . I vaguely remember him .. just barely ... We go inside and sit down to talk .. he almost immediately tells me he has cancer and is not doing the best .. the 20-30 min conversation goes through the whole scenario where he has cancer .. spent his and his families last penny on treatment and needs to borrow $3500 from me till he gets his mothers estate settled in the next few months .. then he can pay me back .. err .. it was exactly like the emails you get .. accept this was in my fricken office .. WTF .. what if he is telling the truth .. ?? I asked him to have his son who I remember more to call me .. so I can verify .. my gut is saying ..scam .. but i do kind of remember him .. what are your thoughts .. |
Yikes.. Keep your money you made it... Take care of yourself, if you have a bad feeling it is probably a bad feeling.. And that's why you never answer blocked calls too lol..

Sounds like a desperate man and also a scam.not to be cold but after 20 years he has the nerve to ask you for loot,I'd say sorry but no
|
I don't understand why he would pick you of all people after 20 years? My gut is sort of telling me that he has already gone through everyone else.

If you really wanted to help this guy you COULD go thru the effort of verifying all of the details and see if he really will be able to pay you back. Or you could just simply tell him because of the economy you don't have it handy.
You should not feel guilty or anyway obliged to help this person. He can get $5k off a credit card if he's that desperate and will be getting money in a few months anyways. |
Deal with your own hard times... not others'
A good heart is a good heart... but its not your responsibility... |

You should make some time to investigate more to have a peaceful mind

It's a scam, next time he contacts you call the police.
