That first story with the house would make a good thriller movie. It ends with the fraudster hanging on by his fingertips from a skyscraper roof ledge, begging the revered to forgive him. Pastor just puts on his sunglasses "God forgives. Not me." and stomps the guy's hand.

@Krystel Iris de Castro Already have my own idea for a film, it just needs a UK cast, and probably, audience as well. Can work in America, but not as well. The concept is comedy/sci-fi, and centers on a rowdy, drunken football fan club, abducted by aliens, having mistaken an average post-game football riot for them being savage barbarians; kidnapping the drunken squad for their fighting arena. One of them is so dumb and intoxicated, he never comprehends the situation, and keeps asserting they took a wrong turn, and are just lost in the next town over.

Regarding the first clip (stolen house)…I’m in the real estate industry. In New York, none of this would have been necessary. If you enter a vacant house, let’s say one that is up for sale, change the locks and occupy the house or apartment, the owners are SCREWED! They can call the police, FBI, Secret Service or any law enforcement, and there’s NOTHING they can or will do. The only option is to take the home invaders to landlord/tenant court. Unfortunately, in NY, if the home invaders play it smart with postponements, etc., this process can take well over a year. Again, there’s nothing you can do other than that. I know there are similar laws in many other states/cities. This is one law that must be changed, but nobody puts any effort into dealing with lawmakers, etc. Imagine you’re selling the house to pay for your moms cancer treatment and this happens 🤦‍♂️ On the other hand, with certain neighborhoods like Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, a heavily Russian area with heavy Russian organized crime, court wouldn’t be necessary because the home invaders would be escorted to their new home immediately. Unfortunately for them, it’s a few feet under ground.

That makes no sense, no matter how sneaky, a sale isn't legal if a person fraudulently sells something. You have to sign documents to sell a house, and in this case the legal home owner did not. The sale of the house was a ruse and nothing more. In my opinion it is the home buyer who got scammed and not the home owner. I'd even go as far to say that Mike could sue for loss and damage to his property.

I wondered where the expression "I have a bridge to sell you" originated. I also will admit that while I was fairly gullible in the past, I've become wise to some attempted scams these days. For instance, I get at least 5-10 emails a day claiming that I've won something, there's a package waiting for my confirmation, or that a company is reaching out to me with a job offer for a "Supply Chain Manager." Most of these go straight into my Junk folder, and in the case of the fraudulent job offers (where they try to steal personal information), I simply respond in Spanish that I don't speak English.

A Deal or Scam One day in 1989 A lady called Emily who was 20 lived in Sweden was walking to her local store. On her way Emily saw a garage sale or a street sale. A smart man stood behind 5he table with a sighn saying Wood, materials, bikes and ties. Emily had £30 in her pocket so she came up to the man. She needed a ride to the store so she bought one the man said "It will be £23.78" Emily gave in her money and bought a bike. After 5 mins it broke down. The man who solved her the bike had been selling weak things to all his customers. He was later told to give back the money and served 4 yrs in prison.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

We had a scammer in Queensland who sold waterfront property on Russell Island, inspections were always done at low tide, after making many sales he was arrested Russell Island had boom potential written all over it Sales were brisk, with interstate buyers attracted by the developer’s glossy project promotions, including a government promise that a bridge would soon be built to the mainland. It was obvious to all the buyers that property prices on Russell Island were set to boom. Over the ensuing years, the opposite happened. Many buyers discovered that their blocks were located in areas of poor drainage and some even disappeared at high tide. Around 14,000 lots could never be built on and turned out to be worthless. The government’s promise to construct a bridge to the mainland also evaporated and no bridge has ever been built, but of all the people associated with this highly dodgy development, only the surveyor was charged and sent to prison.

Holly crap! When the internet first came out for almost 1/2 a decade we used to get emails saying someone had died and left their entire estate to us. All we had to do was get a hold of them for more details. Thankfully we never believed a word of the scammers!

There are places here in the South where the illegal home intruders would be dragged out by owner and buddies, late one night. If the fraudster is lucky.... he might see the light of morning. Maybe not. 😡

Regarding the last one about the fraud lady. Lionel Richie was not fooled; all that know him or even have crossed paths with him knows he is a very humble guy. He will talk, hug, share a table and be welcome with anyone. That’s the reason why he got screwed on the 80’s, (he was too giving) but today he still as humble and giving as always. So no, he wasn’t fooled, he just didn’t care about who she was but as being the welcome gentleman he has always been.
