Bill Cara, "Every day I am shocked at something or other I see reported in the news. Today the Toronto Star headline reads, “Court says no break in scam loss.” The headline could have read, “Securities dealer found guilty of stupidity.” I figured that several years ago, approximately 99.9 pct of anybody older than the age of 15 and possessing of a normal IQ would not be fooled by the Nigerian advance-fee scam. But apparently Dwayne Heppner, a registered Limited Market Dealer in Ontario, and a lawyer to boot, and his client, reported losing -$340,000 that they say was a front fee for helping a mysterious Nigerian businessman get $30.9 million out of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in return for a reward of $9.3 million. After the Canada Revenue Agency denied their tax claim, for which they ought to have been prosecuted for even making such a ridiculous claim, yesterday the Tax Court of Canada rejected their appeal. These people ought to have been charged for gross negligence or reckless, wanton or intentional stupidity. They say they flew to London to meet their Nigerian contact, and only after they balked at his demand for an additional $400,000 for an “insurance certificate”, did the contact disappear and they realize they had been duped. The mind boggles. And you wonder how HB&B found so many idiots to meet their Liar Loan scam? This is good proof that the people are out there. -------------------------------------------------------------- billcara.com

>>``He is a total fool,'' Rogers said. ``He said Americans who buy only American goods are not affected if the value of the U.S. dollar goes down. I was terrified.'' << Yeah, it is kind of funny how come Harvard could turn out this kind of smart graduate<g>
