| Post subject: | Medium mentions 419 scams |
Does anyone watch the show Medium, about Allison DuBois who works for the DA's office and can see and hear people who have died and can pick up on things? Allison DuBois is a real person, and her gift has helped to solve many cases. On the show this week her daughter Bridgette who also has this gift, runs into a man in the library using the computer every day. He is dressed as an African prince, or at least that is the way that he appears to the girl. She sees the name that he uses on an email account, and when her older sister is later complaining about the spam emails and mentions the same name Bridgette tells the family that she knows this guy and that he comes to the library all of the time. They family tried to tell Bridgette that it is a scam, and that he is just pretending to be a Prince with a lot of money and that in his emails he asks you to give him some money to help him get his money out of the bank that it is in. So, the next day Bridgette sees this guy at the library again and gives him all of the money she has (about $30 I think . . . remember, this is a girl in grade school) and she says he can take it to help him get his money and then he just has to pay her back when he does get her money. I think it is great that they are getting the word about the Nigerian scams out into the popular television shows. This one episode could have helped to educate a lot of people that this is a scam. Here is a link to a clip http://www.cbs.com/primetime/medium/vid ... e&vs=Clips And for more on the whole episode, you can go here http://www.tv.com/medium/dear-dad-.../e ... de;summary |
