ABC News<\/a> reports that a mother and daughter team in Colorado were indicted in a Nigerian dating scam which used profiles of military members to entice women into sending them money;<\/p>\n

Tracy Vasseur, 40, and her mother, Karen Vasseur, 73, of Brighton, Colo., about 21 miles north of Denver, face a hearing on Tuesday in the Adams County District Court. The Colorado Attorney General, John Suthers, said the two were part of a scam since 2009 that “lured unsuspecting women to internet dating sites by posing as members of the U.S. military serving in Afghanistan. The Vasseurs’ 374 victims over a three year period were based throughout the United States and from 40 other countries.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, and if you look at their pictures, they’re pretty hot…or something. The scams were expensive to the victims – $10,000 to $59,000 a shot. These scams aren’t limited to the internet. Someone called my mother pretending to be my son. The scammer told her that he was in Ecuador and needed $5000 for car repairs. In a country where $5000 would buy a new car? My mother didn’t fall for it, and the local police wouldn’t do anything because she didn’t give them any money.<\/p>\n

The call came from California, you’d think that they’d at least trace the call and let the criminals know that they were being monitored, but I guess police won’t do anything until there’s a crime committed, which almost makes sense. So I guess the only thing I can do is let folks know that these scams are out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
