Now for last week’s Mystery Question answer. Which three scams have people fallen for?
  1. Dear Sir/Madam, We have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites. Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached. Yours faithfully, Steven Allison, Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI– when people click on the attachment, they download a dangerous variant of the w/32 sober virus that locks up their computer.
  2. The $2 million money wash: An Australian poured $2 million into a sham investment scheme which claimed to be able to convert blank paper into currency using a chemical process. It’s an old trick but this was a record haul for the crooks.
  3. More than a few people have been duped into buying an avocado-based pill costing one hundred dollars for thirty capsules that promise to melt away stomach fat. Buyers responded to a Facebook add –to the tune of over ten million dollars in the past five years.
  4. US investors are thought to have lost $140 million in an international scheme to sell billions of worthless stocks. After victims had been stung, the alleged scammers then offered to help them get their money back, charging a hefty upfront fee but, of course, doing nothing.

And the answer is…#3 I can’t believe I skunked everyone!!! And as for #4, which a lot of you thought I made up, I can’t believe people would fall for the same scammers twice!

Now for this week’s Mystery Question taken from police blotter reports. Three are true, one is false. Which one did I make up?
  1. Officers were dispatched to a local tavern after a report of a man attempting to enter the tavern riding a longhorn steer. Upon arrival the officers arrested the suspect and called animal control for the steer. When asked why he rode the steer to the tavern, the suspect replied that he didn’t want to be arrested for DUI.
  2. Officers were dispatched to a residence to investigate a stabbing. On arrival, officers contacted two males inside the residence, one of whom had been stabbed in the arm and in the leg. The investigation revealed that the two males were friends and were playing a video game inside the residence and began to argue about the game. The verbal argument escalated into a physical disturbance and the victim was stabbed.
  3. Police received a call about a suspicious vehicle. Upon initial contact with the vehicle, officers observed the suspect climb out of the trunk, but quickly go back into the trunk when he observed officers by his vehicle. A K9 unit responded to assist with arresting the suspect for his Felony Eluding charge. The suspect was eventually removed from the trunk of the vehicle, at which time he fled on foot and was then apprehended by the K9 dog.
  4. Officers were dispatched for a reported shooting. Upon arrival officers made contact with the victim who said that he was carrying his .40 caliber Glock as he got into his parked vehicle. He went to holster the gun in a firearms holster attached to the seat and did not realize his finger was on the trigger. The gun went off and the bullet struck his right upper leg and he was transported to the hospital for non life threatening injuries.

Okay, Super Sleuths, which one did I make up? Leave a comment and be entered in October’s drawing for a $10 Amazon gift card or a print copy of Justice Buried.

    I’m going with #1 this time but it’s probably #4.
    Congrats to Caryl Kane! She sure does win a lot of contests! Glad she survived the hurricane.

    Pat, I don’t know about anyone else, but I picked #4 last time for the very reason that you stated in your comment – I could not imagine anyone falling for the same scammers twice. Thus I thought that one had to be made up. Honestly, I thought #3 was exactly the kind of scam people would fall for, considering all of the diet crazes I have seen through the years. I think #3 is made up this time. I just received The Kill Zone delivered to my Amazon account. Thanks so much!

    Congratulations to our winners! I can’t believe #3 last week was the false one, I’ve seen so many “diet” or “lose weight” fast pills that I was sure it was true. You duped us all last week Patricia 🙂

    #1 made me laugh, riding a steer so you don’t get arrested for DUI?? That’s actually so stupid it’s funny 😀 I’m going with #4 this week, I think the person would a) know he had his finger on the trigger (or at least that’s logical to me) or b) would have put the safety on. But what do I know about guns, not much…lol!
