Victim. He's a victim.

[TemporaryPermanent]

Just found out that my dad is still embroiled with a 419 scam (the ones that start with 'I have 2 billion in the bank and if you send me 200 quid I'll give you 4 million' etc etc.

I am so angry that this is still happening. Last time I knew about it I was suddenly called by an ex girlfriend of his asking where her money was, to find that he'd been persuading people he knew to 'invest '. I don't know if he's still doing that but somehow he is giving money to them. I hope to God it's not his current girlfriend's.

He's a victim of a scam. But I'm angry with him and his lack of morals around money and his bloody weakness.

The scammers are professional and know their job.
Has Ddad contacted action fraud?

No, he's never accepted that it's a scam. we contacted them years ago - there's nothing that can be done.

The only thing we could do is warn hid girlfriend's family - but it's true I'm reluctant for them to chuck him out! I think we should though. He wasn't living with her when we knew before.

It's so hard while the scam is ongoing I know it is a bit trite but could you contact BBC they do a regular morning show with Gloria hunniford and Angela rippon about these scams the bank may even help.
You have my sympathy
