Here’s a novel approach that adds a sense of urgency. This scammer, “Diplomat Dr. Paul Tony,” claims to be at the airport right now waiting to hear from you so he can deliver your inheritance cash. You’d better hurry up!
Salesmen of all kinds, legitimate and crooked, have always known that time pressure, whether real or imagined, can often close a deal. “Dr. Tony” is using that psychological leverage to try to get you to take the bait. If you do, well, you’ll discover you have to pay “customs fees” or “import taxes” before delivery can be made. And if you’re foolish enough to do that, he’ll vanish with your money, never to be heard from again.
