Grandfather, 67, Who Fell For $10M Phishing Scam Faces Life In Japanese Jail …
…. after 'being tricked into smuggling drugs into the country in his luggage'
//His daughter Laura said her father has fallen for an email phishing scam and was persuaded to go to Mali to collect an inheritance, where drugs were hidden in his luggage without his knowledge, and was then convinced to fly to Japan to get his inheritance signed off and confirmed.//
She said // 'My dad has diabetes and rarely travels. He's never been further than Scarborough before and now he's accused of being an international drug dealer. //
Something doesn’t seem to ring true with this. A man who has never been further than Scarborough flies to Mali and then on to Japan without telling anyone? An old fool? What to make of it?

I read this in the paper yesterday and felt so sad for this man, taking his version of events at face value. If he knew he was smuggling drugs I have no sympathy and he deserves everything he gets.
Years ago I was in the front office of a police station when an elderly couple came in, very excited but very worried. They had received a letter informing them they had won a lot of money and not to tell anyone. All they had to do was buy something to release the funds. They weren't at all suspicious, they were anxious because they told their neighbour and worried they wouldn't get their money.
They were distraught when they were told it was a scam.

hc4361, there’s no end to the gullibility of some people, but for a complete novice it’s no mean feat to board a plane in the UK, fly to Casablanca, take a connecting flight to Mali, then another to Japan. The journey in itself would be daunting for someone who’s never travelled.
steg, according to another report //[Japan] is also one of the biggest markets for illegal amphetamines, with a single gram worth more than £500. It makes Frank’s haul worth £1million//
