Scam Call Turns Deadly With An Uber Driver Being Killed
I have dealt with scammers for years. But this is the first time that I have heard of a scam leading to someone to being killed. I have for you a news report where a man in Ohio was being bombarded with scam calls, which lead to an Uber driver being shot and killed by said man. Here’s the video that describes what happened. And I will say that this is not for the faint of heart:
What this appears to be is a scam where instead of the scammers using electronic means to steal money from you, they somehow get you to withdraw cash and then have someone pick it up from you. That someone may be an intermediary who delivers it to someone else who sends the money to its final destination, or they may do that themselves. This is sometimes referred to as a “Hawala” which you can get more info here.
Now the police have arrested this man for shooting the Uber driver. But what I wish would also happen, but I don’t see it happening, is that the scumbags behind this scam get tracked down and arrested as well as they are just as guilty in this Uber driver’s death. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Scammers are the lowest forms of life out there. They need to be treated like cockroaches and exterminated with extreme prejudice. And the fact that this happened illustrates why that needs to happen sooner rather than later.
