Classic. What I wonder is, does anyone fall for this stuff? In the history of the internet has anyone ever thought a deposed prince was going to send them millions?

Yes, and I used to date one of them. *cringe*

Unfortunately, they do. I have a elderly widowed patron I've been helping to obtain free legal help. We took up a collection this winter to cover her gas and electric and she is in danger of losing her home. In 2016, she gifted all of her savings including a newly acquired home equity loan to her 'prince'. I saw some of the correspondence and it was text book How to Swindle One of the Lonely. I did ask her how she, an intelligent women, could have fallen for it. Her answer? "Oh dear, I always dreamed of being a princess."
