He wants to trasfer the money out of his bank into my account. All he needs is my full name, private phone number and current residential address. I can't believe this. I'm afraid there might be people out there that would fall for this. It scares me. I have received other scam letters but never one with this much money involved.

Rationality and logicgal thinking are not part of their makeup. Greeds biggest weapon is delusion. Delusion will cause a person do do things that go against what makes sense. It overides education, race, or social status. Prides biggest weapon is denial. It will not let the individual see that they are being fooled. This doctor has been overtaken by greed and pride.

If you'd ever needed something like this, I would STRONGLY recomend you get service like this. make sure they restore your identity too because most 90-95% of the monitor companies dont restore, instead they give you a kit so you can spend your time and money to fix it yourself.

This appears to be a scam since I did not enter such a lotto.

In my case I live in New Jersey, and am not having much luck getting coordination with NJ police and NYC police. In one instance alone with Saks, $10,000 was placed on an account I did not authorize. I am nervous about what other damage may be happening and I am not yet aware of it. Ray, I am having a similiar situation, and the fraud is also being tracked back to Brooklyn.

I am a 56-year-old well-educated executive working in a large well-known corporation. I just learned last week ((3/4/2006 ) that I am a vicitim of Identity Theft (social security # & all relevant info) resulting from a “security breach” between EXPERIAN CREDIT–CITIFINANCIAL RETAIL SERVICES–and “PRESTIGIOUS FURNITURE” (aka “Coral Furniture”) in Brooklyn, New York. (I live on the West Coast and have not been in New York since 1976) On 12/4/05 CITIFINANCIAL RETAIL SERVICES approved a $7,000. furniture loan in my name. I just received the first “billing statement” because furniture had been purchased during a “SPECIAL PROMOTION” “No bill for 90 days”: I learned this morning, from Detective Lyons, NYPD (718)-851-5535 ext.5537, that he has received 27 reports since 3/5/06 from individuals all over the country who have been victimized by this recent security breach and "cooperative insider relationship" between EXPERIAN, CITIFINANCIAL, & “PRESTIGIOUS FURNITURE.” NEITHER EXPERIAN NOR CITIFINANCIAL ARE FORTHCOMING ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON. I have retained a private attorney and a private investigator. Social status, income and education are irrelevant when it comes to identity theft.

The point of the article is that young and old, rich and poor, educated and ignorant can all become victimes. Greed is universal.

Just because someone is a doctor does not mean they are all that with it at the old age of 89. Obviously because his son seems to be stepping in to act for him, he may not be completly with it.
