he told me what a wonderful thing that
had happened while I was gone that we
wouldn't have to worry about money
anymore Pamela Petty's husband Harry had
received a life-changing email while she
was away caring for her sick parents my
husband had been on the computer
received a letter stating that he had
inherited money from a relative that had
died they would get eight million
dollars all he needed to do was pay a
fee to get the inheritance and the scam
started that started the loss of
everything that we owned after the first
payment the con men came up with excuses
for why they needed more money
eventually the petty cent almost half a
million dollars their retirement and
life savings my husband lost his life he
lost his spirit is broken he sits in a
robe all day long I personally
interviewed the doctor his wife and his
story was heartbreaking postal
inspectors say the scam is all too
common they began working the case and
along with authorities abroad were able
to extradite and convict the suspects
inspectors say all consumers need to
remember is for you send money check
credit card number you should be sure
you trust where it's going because if
it's a scam you'll never see that money
again despite what's happened to her and
her husband Pamela petty tries to remain
optimistic it's not easy but they they
have not broken my spirit
