And I thought I Was Gullible...

PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian couple stole 50,000 euros from a woman in the Sicilian city of Palermo after convincing her they were vampires who would impregnate her with the son of the Anti-Christ if she did not pay them.

The man, a cabaret singer, and his girlfriend took the money from their victim over four years by selling her pills at 3,000 euros each that they said would abort the Anti-Christ's son.

Police uncovered the fraud after the 47-year-old woman's family became concerned when they discovered she had spent all her savings, local news agencies AGI and ANSA reported.

My goodness!! I don't know who to be disgusted with more...the scammers or the lady dumb enough to fall for it! Whether you're in a foreign country and don't "understand" the culture or not, you'd still have to be pretty gullible to fall for something like that!
