Phony US pilot scams fortune teller
Yeah, this story can’t be good for a Korean woman’s fortune-telling business. Why didn’t she see it coming? Anyway, a Korean man named Lee (I know that doesn’t narrow it down much does it?) told a 56-year-old fortune-teller that he was an American Apache pilot and used his phony story to rob her blind over the course of a few months, says Stars & Stripes;
The two developed what Choi described as a mother-son relationship, with Lee promising to care for her as if she were his parent. The woman took Lee shopping and bought him clothes that included U.S. military boots and camouflage pants.
But the woman became suspicious and called police in mid-August when she realized several rings and earrings were missing. They determined that Lee had stolen and resold the jewelry.
Choi said Lee was also wanted for theft in his hometown of Taean-gun. Gangseo police have recommended to prosecutors that Lee be charged with theft.
I guess all it takes is a short haircut and to dress like an American in some parts of the world. Someone sent me this link yesterday, but I can’t find the email now, sorry.
