Homeless Man Cons Gold Diggers
Far be it from us to advocate con artistry, but some people deserve what they get. Like women who sign up for Millionaire Match, a web site that purports to match quality singles with: you guessed it.
Rich and apparently desperate people sign up for this as well as smart homeless guys. The Associated Press reports Paul Kreuger set up a profile on this site and swindled 13 women out of $100,000. He posed as a Grammy-award nominated producer but was actually homeless. The laptop computer he used to run this scam was his only possession, according to police reports.
He told women he needed the money for a business he was starting – sigh. The jig was up when a woman bilked out of $10,000 called authorities when her “music producer” boyfriend stopped returning her phone calls. Kreuger appears to have gambled much of that money away.
I’m sorry, but I’m having a hard time evoking any sympathy for somebody who joined a web site looking for a sugar daddy and then got taken. First rule for detecting a millionaire: If the guy is constantly asking you for money, he is probably not a millionaire.
