This scam has been going for 20 years or more.  I heard about it from somebody else when heading to Malaysia and I think it was even mentioned in Lonely Planet.  I got invited to somebody's house to play cards when in KL and was absolutely sure I was getting set up for the scam, but wanted to go along just for the experience.  I got a free lunch and met the family but maimtained throughout that I was terrible at cards and would let them down.

Wow indeed, bit sad but also so many parts unclear and dodgy suppose its his own fault. Still sad to see he lost all his retirement money

I just don't understand how this could happen to someone?
