Granted i can get emotional about certain things.
There was an elderly man in California who was the victim of such a cruel scam.
A man stole his dog, his beloved companion since his wife died, and demanded 10,000 for her safe return. This jerk told him where to put the $$ and told him his dog was tied up near by, whining and crying for him. By no means does this man look like he is 'well to do' but he withdrew the 10,000 from the bank and brought it where he was told to (the man was there with a knife) only to find that his dog wasn't even there. He gave up at that point and went home broken hearted. To his surprise his dog was at his house.

This man is now working with the police to try and find this jerk.

It amazes me how cruel some people can be. To take advantage of the elderly in my opinion is so despicable.

my belief is what goes around comes around that a-s-s will get his.

I totally agree, this poor old guy probably took his nest egg or part of it. He's a little slow walking around due to age. And i can just picture him searching for his dog through the wooded area the theif told him to look only to find she wasn't there.

Some people have no morals or Consentience (sp} ?What so ever, what a low life to do something like that to another person..

I remember a few years back some bone head was doing that, the moron left his telephone # on peoples anwsering maching he was trying to extort money from and got busted.
