This story is sad but has a happy ending.

Most of us would say it would never happen to me. Take it from me, I was once conned out of $3k by a team of hustlers. They were so good they should have been actors! If you think this could not happen to you then you ARE vulnerable.

    don't know if i'd call the ending happy, but hopefully justice will be done.

    Well, I wouldn't have given 75 ounces of gold to somebody I didn't know and let them walk off. My doctor has seen me naked but I still wouldn't let him do it either!

    But how many of us have mail out a check (or money order) for over $1000 for a coin we have anly seen a picture of??
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    He sounded foolish to let the man walk away.

    Perhaps a better question given the circumstances, would you let your proctologist?

    I always let somebody else go first.

    OK OK. My doctor has never seen me naked. But he has seen me with my pants down around my ankles bent over his table. And he stuck his finger...............

    I don't know DesertLizard but I can only say that he/she speak for him/her self on this point; this would never happen to me and I am not vulnerable to it because I'm not an idiot.

    Well said, Tom!

    I mean would you REALLY let somebody walk out of your sight carrying $30,000 of yours?
