Yeah.
My older sister (who shall be referred to as OS and doesn't have the common sense God gave a baked potato) met this guy online. He asks her if she wants to move to Arizona and live with him and she says yes. So for the past month or two she's been getting ready to move--selling her car, giving notice at her job, getting rid of her winter clothes, etc. All the while everyone else has a feeling that something's not quite right, especially when our younger sister (YS) looks up the address Mr. Arizona gave as his home address and discovers it's a bar. Then Mr. Arizona was supposed to fly out and meet the folks...and never shows up because he was in a car accident in Nigeria. Wait, doesn't he live in Arizona? Whatever. He asks OS to send him some money to help pay the doctor. AND SHE DOES!! She sent him $100!!!!! Our mother found the money order and hit the roof. So now OS is out of the money, her car, her winter clothes, and possibly her job.
The kicker? This isn't the first time she's fallen for something like this. At least the last time the guy was just stringing her along for the hell of it.
Yes, my sister is an idiot.
