    This is so common in Vegas and elsewhere in the mainland here. People will go as low as using dead relatives of kids or other people deceased and ask for donation for funerals. People will do anything for money. Be smart. Even if this was real that is worth 10k, did you know it could be stolen and if you pawn it. Provided your ID. Once it's tracked. You are responsible to deal with a world of headaches with the law. Good luck with telling them you met Casper who gave you that chain cause the person dissapeared already with your money.

    If they were so greedy to get cheap jewelry there wouldn't be as much victims.

    What kind of morons fall for these scams? I don’t give money away to strangers. They could be asking for a dollar to catch the bus, but all they want is you to get out your wallet so they can steal it.
