My parent's best friend from college married a guy that did that, got a few grand out of my parents, which at the time hurt but wasn't too bad, but he ripped off a few people for their entire life savings. I remember I was maybe 7 he took us to his nice ass beach house and had a bunch of sports cars, can't remember what, but then got busted and has been in prison atleast the last 10 years.

See I told you guys it couldn't be legit.
