Vampire fraudsters take bite of Sicilian's savings
Vampire fraudsters take bite of Sicilian's savings

PALERMO, Italy (Reuters) - An Italian couple stole 50,000 euros (34,700 pounds) from a woman in the Sicilian city of Palermo after convincing her they were vampires who would impregnate her with the son of the Anti-Christ if she did not pay them.

The man, a cabaret singer, and his girlfriend took the money from their victim over four years by selling her pills at 3,000 euros each that they said would abort the Anti-Christ's son.

Police uncovered the fraud after the 47-year-old woman's family became concerned when they discovered she had spent all her savings, local news agencies AGI and ANSA reported.

1. Not all the stupid people live in the US!
Scams exist all over the world, and there seems to always be a succer to fall for them. Glad the Italian authorities caught them!
