Today, our cleaning lady's son came to our house claiming that his mother had died of a heart attack. We gave him her entire month's salary as well as some extra money. A few hours later, our cleaning lady turned up for work. Turns out she doesn't have a son. FML

You probably should have verified his identity (and her death) first. Live and learn.

I wouldn't have donated money, it's not what she would have wanted had she really passed away, a box of lemon pledge would have shown how much you care!!

Looks like instead of the nigerian 419 scam, this guy's dealing with the 409 scam.

Reporting him to stop him duping more people is important. Also, learning from this experience is too. I can understand that you didn't want to seem harsh to someone who'd lost his mother - hence the choice of his con - but next time, tell whoever it is that you need to go through official channels and stuff to give you time to check the story without seeming insensitive.

Going to click YDI for this because you should have checked who he was first if you never knew for sure. Other than that, that sucks OP.
