Captain Amerikano

[ladislav]

Drama for money aka Captain Amerikano.

This scam consists of faking an emotional emergency situation such as a flood, death, a fire,accident, heart attack, a loss of one's bag with all the valuables, being stranded somewhere, arrest, being evicted, or a relative threatening to become a prostitute. Or there is an accident at work with the person allegedly damaging some equipment and now she is liable and they want to arrest her.

This is accompanied by screams, tears, stomping, howling, etc.

You can remedy the situation now. Just send the money quickly and everything will be semi- OK, at least for now.
Calm down Jovelyn! Captain Amerikano to the rescue. I am sending you money now.

Ha ha ha, st*pid Joe!

These are hard to deal with as they want money now so you cannot check easily. Maybe offer to go there with a Filipino or send some Filipino to help. Usually, they get scared if a Filipino is involved and desist.
