I was the victim of a real estate scam involving the owner of this company, Watson Financial. Mr. Watson was aware that Ihad recently been diagnosed with a serious illness, becamedisabled, and lost my job. Having no income coming in, I came to him for advice. After learning of a recent inheritence (all the money I would ever have) he suddenly came up with real estate "investment" in Florida that required me to "over-night"him a substantial amount of money. He assured me that my my money would be tripled in a matter of months, or he would return my initial investment. I foolishly trusted him, as I hadknown him for 30 years.
I sent him the money, never having any evidence of the investment... Nor has heprovided any in the four years since. Needless to say, there was no investment, and I recieved no money in return. I have persisted in getting this money from him to no avail. Coming to this site was a last resort. I have done research on quintesential con men, and he fits the bill. Preying on vulnerable people, learning of money they DO have, insisting the money beover-nighted etc. Yes, I was a fool. I was also extremely desperate, and he took full advantage of that. If he can do this to a friend in tremendous despair, whatwouldn't he do for YOUR money?
