how... just HOW can a sane person fall into this trap ?
Is so absurd.

i have read this in papers in different countries. Is it possible that they hypnotise or something?

By the way, in one incident, i read that the 'sorcerer' actually was giving out double the money to his initial clients. When the amount wasn't so high i.e., for 1000 he gave 2000 and so on. With this he managed to lure a lot of customers and escaped with a lot of money. No hyponis in this one though :0
