So many, in fact, that Leather originally gave the story away for free on his website to try to prevent the scam from being run on others. I personally know three men who fell prey to it! A very interesting read!

That is funny as I know of 2 men who have done this twice
Intentionally they say, and one after reading the book. I can only think of it as some sort of a waving of a red flag. Same with the Russian bride thing. I worked for a rich good looking guy who fell for that one three times that I know of and was totally miserable each time when he figured out he wasn't going to get what he was after, whatever that was.
Still it is a good book.
