Almost dying to lay foundations for a scam is a serious level of dedication that we've never devoted to anything. 

When this scammer was brought back from the brink by a nurse he was so grateful that he decided to pull a scam on the nurse and her husband. But he didn't know who he was messing with, this husband was going to chase him to the ends of the earth and expose him for his dastardly ways.

This thread was posted to r/ProRevenge by the husband who exacted the revenge on this nearly-almost-dead scammer. He posted the story with the title "[Long AF] I was unemployed, this guy scammed me. Revenge is still pouring on him." This is a long tale indeed but worth the read for those with a long enough attention span. 

Ol' Benny Lowy had his name besmirched and ran through the mud and he deserved every bit of it.

Scroll on for the full story below.

    Font - Posted by u/amenadiel 2 days ago 2 2 3 3 [Long AF] I was unemployed, this guy scammed me. Revenge is still pouring on him. First and foremost: this didn't happen in the US. Some events might be pursuable up there but down here, it was mostly no man's land regarding the kind of scams I fell for. For the sake of this story, here in no man's land we use the top level domain NML. My wife is a nurse. Back then, in the early 2000, she worked in an ICU of a relatively exclusive - and therefore e

    Font - One day my wife calls me and tells me about this gentleman in his late 50s that had been in the verge of passing away, and after that close call he was so grateful and stuff. We'll call him Benny Lowy. This gentleman happened to work in electronic imports, which gave him access to incredibly convenient deals. Long story short, he was so grateful he could sell us an LCD TV, a store demo unit that had been used just once and we'd need to pay like 1/4 of its retail price, as long as we kept

    Font - Christmas was approaching, she asked Benny - who had been already discharged and back home- for advise regarding the present she wanted to give me. A phone. He hooked her up with the best she could think of. Now, I can't remember the exact model but it was a the Sony Ericsson flagship and it wasn't yet offered by local carriers. He had access to it because of his status as local representative for said brand. She went with it. Paid.

    Font - The job position I've said my employer was shutting down, so just for the sake of it, she asked Benny if he knew of someone needing an IT guy. "Of course" he said. "I'll meet your husband at this place tomorrow, etc". And there I was, in a gas station, uptown, he pulled over in a luxury car. Mr Lowy was a normal looking guy, used a cane and had a noticeable knee or hip pain. We sat down in the gast station coffee shop, and he told me about a mid management position, reporting to him, in a

    Font - In the next days we had a few phone calls, stuff looked promising, I had been already laid off. We agreed he'd pick me up on Dec 24th and he's introduce me to senior managers as the reccomended helpdesk junior manager. I woke up extra early, put on my best suit. Waited in the front yard. Hours went by. I had planned to be back before noon to arrange stuff for that night's dinner, bc my parents were coming over. After calling him repeatedly, he told me he had been assaulted and robbed. "Th

    Font - He called me to reschedule our interview. Dec 31th. Again, picture me in my best suit outside my house on a summer morning. Of course he didn't show up. When I finally reach him, he tells me that, when his car had been stolen last week, they took his wallet too, which these thugs eventually dropped during another robbery, so now he had been detained as a suspect for that. He hadn't been able to pick the imported electronics on the customs office so they had them moved to another custody u

    Font - The next call was like a week later. He told me that, because he was being involved in a police investigation, this mining company had fired him. But this was actually good, because now I was going to be interviewed to take his position, as IT manager. This meant double my former paycheck, and securing a position that would be a leap forward in my career, so I don't ask many questions, I was just grateful. All those delays in the end would pay off. This situation, as you have already figu

    Font - Cue in: the detective Time went by. Eventually, my wife overhears from a coworker about this patient, in another hospital she was working at (some nurses do work part-time at other hostpitals). She had fell for it too, but her husband was a detective, so a few hours later we were filling him in the details of the scam we fell for. Asking around, he found a third nurse scammed by this guy. Soon enough, he was detained (this time for real) and admitted to have been scamming people due to an

    Font - So I made a blog I couldn't go for any further legal action, but there wasn't a non disclosure agreement whatsoever. And I thought: "what could prevent other people falling into this scammer's lies?". Well, perhaps some google results? So I created a blog, on wordpress.com. Think something like BennyLowyTheScammer.wordpress.com. It was a single post in third person telling my story. In the following days, that post's comments had a dozen stories much like mine. I made them into posts. A f

    Font - In my country, you can review updates regarding court ongoing cases (except for felonies, that are non public). Searching for his national ID (which I had known thanks to ours settlement) as the sued party, I could just find an eviction action due to failing to pay his condo's lease. But looking for him as the suing part, I found out he had sued www.wordpress.nml (our local fictionary domain) which was registered by a local guy in Godaddy.com. Following up with the case, this guy had spen

    Font - I was tempted then and there to set a post on this blog saying: "If I wanted to, you have nothing on me". However, I have never attempted to let him know who's doing this. I just log in to this blog once in a while. (today was the first one in years) and keep finding, in the comments, more scammed people. All of them in a vulnerable moment of their life. Unemployed guys, small startups looking for an angel investor, small branch salespeople pursuing a promising commision. Those who have,

I guess this guy had already deceived too many people and the old man just didn't gave a Fk anymore. But that wasn't the way he presented himself. 108 Reply Share •..

He bought us a big screen TV, bought my 14 year old self a debit card he was going to put $50 in every fortnight, had a bunch of get rich schemes he was trying to get my dad into.
