Is It Rude To Laugh At My Aunt Who Lost $2,000.00 In The Nigerian Email Scam?

Ok my aunt was conned out of $2,000.00 on Yahoo! Mail through one of those notorious Nigerian Email Scams. The only way she even stopped sending money was when the police showed up to her house on suspicions of check fraud.





I wanted to know if it's rude to openly laugh at this story about with my siblings if my mom doesn't bring it up?





My Aunt is a married woman with 4 grown children. How she got caught up in this scam is beyond me.

F---- Nigeria. Let them scam there own people. It is not rude to laugh at your Aunt as long as she learned her lesson. Hope this helps.

The aunt feels terrible. Maybe that was the $2000 she was going to leave to you when she passes. Won't you feel like an a**.





Just remember "Karma." What goes around, comes around. If you laugh at her, there will be someone to laugh at you. Remember, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree. You share her genes.
Reply:I think it would be rude. She honestly thought she was sending money for a legitimate cause, so I'm sure she feels pretty embarrassed. I think she would probably feel even worse if you laughed at her for an honest mistake. How would you feel if someone laughed at you for making the mistake she did?
Reply:No, I would feel said for her stupidity. I would instead ask her to put a stop payment on the check or put a dispute on the credit card and see if there is some way to get her money back.
Reply:I think that your aunt feels badly enough without her own family rudely laughing at her. Try to imagine how you would feel.
Reply:It's rude if she's an old lady, but if she isn't retired yet she's fair game.
Reply:How would you feel if You lost $2,000.00 ???





Put yourself in her shoes.





It's not funny!!!

Reply:nope not too rude but don't burst out laughing just kinda smile and say like "hmph"
Reply:if this happened to you and your aunt asked the same question, how would you feel?
