another story that i just remembered:

I met a guy, at the time the boyfriend of a friend of mine. We hanged out a few times, mostly in his place. He lived in a giant house with a big garden around it. His family was italian and most of them lived in italy. He didn't work or anything and lived a very lavish lifestyle, going to fancy restaurants and driving sport cars. His older sister (she was like 30 something) came to Brazil for some vacations and was always trying to find a guy in parties or bars or any social situation, in an almost embarrassing way. Not a guy for a 1 night stand but for a serious relationship. She met a guy in a bar and started dating him. She started to pay him meals, go on trips with him etc that was responsible for draining all her money in about 2 months. He even sold her an apartment (he told her that it was an incredible investment opportunity). The guy disappeared with the money shortly after (around 100k dollars). There was a little bit of drama but soon after she went back to italy.
