Farmer Abducted by Aliens!
Just kidding. The farmer was abducted in a internet love scam gone bad. Do any of them go good? Anyway, the Australian farmer flew to West Africa (no scams from there) to meet his future bride, but instead was met by a well dressed man.
Des Gregor said he was met at the airport in Mali by a well-dressed man and had no indication that anything was amiss until he was led into a room where two men with a machete and a homemade pistol began demanding money
Yeah, I guess once I saw the huge knife and a gun, without a female present I would have thought things were going south as well. I am not sure if I would ever travel across the world for love, especially since you cannot count on anything these days. How lonely do you have to be to get sucked into something like this? I read these stories and think to myself, what is up with these people that they cannot see past the real life things?
Oh well, I guess I should just be happy it will never happen to me
