I got this from an Australian newspaper Egypt dosn't fool about when con men are found!
AN Egyptian man has been sentenced to 1000 years behind bars after scamming hundreds of people out of about $55m.
The Giza criminal court sentenced Abdullah Kamel Mohammed, 42, for cheating 480 people out of their money over several years.
"He would promise people that he would invest their money for them and bring them good profits, but he would take the money and disappear,'' the source said.
Mohammed was arrested in Cairo in November after a neighbour who had been conned recognised him and called the police.
The official did not say when Mohammed might be eligible for parole.
"Simple is good" & I strongly dislike politics. You cannot defend the indefensible.
