1. It’s £140,000.

2. She’s just thick then

3. There’s always a line in these articles from the family talking about how clued in their family member is, how they aren’t naive. Had to brave the ads on the star and yep, family said the exact same in this article. 

   Your ma sent £140k to the guitar player from Deep Purple, how can you sit and tell a reporter that they’re clued in to scams? lol 

4. Life comes with a built in stupidity tax unfortunately 

5. Stores need to do a “wellness” check on somebody buying excessive gift cards in a single transaction like many of the us pharmacies do now especially if they’re on the phone whilst buying them.

6. I doubt he is poor either.

7. Just shows how dumb people are falling for shit like this
