Clearly, the man had thought about this quite a lot, to the point of harbouring the kind of concern that people with less money and thinner mattresses keep hidden under their mattress. His reply was honest and disarming. 'It's like driving' — what he meant was 'being driven in' — a Porsche on pothole-ridden roads. Everywhere I go, I'm admired and resented in equal measure.' I honestly expected him to say that India was no longer a poor country and quote the likes of Surjit Bhalla. His candour impressed me. Being very, very rich in a poor country — poor being not so much in abstract, theological GDP terms, but in its look, smell and feel — has its unique pressures. One would think that it would be more comfortable being super-rich here, like Napoleon hanging out with seven dwarves. But it turns out that it's more like being Beethoven at a jagran.

Illinois widow lost $1 million of her life savings in a pig butchering scam; learn how to recognize similar schemes. Erika DeMask believed that she had at last found love again, but over several months, she was duped out of her entire life savings in a pig butchering scam. These supposedly pig butchering scams are a particular kind of fraud where the con artist gradually wins over the victim's trust, fattening them up, so to speak, before making the ultimate move and taking all of their money. To establish trust, victims are frequently seduced into virtual relationships, as was the case with DeMask. Her husband had died many years ago, and she had just connected with a lovely man on the internet. The woman from Lombard, Illinois, told ABC 7 Eyewitness News that he said that he loved her and also sent her a massive bouquet, and the FBI said afterwards that they were shocked he did that. However, the flowers were just a small part of a bigger scheme to con DeMask into giving up all of her life savings. Also Read: This new photo shows Sasha Obama as the Queen of Street
