BC seniors scammed out of 300K by family friend

A B.C. couple is encouraging others to report scams and extortion attempts to police after they were bilked out of nearly $300,000 by someone they thought was a family friend. The man who scammed Judy and Bernie Lehmann was eventually caught, but the couple says it's unlikely they will ever see their money again.

That’s why… the law needs to seize all his assets and use them to return that which he extorted.

Really, you didn't go to the police in the beginning. Sorry, but actions have consequences. That I know from first hand, it's hard to hear, but chalk it up and move on.
