A 22 year old unemployed southern Ontario man says he now owes his friends and family $150,000 after international email scam artists bilked him of the funds by convincing him he was about to inherit a fortune. The man lives with his Mennonite parents in a simple wartime home in Leamington, 50 km southeast of Windsor.
