McMillions Scam

Throughout the 1990s former police officer Jerome P. Jacobson went from having a promising career in security to a multi-million dollar scam artist.  All it took was an honest mistake for Jerome to recognize the opportunity and seize it. Recruiting family and friends to also take part in the scam, Jerome pulled off a years-long scam during which he accumulated $24 million and earned a prison sentence.  

 

Twins?

Did you know that women can get pregnant by multiple men at the same time? As if unprotected sex doesn’t have enough consequences, here’s another one that is equally terrifying for men and women.

 

A lady in New Jersey was suing the man she thought was the father of her twins for child support. The court ordered a paternity test. When the results came back, science said that he was the father… of ONE! Turns out, it’s very rare but one egg can be fertilized while the woman in question is still ovulating, leaving the opportunity open for another egg to be fertilized by another man’s “fertilizer”.  Oh, to be a fly on the wall in THAT courtroom!!

 

Now she’s on the lookout for the father of the other baby.
