Tricked!: The story of an internet scam

A distinguished professor of physics has been divorced for several years and seeks a suitable companion using an internet dating service. For eleven weeks he is certain that he is communicating with an attractive model when he is actually being manipulated by a gang of drug-smuggling criminals. After drugs are found concealed in a suitcase, he is detained in Argentina among eighty dangerous drug-smuggling suspects inside the notorious Villa Devoto high-security prison. He is wrongly convicted in the corrupt third-world criminal justice system. Meanwhile back in the USA, without awaiting his return to defend himself, administrators and peers at the University of North Carolina discharge him from his tenured job based only on a flimsy Argentina prosecution presentation. The UNC senior administration decides, for some reason, to suppress all the several defense arguments which strongly prove his innocence. This true and amazing story provides an important lesson and is essential reading for everybody who uses the internet.
