SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the unfortunate case of Professor Paul Frampton, who became embroiled in a drug smuggling incident after being deceived by a model, Denise Milani, whom he had never met. Participants express disbelief at Frampton's gullibility, noting his failure to verify the model's identity before agreeing to transport a suspicious suitcase. The conversation also touches on broader themes of obsession, common sense, and the implications of plastic surgery, with some users criticizing superficial judgments about individuals based on their appearance. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the intersection of intelligence and common sense, suggesting that expertise in one area does not guarantee sound judgment in others.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of internet scams and catfishing
  • Familiarity with the implications of drug trafficking laws
  • Knowledge of psychological factors influencing decision-making
  • Awareness of societal perceptions regarding plastic surgery
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the psychological profile of individuals susceptible to catfishing
  • Study the legal consequences of drug trafficking in various jurisdictions
  • Explore the societal impacts of plastic surgery on self-esteem and identity
  • Investigate the role of social media in perpetuating scams and misinformation
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for psychologists, law enforcement professionals, individuals interested in social media dynamics, and anyone studying the effects of obsession and gullibility in human behavior.

Sad story.
 
I would call the guy a moron but that would unfair to morons. The arrogant fool is lucky the cops busted him because the drug dealers would not have been so nice.
 
I don't know what to make of this story. It seems he was obsessed with this model in the same way he was with his physics. He can't stop computing outcomes of everything and he seemed to know something wasn't right with the luggage and took it anyway. It seems he reverts to child mode when caught.
 
Imbecile.
 
If this is true, I want to see how hot she is. I'm really intrigued now.

google image denise milani.

She never talked to him, doesn't know who he is. It's another internet catfish story impersonation that went really wrong.
 
Yeah I googled it. If I were him, I would have found it hard not to obey every single one of her commands. She is all kinds of beautiful...ALL kinds. Woooooow
 
She's happily married and living with her husband and son. That guy is a freekin idiot. He never tried to verify the identity of the person he was e-mailing, and never talked to the person.

Yet he was willing to fly to South America and transport an "empty" suitcase, even after a friend of his warned him that drugs were likely hidden in it.

How dumb can a person get?

Aww...well there go my chances. Let's move on to the next model!

Wow. What a gullible fool.

@WannabeNewton: Her boobs are fake and her personality is probably just as fake. That puts me off so I'm personally not interested in her.

You decide that her personality is fake based on a picture?

Did you see her? I mean it's hard to say no :wink:

I live in Argentina since 2006, what happened to this guy is a nightmare.
Recently there's been a model (I guess "narcomodelo" would show her in google) involved in a cocaine mule crime. If I remember well it was her boyfriend who passed the drug while she was fully aware. She's free.

Even if he suspected something wasn't right? Still not smart.

And yes, what happened to him is a nightmare. I hope he learns to be more cautious after this.

Why disparage the model she had nothing to do with it? Someone used her name, fame and image to commit a crime. She too is a victim in this sad story.

Im not sure if this is more sad or just suprising.

No.

I assumed that her personality is probably fake because of the fake boobs. This has nothing to do with Denise Milani personally. I just think that anyone that does plastic surgery and gets breast implants probably has a shallow personality.

I was just giving my opinion of her because how contrasting it was to WannabeNewton's opinion.
The reason why I assume the above has to do with the typical motivations for getting a breast implant.

Nevertheless it is wrong to think this way. She is not part of this discussion so let's not continue talking about her. The discussion is on the article about Prof Frampton, what he did and the trouble he got into. It seems that to be a genius in one area means that you lack commonsense in other areas.

WannabeNewton posted four times about how attractive she is. Why should I not be able to post once about why I disagree?

So everybody who had plastic surgery has a shallow personality?? I think it is very sad that people hold opinions like this.

Firstly, I didn't say anyone that had plastic surgery has a shallow personality. I said that anyone that had plastic surgery and got breast implants probably has a fake personality.

Why is it wrong/sad for someone to hold an opinion like this? Because I'm making an assumption or preemptive judgement?

What motivation can there be to get breast implants other than for shallow reasons?

Stop with the discussion on the model now or the thread will be LOCKED.

There could be very good reasons, but you'll only know them if you talk to the people. Maybe people get a breast augmentation to stop bullies?? Such things do happen. Or maybe the girls have a very low self-esteem and try to make themselves feel happier?? Are those shallow reasons?

This is why I emphasize probably. There could be non-shallow reasons for breast augmentation which is why I don't make a definite judgement.

Also, if you're curious about my stance on racial profiling, I think it is immoral. Why? Because race is something that you have no control of. Your actions, however, you have control over. You are aware of possible consequences before performing the action and that it might affect the way others perceive you. For example: I am not OK with women having a disadvantage in getting some positions related to STEM. However, for example, I am OK with someone that might have tattooed his face having a possible disadvantage at getting a position for being too unprofessional.

I take two things away from this thread.

1)Book smarts and common sense may not intersect.

2)My wife is probably shallow =(.

Don't take it personally. It's just a general rule of thumb that I use for people that I do not know.

Evo can you please lock the thread now I think it has run its course?
