When a man with a pleasant voice called Nina Gebrian to say she had won a large amount of money in a lottery, the South Florida woman was understandably excited.
But first, he told her to send money to pay fees and taxes before her winnings could be turned over to her.
For most of her 92 years, Gebrian was no pushover. She served as a mechanic in the U.S. Air Force during World War II, keeping B-17 bombers in top-flight condition. Later, she moved to Florida and continued working as a mechanic.
