My Gullible MIL

Having just read the post about dangerous animals by Kandase made me think about an event that has happened not once but four times to my Egyptian MIL, now she lives in a rural area of Egypt and her biggest fear is snakes,so this man knocks at her door carrying a sack, he then ells her that she has an Egyptian Cobra in her house and that he will remove it for her, for a fee, of course no questions asked she accepts , rushes out of her house and in he goes with hs sack, a short time later he comes out and from the sack produces the Cobra to show her ,she pays him 200 Egyptian pounds and is very grateful to him , anyway since then this man reappears almost yearly with the same sack and each time saves her from a snake, now no amount of telling her or her daughter that he has the snake with him when he goes in the house will persuade them that there is no Cobra in there before he enters the house , and that the man has conned them. My question is have you been conned and if so would you fall for the same con, more than once. Btw I dearly love my MIL.
