Hmm, makes a change from the moron who was advertising non-existant m/cs and cars last month.
 If the phone doesn't ring, it will be a moron's ad. Apologies to Jimmy Buffet.

Unfortunately, we have no way of verifying the accuracy of ads posted. Instead of posting here an email to support would be far more helpful.

I honestly do not understand these scams. I don't know how someone smart enough to use a computer could fall for something like that and this is only the first stage of the scam. I have actually replied to one of these years ago to see where it would end up and what they would ask me for but it came to a dead end quickly and they didn't respond to me.

The problem with 419 Scams and their continued existence is that people DO reply AND lose a lot of money.
So if the scammer sends out 1 million emails and gets a couple mugs to part with 10000 USD each he will continue. Not bad for a few minutes work. |
