yeah. most of the scams are in nigera. One guy was caught i recall having made 1.7 million... How the hell can you make that much money scamming folks? there must be a lot of stoops in the world
too many scams around yeah magazines used to have those flyers with simiular things all the time with those 'win a holiday scratch here and then ring the hotline at £5 per min for 3 mins and win something worth £5'
My mum fell for a trick on holiday. She was told she had won a digital camera but she had to send off for it....all she had to do was pay the £6 P&P... it came with a few 1st stamp stamps on it and it was a VGA camera. Like a throwaway cam but instead you usb'd it across to pc. It wasn't even 1 megapixel. Prob worth £1
