Theres always someone stupid enough to fail for it..... or greedy enough not to see the scam

I think by now any one falling for these types of scams should treat the loss of money as a fine for being stupid or greedy.

How many times have we seen victims on WatchDog and the news. Yet people still get caught.

Mind you how many of us still get scammed by the inland revenue just to give it out as Bankers pensions, and do nothing.

Here's a story about 22,000 numbnuts who fell for a similar scam.

People tend to think this is some kind of ID theft or bank detail theft type scam, whereas generally it works as an advance fee fraud, in other words they will say something along the lines of "we need £10k to pay accountant fees before they will release the £10.9million"

Its not the thick people you have to worry about,.... its the old people who out of pride cannot admit that these are not real people and pay up... each and every time.... its a big problem.......

Almost as bad as those "cute and cuddly" animals that need money on the back of magazines etc.,.. I know some old people who pay out EVERY time they see an advert like that... put themselves into a LOT of debt for the pleasure as well!

Stuff like that really annoys me, banging on about how they like honesty, love and truth! They deserve their parents getting assasinated!
