This could be a handy little site for when you get one of those odd emails promising the world etc.

Hi Barry.
Oh yeah !!! I get them all the time. 419 scam (I think it is called) Others offers to buy what you have for sale and send you a money order that is more than the cost of the item. You are asked to simply collect your money, then send the difference back to them. They will later come and pick up their item from you. These scams may seem legitimate, but the money orders are counterfeit. You are responsible for it legally.

You wouldn't believe (or maybe would) the scams coming out of Russia, Ukraine, Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Most people who get scammed are too embarrassed to say anything about it.

I have Traceroute Pro and enjoy using it to bust scammers in my spare time.

Yup, be careful.
Cheers, Dave
