    Repeat after me.....if it looks too good to be true it usually is. Doesn't look right to me.

    Website redirects you to highdecash.com

    highdecash = hide the cash? From the rightful owner?

    Looks like a version of the 419 scams.
    Fiscal drag, that's my problem. Too many people dragging on my fiscals.

    Posted a similar copy a short while ago, smacks of money laundering. Avoid like the plague, in fact dump it now!!! Once they've got you to lose all their cash for them they'll empty your account to boot.

    In other words....please launder our money!

  • When i clicked on the link i got "PLEASE FILLING FORM" brilliant command of the English language. Anything like that would automatically think SCAM! Having said that some of these scams can be difficult to spot :confused:

    At least the Russions have a better class of 419 scam, the greed bit is more subtle. I don't think I would risk, even remotely possibly, crossing the mafia. The odd Nigerian crook is ok.

    They are brighter than the average Mugo therefore would very likely be able to find you. As its quite likely the Russian mafia somewhere involved I would be extremely wary. It is extremely difficult to hide on the internet if you have a bright nerd available. Let us know if you try this, I'm sure we would all be interested.
