I have to admmit I chuckled at this one whilst I assigned it to the deleted folder - to think that all those poor souls that fell for one of these scams then might go for this! I know I shouldn't laugh, but you have to admire their ba**s and their sheer tenacity - I guess they only need a handful of people to fall for this to turn a nice profit! It is just a shame that there is no real way of stopping this yet, these scams cross so many borders and their origin is so well disguised that no-one knows where they come from. All we can do is keep publicising them.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0
