If only I could stop finding good bargains on this site, I would save a fortune! :rotfl:

It's a complete scam! We get these sites on here regularly.
Take a look at the site again, it's just a one page site that is made to look like a "news" site.
The top menu doesn't work, you can't "sign in", "Sign up" etc.
The main menu option all take you to a scam web site, as do all the other links on the page.
Do a google search, you'll find Kelly Richards lives in every city in the world, earns 1,000's of what ever the local currency is per day, and is featured on every scam news site on the internet.
Sometimes I wonder "Why do the scammers all have just enough sense to change the name of the news site, the location and currency, but not enough to change the name"?0 -

Thanks Geordie Joe - sometimes it takes a more accustomed eye to pinpoint these things (that all seem obvious now!). Always hopeful there is a quick fix but as is said....it seems too good to be true!

No problem. Just remember (you and anyone else reading this), whenever you see a "news" type site always checkout the links to other parts of the site.0
