    And possibly you might feel like reporting these apparently blatant scammers to the police, both in London and Stockholm, in order to perhaps save some unwitting victims. Losing large amounts of money in this way can severely disrupt some people's lives and can also be very traumatic for some people. Also some of these of scammers are also kidnappers, extortionists, torturers and murderers and there are several hundreds of cases of people disappearing and being murdered publicised on numerous websites and occasionally in newspapers, often via scams like this. If you think I might be exaggerating or scaremongering then do a bit of googling and look at some government and police websites that warn about the dangers. Ok, nuff sed.
    If you're going to live up to your name, can you please advise where you're mostlycheerful .... because it's not here is it.
