    Yes but scams are getting more personal now. Shopping online just became the new way to steal money. All the scammer needs is a phone "registered to someone else" a computer "probably obtained in a car park at midnight" and there you go. All the scammer need to do now is find a facilitator with enough loopholes to do a private sale.

    You pay via EFT and you never see the item and getting your money back becomes a problem. Most banks will help you but some banks simply cannot care.

    There is this other one with this email address: mrs.alicefelixangee@yahoo.fr

    This lady/man will tell you how her husband who was to be elected to be presedent of some country in africa passed away before being elected. Her husband had about 4 million dollars if im not mistaken and gold dust looked in some account. Now she needs your help to retreive that money and gold dust then she will give you 10% of what is found.

    My question is: it was her husband she can retrieve this things on her own.

    Sorry I am not using a pc I was going to copy and paste the email for you.
