I've just been asked to research the Cardinal Trust Foundation to check if it is yet another 419 scam. And indeed it would seem to be.

But in doing the research I checked Google's cache of their website (as the website is no longer available) - They were running Google Adsense! That should make the culprits a little more traceable, I'd think.

The other interesting thing about this particular approach is it all started by SMS spam over cellphone rather than the usual email spam approach.
