It's amazing how many of these scams are out there.
It would be interesting to see how many people actually fall for it.
I personally have a few family members that if they had the internet would be caught out quick smart... :hit:
Thank god they dont.
It's funny how keen they are to contact you, until you inform them the police have been contacted

A lot of the time they are actually trying to suss out if the sale is real.... so even responding to these emails are dangerous...
if they work out the email is active, its step one to them stealing your ID...... and then tracking you around it.
I've seen a few idiots who had their facebook details not set to private, tracked their facebook details off their email.... next thing they know they had someone copy their facebook on a different email, use it to add their friends and try and scam them.
I wondered who would ever let this happen to them and then it happened to my aunt. Bloody prick saved all her photos and stuff off her facebook that she didnt know how to set to private 6 months ago... and every few months I get a request to add from her with the old pictures.... that arent her.
