RE: Scam
if it sounds too good to be true then it is. Remember these people play on your vunerabilities. Greed being number one. We are all guilty of it.
thre are many scams being run out of the former Soviet Union as well as well we have our own home grown varieties. Not sure if you have adept of consumer affirs in the states but here in Oz we do and you can check up on this sort of thing before you hand over your hard earned readies.
