Default The scammers are getting desperate

Unfortunately my hotmail email has recently been picked up by the scammers, so I have been receiving scams almost on a daily basis. some of these are more clever than others, but today I looked in my inbox and there was an email from a guy that simply said, "Help Me" and nothing else.

At least they are keeping me entertained.

None of us have used that email in conjunction with any of the research, though.

It's an inside job!

Naturally they are desperate to begin with, which is why they have become scammers in the first place in many cases. Many of these people tried and failed to earn honest money online, or just plain lost the patience for it. As a result they have switched to less than honorable methods to try and earn a quick buck. It’s because of people like this that many potential buyers tend to avoid doing business with anyone who isn’t in their local area . And sites like Craig’s list have become weary against any non local transactions even warning people against buying anything in any other manner aside from face and face transactions which puts legit internet business people in a bit of a bind.
