One final thought on this one. Take a close look at the names. Scammers often make up names using two first names, hoping that the names pass for English ones. Guess what...they don't. Perry John? Tracy Barbara? Really? These idiots make this almost too easy to spot. More to come soon!
If this post helped you or prevented a scammer from gaining another victim, let me know! I'd love to hear your comments.
