Trust these guys. They are from Coke. The biggest evil empire on earth.

Actually forget that. It'd be safer with any old Nigerian.

You guys are losers.

I was offered US$7.5m the other day. I am going to be living high on the hog with my millions and the Russian lovelies who are on their way. I am so lucky to meet such nice young ladies and all I had to do was answer some emails.

They will be sooo lucky when I greet them with my penis 12" longer (I answered three emails for that one) and my bag full of premium quality, cut price Viagra.

I love the Internet! Life is good!

...Oh won't somebody PULEEEZ think of the real victioms here.....

Online scammers target dog loversMICHELLE RIDLEY, The West Australian May 18, 2011, 11:00 am
Dog lovers are the latest victims of online scammers, with at least $9000 being lost to cyber criminals in western Africa.

Nine people have lost between $350 and $1800 after attempting to buy a a puppy online, the Department of Consumer Protection said.

The buyers had all sent money in response to advertisements on classified websites in the past two months.

Almost $9000 has been traced to cyber criminals in Cameroon.

Consumer Protection commissioner Anne Driscoll said people buying puppies were especially vulnerable because they had an emotional investment in the pet.

"The financial loss suffered by puppy scam victims can be substantial, but many are also upset and disappointed when the pet they fell in love with on the internet doesn't arrive," she said.

"After the initial purchase price for the puppy is sent, usually by wire transfer, the scammers then demand extra payments for transport and delivery or insurance, giving a variety of excuses for the extra charges.

"The purchaser is virtually being held to ransom and the heartless scammers are preying on the buyer's emotional attachment to the puppy and their excitement about its imminent arrival."

Ms Driscoll advised consumers to be cautious when buying puppies unseen from strangers, especially if the seller requested money sent by wire.

"If you have any suspicions, don't go ahead with the deal and don't reveal any personal information," she said.

The Canine Association of WA website www.dogswest.com has a list of registered breeders.
