    It is difficult for the averag ...Anonymous -- 07/04/05

    It is difficult for the average person to find whom it is that they need to complain to when they suspect fraudulent activities are going on. For example, I get these emails regarding lottery wins etc and I find them very offensive as I think of all the older people whom are being ripped off as they are very vunerable. I really wish they could be held accountable for sending misleading info. I think any awareness on internet fraud would be great - people need to be completely aware of what the risks are when they log in.

    this is a scam. you should never have to pay for a transfer. do not deal with these people. if it seems too good to be true, it is.
