1367386	2014-02-12 07:54:00	some of the scams are getting clever. a few people have found they won travel prizes. legit tickets, hotel rooms etc. they even got given brand new luggage, which unfortunately had drugs hidden inside. so their prize was actually a setup to be a drug mule.	tweak'e (69)

1367390	2014-02-12 20:25:00	I've had a few float by that were more credible than the Nigerian style, for example the sum 'available' on compliance was more realistic, the english was good and the names were chosen from the mainstream. On the surface they were much more credible, however the simple fact remained: There was no sensible reason to believe it was genuine and anybody half an eyebrow above moron level would ask themselves WHO, HOW, WHERE, WHAT, WHY, and WHAT'S THE CATCH? then flag it. They are not even worth playing for sport............... Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)
