and extra of that i have original licenze that proof this things but i can't attach it
why can't the internet sites or web hosts help trap the SOB's before they get money from desperate people in need of money, even if a long shot. in todays age of electronics and security it makes me wonder who is really in charge of the scams. i have had scams with names like Shell Oil, FBI USA, UK lottery etc etc etc, and award certificates, photocopies of cheques etc etc, there has to be a way to get these people who freely fleese the poor people of the world. this is nothing more than organized crime that appears to be left alone. i have contacted many with information, but it seems no law office is interested in getting envolved
