All very interesting but the person you should be telling is the cyber Fraud squad at your local nick .
Down here Fair Trading have a division that deals with these sorts of scams .
From memory the FBI has one as well .
Trevor I think you can report these scammers till you're blue in the face, but they just get shut down and start up two day later with a different IP address. What gets me is, the people who loose money to scammers by paying into bank accounts??? Surely if there's an account, the holder must be traceable.....I guess I'm missing something. Ron

That is why you make it a police matter
Some times you have to follow up a few times to get the bums into gear
From memory again some states allow the Police to confiscate any property or money they have reason to believe was obtained illegally.
Those police are always happy to follow up because they can end up with a nice little earner + the sheriff / minister gets nice bragging rights at election time .
One of the big child porn rings was uncovered because a "buyer" was scamming to pay for the very expensive videos .
