SCAMS

[JeffH]

The amount of internet scams seems to be increasing lately. Facebook groups seem popular for the scammers to target. Warning sign is brand new member, first post that seems to have little relevance to the purpose of the group.

If you haven't seen it go get a copy of this booklet, very informative;
The Little Black Book of Scams

The old saying "if it looks to good to be true....................." still is worth bearing in mind.

Not as bad as Stampboards, full of freebie vaccuums, nearly always from India, Ukraine and Bangladesh. One Pakistanian sent us begging emails and threatened us with infitada or something.

Do you remember those emails you got from people saying they got a stamp and loved it and wanted some free stamps from your country as they ran an orphanage in either Sri Lanka, Burkina Faso or Ukraine and wanted to show the kids the world through stamps.
