New mining methods

Although the lottery e-mails are by far the most popular under the scammers, they are trying new methods to try and catch people unawares.

Just last week, one of our readers from the Faroe Islands, told us about an international matchmaker website. There are people from all over the world trying to find partners for marriage. There are also a lot of girls from Nigeria to be found there. I got the impression that of the girls to be found there, many could have been models or beauty queens. The majority were very pretty and had very interesting profiles, such as students, business women, etc.

Anyway, he reported that he got into communicating with one lady, who started telling him the story about a pile of money that she wanted to get out of the country and needed a nice person like him to help her. It was a sum of about 12 million USD and he could have 30% of it (what a coincidence?), if he helped her.

I had a look at the website, but the lady in question had already been removed.

Stay tuned for other new methods which are turning up.
