I no longer do indepth security inspections. Now this is more of a hobby I do in my spare time.

An excellent write up that not only took screen captures of 2 of the scammers but explains the process of the scam.

Thank you Emsisoft for educating everyone on how these scams work. This is especially valuable for the vulnerable.
