The reason RipOff Report exists. to inform consumers

Denny, James' post is the reason why RipOff Report exists in the first place, to inform consumers. So what if the Nigerian 419 scam is one of the oldest in the books? What if nobody posted about it anymore? So you know the scam exists. Millions of people do. Many millions more do not. I can't stand it when someone rips an OP for posting a rip off report. It defeats the purpose of this website. Go back to your eBay store if you have nothing constructive to add.

Why are you posting the entire 419 scam here?

this is another typical Nigerian Fraud scam. Why post it here? people should already know about this well known and for many years running scam. If they get duped into this, its their own fault.
