By putting most of the content in a word document, the scammer thinks they are making it harder for sites such as this to detail the scam.

A search here on the batch number shows how many times this script has been used.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
