Thanks to your site I have verified my suspicions on a scam. But what do I do now? Do I ingnore it or report it. And who to?

I contacted NCIS and CID. they just told me to block the email address. Is there nothing that can be done to catch these waste of human life? Yeah it was good to know what do a research it a bit but what about the other people you are less skeptical than I am?

Hello and welcome!

I'm glad the site helped you avoid the scam. Unfortunately these scammers operate in countries far out of the reach of capable law enforcement so prosecution is almost impossible.

The best offense is a good defense through education about Internet fraud. Posting the details here including the scammers name, emails and email address will help others that search avoid the scam as well.
