This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I agreed to a charge of 4. 95 which they charge but also charged to my bank account $49. 95 which were charged after i phoned to cancel the account. I had ten days to cancel which i did after three days. Still my bak has not been able to cancel the charge.

I was asked to pay for the delivery 230 pounds, which I did and again I was asked to pay for the Airport custom Tax which I could not pay becauese I can not get that amount. Yet they are still write an email to concerning the payment which I can meet at all. They said the government would confiscate the parcel if I failed to meet their need. My quetions to you are these if it the prize that I won why should I ask to pay money again? why didn't they subtruct their money from the the prize? I have other quetions I WOULD TO ASK BUT i THINK I need you to help finding other ways to help me as you can see. I have no money to pay for the Tax unless I receive the prize sincerely and frankly speaking

Every day I receive several bogus emails and I goggle them and find out that yes in deed they are just as I suspected. One big scam just trying to get my money. I just wish there was a DO NOT EMAIL REGISTRY. You already have to contend with the generic drug, low cost insurance, and best rate vacation emails, but the scam emails are too much. The winning lotteries(always in the UK), inheritance from people whose names are being withheld or are from Nigeria(I've never been there and know no one there), and people who for some reason decide to leave me all their money. I would love to be able to open my email and just read the email from my family and friends without having to waste the time to delete all the scam emails. Thanks for letting me vent!

Well I almost fell for it! All in all the average person really doesn't really look at the technical jargon or how the email has been written, that these scams can fool you with. The average person see's the dollar sign and thinks WOO-HOOO!

Most time those who fall for these scams are those who are struggling!
