I was thinking about making a thread so that everyone can post about various Internet scams...

Perhaps someone can make this a sticky...

Don't spend any money on streaming sites as they do not provide any sort of service that you cannot get anywhere else for free if they provide you with any service at all...

If you want to watch free sports streams,..go to www.myp2p.eu...

There are hundreds of competitors, close direct contacts between suppliers and customers and other difficulties, which impede our sales promotion.We have decided to deliver the products upfront, it's veryrisky but it should push up sales on 25 percent. Thus we need to get payments for our products as soon as it's possible. Unfortunately we are unable to open Bank Accounts in the United State (US) without first registering the company name and preparing logistics for warehousing and integrated shipment. Presently with the amount of Orders we have, we cannotput them on hold. For fear of losing the customers out rightly. Secondly we cannot cash these payments from the US soon enough, as international Checks take about 14 working days for cash to be made available. We lose about 75,000 USD of net income each month because we have money transfer delays *Your task is to coordinate payments from customers and help us with thepayment process.You are not involved in any sales. Once orders are received and sorted wedeliver the product to a customer (usually through FEDEX Or UPS).About 90 percent of our customers prefer to pay through Certified CashiersChecks and Money orders based on the amount involved. Your Task We have decided to open this new job position for solving this problem.Your tasks are:1. Receive payment from Customers2. Cash Payments at your Bank3.

For example 18 transactions on 3500.00 USD gives you 6300.00 USD Plus your basis monthly salary, which is 1000.00 USD Total:7300.00 USD per month. After establishing a close co-operation with us you'll be able to operate with larger orders and you'll be able to earn more. Our payments will be issued out in your name and you can have them cashed at your bank or other Cashing Services.

This is an example of what happens to someone whose mind becomes fixated on the truth of what these scam letters claim. Once a person switches into that frame of mind it's hard to refocus on reality.
