ABC TV did a show on these guys that work out of a cyber space internet coffee shop. They maile them a package and followed it to South America. The guy picked it up with several ABC TV stickers on the package and took it back to the coffee shop. He got busted and most ran as fast as they could out windows. Mark it as spam and move on.
 
I love these guys. It is like all those people who email you saying that they have a client interested in something your selling, they will send you a "certified" check for your item along with an extra $3000 for freight. They want you to deposit the check and send the $3000 to the shipping company. Gosh I don't see a problem with that.LOL
