While all this looks wonderful - when you research the address for this
company that is legitimate- the phone numbers are spam to Nigeria and other
countries - and no office location at the specified address. Additionally,
the parcel payment thru Western Union should be to the parcel company and not
to an individual. Needless to say - When it looks too good to be true - you
can be sure that it is......... I hope this helps someone down the road.
kimgranny
it might be ok but as soon as they wanted money to be sent I knew it was a
scam. There really needs to be something done about all of this. I get scam
mail alot. There are women that are suppose to be dying and need me to
receive their millions to give to charities and everything else. Now why
would someone from a needy country need to send their fortune to the United
Stated to give to charities? All of this is a shame and the people doing this
should be shamed. kimgranny
