Elaborate, yet so stupid | Exactly, they are looking for some1 really stupid who would only see £100 profit but wouldn't see any potential risks which will lead to potential loss of £1000-2000

Sad story but that person should not have access to money - also needs to learn about stealth

Problem is that she just believed what she was told, also she messed up by withdrawing the money out before she got a tracking number.....so she was partially to blame.

there used to be loads of these scams on reed jobsite, the funniest one i got is "we have big warehouse and as you have big selling allowance on ebay we use you then send item from warehouse and then send motorbike courier to get money and then pay you"
i would imagine some people aka students or people looking a job would fall for it though unfortunately

So no point of creating sophisticated schemes, as it will work anyway.
