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

From the Mirror

How a Facebook message left me £3,300 in debt and destroyed my children's Christmas - Mirror Online

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

Exactly same scam scenario...Sad that mother of 4 becomes scammer targets...

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.

Well, Mother of 4 Children, you cannot expect her to have university education and if she would be smarter she wouldn't have problems for christmas gifts, anyway hopefully she is a good mother.

Didn't know it took a University Education to have common sense! lol...but I do agree....people see an easy way to make money and they get suckered in.

Sadly, mother or not - you can't be operating like this and expect not to be scammed

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

There are still similar scams online like this one. Usually they say they are looking for people with High Limit Accounts, No 21 Day Holds, High Feedback.......

Actually, only naive and inexperienced people are buying to that. So no point of creating sophisticated schemes, as it will work anyway.
