Too Good To Be True? The FBI Can Help
The G-Men and G-Women are coming to the rescue of gullible singles.
LooksTooGoodToBeTrue.com is a cooperative effort with the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center, the postal inspection service, and private firms. You’ve got to read the stories there: one is a duplicate of the scam run on the Maine woman I wrote about earlier. Yet again, the fraud was based in Nigeria.
Another site that’s started to help consumers is sponsored by the Federal Trade Commission: OnGuardOnLine.gov. Just as the Internet works so well to hook up singles with each other, it also works for nefarious purposes, hooking up scammers with victims.
