Voice. There is already a thread in the Far East Forum. There are now so many scams we can't list them all.

The_Pharoah. Sadly it doesn't work that way. You can report scams to the Australian authorities but if they do take action by alerting the authorities in the country of origin of the scam, often little or nothing happens. One African country has confirmed income from internet scams now forms a significant part of it's foreign income earnings.

This Osprey Aviation scam is so amateurish that I don't understand why anyone would be sucked it - but no doubt they will. Very amateur internet reference - if one can find it - no address, no phone number, no contact details, no nothing.

It is so obviously an advance fee 419 scam.

Must go. I discovered a long lost relative was killed in an aircraft accident in Africa and I am expecting $43,000,000 in my bank account sometime this week.
