What we are and (more importantly) what we're not.
by Wayne » Thu May 19, 2016 5:48 pm
We can do a lot of things, but there are things we're not able to do, despite requests for help in those areas. Let's look at them:
We're not the police. Yes, we have contacts with various agencies, but we can't get your scammer arrested. We can pass their details on as part of investigations, but that's as far as it goes. You're not going to see us on TV kicking down the door to some scammer location.
We're not CSI. If you give us an IP address, we're not going to be able to go on our computers, enter it in and see exactly where the person is. We don't have control of government satellites to point a camera into their house and watch them typing their scam emails. We can tell you what ISP they're using and give you a rough (maybe within 50 miles - 10 if we're lucky) estimate of their location, but that's as far as it goes.
We're not psychiatrists. We can't tell you how to get over your scam in your head or deal with your worries. What we can do is tell you the facts and let you work from them.
We're not psychics, mind readers or miracle workers. If you don't give us information, we can't tell you if it's a scam or not. We can make an educated guess, but if you give us nothing then how can you expect us to give you anything back? Can a car mechanic tell you what's wrong with your car if all you tell him is "there's a rattle"? Can a doctor prescribe you medication based purely on "it hurts"? Of course not. Then why would you expect us to be able to do it?
We're not here to hold your hand and make sure you do all the steps. We can give you all the steps to do, but we can't make sure you do them. We're also not going to argue with you as to why the things we tell you to do are essential. Everything is based off our years of experiences and contact with tens of thousands of victims as well as thousands of scammers. If you don't do them, not our problem and we're not going to help you any further.
We're not your family councilor/marriage councilor. We can't tell you what to tell your spouse if you got caught up in a scam. That's for you to decide.
We're not your buddy. Our forum is to aid you in dealing with your scam, not hanging out shooting the breeze.
We're not hackers. No we can't and won't hack into your scammer's account and delete any messages you sent them. Hacking is illegal, end of discussion.
We're not vigilantes. Everything we do is completely within the law. If it wasn't, then we wouldn't be able to work with law enforcement and show them our methods when they come to us.
We're not "scamming the scammers". We hate that phrase, and would gladly watch it die out. We "research the scammers", "report on the scammers", "warn people about the scammers", and even occasionally "bait the scammers". We do not "scam the scammers".
We're not for sale. No, you can't employ us to work on your site. No, we're not going to take every single scammer that contacted your company and do research on them to tell you if they're a scammer or not.
We're not here 24/7. We all do this on a purely voluntary basis. We all have real lives to attend to. We work, have families, need to sleep, eat and shop. If we're not here, there's plenty of information to be found by looking around the site.
We're not here to put up with your abuse. If you got scammed, it's not our fault. Don't try to take it out on us. You WILL be kicked off the site.
What we are is a site that tries to gather as much information on scammers, how scammers work, how to avoid scammers and what to do if you have been scammed as we can. We then make that information freely accessible. That's what we do.

RE: FUND TRANSFER ACCESS CODE
We received a funds transfer instructional letter from the Korri Roper, Chief Financial Officer, Federal Bureau of Investigation.This letter stated that we should debit their reserved bank account with our bank in the amount of Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only and transfer it to your account.
In this case, you are hereby advised to fill the attached FT-109 form and send it back to enable us proceed with your funds transfer. As our transfer procedural modality and local transfer law demands, you will pay the sum of Five hundred and sixty United States dollars ($560.00) FUND TRANSFER ACCESS CODE processing fee.
Our regulations stipulates that you pay the fee which covers the processing of the FUND TRANSFER ACCESS CODE to our processing center. Your funds will be credited to your account within (72) hours upon receipt of the processing fee and the FT-109 form. So I urge you to conduct no delay in making the payment. Note that the FT-109 form has not been signed as you can see it was stamped but I will sign it as soon as you return it before transfer can take place.
Like I have said, you will send the money to our processing office/center in the name of the processing officer which shall be given to you upon your request. Please bear in mind that the fee is refundable and shall be added to your funds, making it the total of US$10,500,560.00 only. Be informed that your funds cannot not be transferred until you send the above mentioned fee.
HOW TO FILL THE FT-109 FORM: Print it out and fill in the information required with a Pen then scan and send it back via email attachment so that we can proceed with your funds transfer immediately we receive the fee and the FT-109 filled form.
We promise you of our excellent services.
Your response with the filled FT-109 form is highly appreciated.
