    company "WO-Trans" and I have a favorable offer for you.
    We render the services consisting in reception of payments from
    clients of the various companies when the client and the company are in the differentcountries. We save money of the companies - now the commission for the international transactions is not raised - the
    small commissions for transactions between two banks inside one
    country are raised only.

    Royal Bank Canada on which you will receive remittances. Your account should be activated for inside bank transactions.
    If you do not have an account in Royal Bank Canada, it is
    necessary for you to open it.
    Today we suggest you to work with us on a post “the
    Financial courier”. Function of the financial manager is reception of money resources from the legal persons - clients of our company - and the further transferring to our representatives. We pay high percent from each operation - 5 %.

    I always like to take their IP from the header of the mail and tell them they've been reported to IFCC.

    I just hate to think of all the poor people who actually think this is a genuine mail.

    It will be great if you could just tell the IFCC instead of scaring them.

    Well, for those who were hooked on this, "ignorance is not an excuse if you lost your money because of it.

    Its not even easy to read. People need to be so careful. Its alright for people who use and know the internet like most of us but there must be thousands who join the net everyday without a clue.

    What happens to these people who pull scams like this. Do the majority get caught.
