You deserve a GOLD STAR for that INGENIOUS idea! Organs can be sold on the black, or even free market for millions, which could be used to

further the fight against these squirmy scamming parasites.

The special cat food recipe could be called, Purina Scam Free Gourmet Surprise. With your permission of course.

Yes, I believe you got that right, and as long as the cash keeps flowing in, w/ no interference,

why would would they stop ?

I read an article recently about Nigerian scammers that said some actively recruit younger people into their business since many of them are computer literate. In many cases, the parents don't even know what their kids are doing. The kids see easy money and sadly go for it. Glad to see Jamaica is cracking down but most likely, they'll just pop up somewhere else.

he said some parents are even colluding with young suspects, which police officials say can be as little as14 years old

These scum are useing their kids to commit the crimes, thats why the parents have the bank accts. cars and houses.

cause they know if the kids get caught the law will go easier on them.

This article reads: Police Commissioner Owen Ellington has said that other scam suspects arrested earlier this year have since been released on bail, frustrating investigators.

Why aren't they reporting securing assets that amount closer to a few hundred-millions total? I hope they track down the financial accounts (whatever country) that the big monies are being held in and are able to confiscate them [instead of big screen TVs small change stuff] and publicize that they are returning them...

This could potentially hurt marijuana exports! No reptuable drug dealer would want to do business with a country known for SCAMMING

Darn, and I thought Montego Bay would be a nice restful, peaceful place to vacation. I've heard all about the Nigerian scammers. Guess this won't end

until every country on earth, is getting their fair share of scamming action.

Here a scam, there a scam...everywhere a scam...scam...scam. At least spam is better than a scam.
