course of getting one fund or the other that is not real. Right now,
we are working hand in hand with Western Union to track every
fraudster down, do not respond to their e-mails, letters and phone
calls any longer as they are scam and you should be very careful to
avoid being a victim to fraudsters any longer because they have
nothing to offer you but to rip-off what you have earnestly worked
hard to earn.
