Hi Chris,

These people don't have much of the old grey matter handy, do they?

Don't underestimate these people. They do lack a good command of language skills other than their own. They think in different frames. Scamming criminals are very clever and are constantly finding convincing ways to acquire money from victims.

What makes them appear stupid is that they often lack knowledge of Western Cultures and scam-baiters can have fun with them, consuming the scammers' resources. Reducing the time that they have on real victims.

Asking fake phone sellers to supply a phone with a "flux capacitor" or to supply and deliver a Hubble Telescope (for $1000)
Fake chemical company to supply a quantity of dehydrated H2O.
The list goes on. Experienced scammers are not easily fooled by a baiter but some do get arrested or sent on unrewarding journeys called safaris.

I have found where they are "selling" up market scopes at bargain prices. Don't fall for them. Their web-sites get shut down, email accounts closed. Bank accounts shut down. There are many of them. Easy to find.

Cheers
