SCAM SCAM SCAM

The Nigerian 419 scammers and fake reviewers want to steal your money

A new comment on the blog post Dr Stephen Mak a Fraud is indicative of a long list of comments placed by suspected professional comment creators. Sometimes the comments come directly from the scammers who stands to profit from the foolishness of people who are desperate for money and/or magic cures.

Professional commenting and reviewing has grown into a whole new and lucrative industry. The products and services include magic cures (especially herbal or natural cures), financial services, hotels, electronic products, psychic services and a host of other often dubious products and services.

The Nigerian scam has been around for decades and originated long before the internet. But here is a recent version:

Please send money to help this Nigerian astronaut get home from his secret space mission. He needs $3 million.

The new comment on Dr Stephen Mak a Fraud (37,000 readers) is supposedly from Susan Malila, Dallas, Texas, who does not surface in any Google search other than for the same comment which appeared on numerous sites on the same day. Here is her comment exactly as it was written:
