431 scams

Oh Nigeria, the country of the 431 scams.

Today, more than ever, you have to be very careful when buying or selling something. No matter what type of business you are, there will always be a scammer waiting for you.

The story is always the same: they want to buy for a higher price or sell something really cheap. You just have to transfer the money by Wester Union (big mistake) and you will receive your goods.

Or, if you are selling, there will be a relative that has just died or that owned money that will give all to you, and you just have to send the rest to the scammer, so that you are paid for what you are selling. How convenient.

When buying or selling online, never use Western Union. Ever. If something sound too good to be true, then is probably a scam. There is no easy money, so to save you some trouble always use your common sense.
