I got this in my email box this morning and would like some help reporting it. First, I have not subscribed to http://www.webbizhelper.com - nor do I know who this Steven Polson is. After getting the email, I did visit the webbizhelper.com site and read the FAQ. I could not believe the site is still up and operating. This is absolutely a sham. Summary - you accept money from someone out of the country and are required to send it via western union within 24 hours to someone else in the US. They claim you get $150.00 per transaction, regardless of the amount transferred. I can only imagine this to be the same scam as the ebay scam where an international certified check is sent to you which turns out to be a fake. Also, suspiciously the domain according to allwhois.com is registered to someone in the Ukraine. Can anyone help shed light on this or let me know who I can report it to? Thanks. -Carter --- polson@private wrote: > X-Apparently-To: offto@private via 216.136.172.23; > Tue, 11 May 2004 22:45:29 -0700 > Return-Path: <offto@private> > Received: from 209.239.34.27 (EHLO > host8.globalnameservers.com) (209.239.34.27) > by mta194.mail.dcn.yahoo.com with SMTP; Tue, 11 > May 2004 22:45:29 -0700 > Received: (from offto@localhost) > by host8.globalnameservers.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) id > i4C5gKHs029557 > for offto@private; Wed, 12 May 2004 01:42:20 > -0400 > Received: from smtp.mail15.com (www.cora1s.com > [161.58.99.231]) > by host8.globalnameservers.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) > with SMTP id i4C5gKnq029553 > for <carter@private>; Wed, 12 May 2004 01:42:20 > -0400 > Date: Wed, 12 May 2004 01:42:20 +0300 > From: polson@private > X-Mailer: The Bat!
