First and foremost,it need be appreciated that scammers prey easily on persons who are not painstaking and are willing and ready to use short cuts to instant success.

Anybody who is criminally minded in this free world is at liberty to mke whatever claim.However it behoves on the person to whom this claim is made to make verifications.If somebody claims to be a lawyer in my office and probably a fake site to deceive people,one must not be hasty to establish a money bound relationship on the internet without verification for scammers are everywhere.

Before entering into such a fund transferring relationship,make enquiries at the relevant embassy and do a check with the Bar Association which has a checklist of all authentic lawyers in the country.

If has already fallen prey,a report to the economic and financial crimes commission may lead to arrest and recovery.
