Why I Started This Blog

Just recently, I have been scammed by someone online who was trying to sell me a phone. Overcome by the greed to enjoy a great bargain and probably impatient to get hold of the good deal, I was not as careful as I should have been and lost close to a thousand dollars just like that. When I called the police about how I can lodge a report, I enquired more details about how the law can help me.

I had my eye on an iphone and my hubby told me about this website http://www.insing.co.cc/ A deal too good to be true It seemed that there were a lot of good deals there and they were selling at really cheap prices. An iphone usually costs $1200-1400 without contract and they are offering to sell it at $300-$450… including shipping, one year warranty, fully unlocked and sealed totally straight from factory. Sounded like a deal that is too good to be true but greed and curiosity got better of us and we emailed them for more info. Trying to gain our trust and confidence After we emailed them, they gave us an msn address and started a conversation with us online.
