Be careful of scammers using tricky emails!
I have been getting a lot of emails from people asking about:
jack.kozubek@gmail.com in the UK My email is jacek.kozubek@gmail.com and I am in San Francisco. That little "e" can cost someone lot of money. When people have references check them. Copy and paste an email address to google it. It's hard not to have some sort of online trail these days. If nothing comes up ask questions. I have a rule I try to follow ... if I feel 1% uncomfortable I walk away. Have I been scammed in elaborate different ways? ... of course! I just don't want it to happen to anyone here or anywhere else. -Jacek |

I hate scammers. Can you file a complaint with Google?

That sucks Jacek. It's times like this when helpful hackers might be a good choice (like aimed at this scammer).

Thanks, I was a bit nervous about this bloke. (I won't say why as he'll only improve his game...)
Then I was on here and read your great reviews however the email struck me as odd. Thanks for your post, you've confirmed my suspicion. Much appreciated! |
