Contracting out
         

<p>Money transfer scams, which were once relatively exotic, are now as ubiquitous as 419 and prize pitch scams (and, in fact, may even be run by some of the same people). One notable change is that many money transfer scammers no longer bother advertising a fake website that supposedly gives details about the company, or even linking to a legitimate website that they pretend is theirs. Instead, they simply supply an email address (Gmail seems popular, but Yahoo!, Hotmail and AOL are also widely-used) and a description of their imaginary company, larded with the usual key phrases and promises of high returns for little work.</p>
