Handy tip
My brother-in-law (who isn't very tech savvy) got scammed by this recently. Luckily he paid by credit card and the bank refunded him right away. Fair enough really, given that the "service" provided was entirely fraudulent.
So if you have any friends or family who have been similarly duped, this might be an option for them. It also ensures that the scamming bastards don't get their money, as I assume the bank just does a chargeback on it.
