Gambling Scams

 

I've looked at the 57 gambling scam e-mails I got yesterday.

Most were from China. Or at least the domain names had .cn on the end.

Now would any sensible person gamble on a site based in that country? Obviously, they do! It beggars belief.

Some also pointed to primewinner.com. This domain has not been registered. perhaps I should register it and put up a page saying that you've been scammed.

But then if I want to gamble on the Internet, there are several legitimate companies based in the UK, who obey UK law and pay UK tax.

So surely one of the ways of cutting these scams would be for all countries to legalise on-line gambling and regulate it properly. But then the US doesn't believe in common sense.
