Remember the next time a scammer claims to be a legit real business... that legit real business are capable of scamming. They are capable of scamming for years. They are capable of stealing millions. They are capable of avoiding jail time. If you shoplifted, you would get locked up, but if you are crafty, you can profit and blame someone else, hide behind a massive corporation, or just settle without admitting guilt. Widespread corruption is nothing new. Small scale corruption is no less prevalent. So even when someone claims to be legit, inquire about their corporate background, credentials, services, and business practices. When you hit a brick wall, you know you are dealing with an unscrupulous character.
