What sounds too good to be true isn't true. This proverb got confirmed again with the following offer someone has dropped by using the contact form at my blog. It sounds like some people from India are waking up for starting a fight against the scam coming from their country. The problem is only that the offer itself is coming from a scammer, who likes to be registered by the government - with other words he is thinking that he is an authority in scamming, but he confirms only that he has no education. Here is the offer I have received:

It would be nice to have an app with trusted results, but by taking a look at the domain registration data, we can see that even this address is a fake:

What can you expect from a company offering something, where even the provided address is a fake?
You can expect only that one scammer likes to earn from other scammers. Depending on the payment from the other scammer you'll receive a positive or negative response. With other words you'll get scammed in any case instead of getting protected from scams.
As long as the scammers are so stupid and uneducated it will be easy like described above to dismantle scams and the offered service useless. Who needs to verify the location and personal profiles in such a case?
How a scammer, which is providing a fake address by himself, will be able to verify others? How trustful can be such an investigation? The provided offer is nothing else than another way of making money of a scammer. He likes to monetize the scam coming from his country. Some people would even try to sell their own dirt if it would not smell bad.
