Here you will find the latest Restaurant Scams that are doing the rounds at the moment. Many Retaurant owners are falling for this type of Restaurant Fraud. A list of the originators of these scams is listed on our Latest page. If you receive an email regarding any Scam you suspect, please forward it to us here. A quick key for what to look out for in spotting an email scam is in the Grammer and puntuation, and for some reason many Nigerian Scammers tend to use all capital letters with no spaces either side of a comma or fullstop (period). But the motto is .... "If it looks too good to be true then it probably is"

Has anyone had any dealings with www.soldsign25.biz if so we would like to hear from you.
