and you know this how, just wondering??

A wonderful, modern day invention...
It's called television.

The BBC had a series called "Scam busters", on which they exposed many
scams. They tracked down the scammers, and sometimes even went as far as
scamming them.

One of the scammers had used the proceeds to fund a high class car
dealership, which they visited in order to confront him.
They did a nice trick on another one of the scammers, who claims to need
help releasing his money from a bank account. They had him searching a
field, hoping to find some buried money.

They even showed the mathematics to prove that these pyramid schemes, where
everyone sends money down the line, cannot possibly work. The people who
start them may also start off with a list which is all addresses that lead
to them getting the money... so they cannot lose.
