The proposed takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft is not yet a reality, but this does not prevent the African crooks from using the company names for a bogus lottery.

Rur Uar? Now that is a very unusual name.

If there really is such a name, us humble Europeans would have a hard time trying to guess where it comes from.

The story he’s telling is the one with Global Max Couriers. Remember that one?

I don’t believe he’s in Germany, but it sounds good doesn’t it?
