@Burning Bush: Those ore-ore scams are actually quite common where I'm from as well. The way I've heard it happens is that the impostor, rather than being paid via money transfer, tells his "grandma"/"aunt"/etc. to pass the money(or other valuables at times) in person to his friend to later be delivered to them(as in they are unable to get it themselves). That's why they are so hard to trace later on.
