Dear friend in scouting,

 

My name is Tica, I'm a scout from Romania. I want to tell you about http://scoutface.com.

It's a nice, easy to use, scout meeting place. You can find there now, over 5000 scouts from over 100 countries sharing photos, ideas, friendships.

 

Please inform about scoutface.com the scouts in United States as you can. I know you can do better than me

Thank you

 

Regards,

Tica Darie

Posted on another Scouting related site:

I was forwarded a link to the web site scoutface.com It looks very good, so I forwarded it to our MIC 2008 tech people asking them to check it out. The response I just received is below.

 

Bruce,

This appears legit but IS A SCAM. Looking up the server/hosting information for scoutface.com revealed connections to a major scammer on the web.

 

Whois information:

Vasile Varzariu, the originators own blog titled Sex, drugs and php at htpp: //pozaru.com/blog/

 

The folks adding names, information and photos may be legit but the host is not. Their tech phone # is linked to many on-line scams. Here is one:

 

Easy-Trasnsfer, Inc www .easy-transfers.net

MAKE NO MISTAKE WHO THESE THUGS ARE. CROOKS, CRIMINALS, SCUMBAGS TARGETING THE UNEMPLOY, ELDERLY, STUDENTS, STAY-AT-HOME MOMS, RETIREES, AND THE INNOCENT. LURING THEM INTO CASHING FRAUDULENT CHECKS

This site states the tech contact is a porno spammer:

I would recommend skipping this one.
