I would like to add to the above statement since I experience the very same thing also. Most of the time,blog posts written in very poor English are done outside of our country and therefore outside of US Authorities reach. Beware of scams asking you to send money by Western Union,MoneyGram,ebay and PayPal. Chances are,you will never see your money,goods or services that you paid for. There are many people from countries like Nigeria that sit in Internet Cafes trying to scam your money every single day. I can not stress this enough.
You will see 100's of examples on craigslist alone. People put their properties up for sale every year including pictures of the properties and these guys in Nigeria will copy and paste these ads and try to rent you these properties unbelievably cheap and people fall for it everyday. "Oh,my company transferred me to West Africa or I'm doing Missionary work and want a clean person to rent my place." Just remember,you are lucky if you truly meet one person in your lifetime that has really done this and these ads,you will meet a couple dozen in one day,lol.
Now I didn't see the blog posts that were removed but I could imagine. The newest scam is these guys look up University Registries for professors that list their credits and say that they are being transferred to the UK for research and need to rent there place for two years,give you two weeks inspection period and will open an ebay account to handle the whole transaction. Only that part is true,lol.
