It's easy to spot the tricks of the scam trade once you become fluent in scam-ese. This week, a look at some of the classics.

Shopper Needed Check Fraud Scam
Want to be a money mule and help fund terrorism? The 'shopper needed' scam doesn't come out and say it, but that's the reality behind this particular type of fraud.

Dear Anna, Get a Life
Interested in a girl that's so acrobatic she can juggle hundreds of online relationships at once? If you don't mind being just one of many potential suckers and you have a wallet full of cash to give away (and if you don't mind that her real name is probably Bruno), then girls like "Anna" are a scam made in heaven.

Wire Transfer Scams
If you would like to bleed money from small businesses, just fall victim to a wire transfer scam.
