Indian men? They love women like crazy.

But something serious needs to be done regarding this internet fraud of a thing. It is starting to become disgusting.

These boys are even exporting their fraud overseas, especially Malaysia, Ghana, India and South Africa.

Even the Ghanians are hot in the field of internet fraud. They call it Sakawa.
