The show was called "To Catch an ID Thief" but if you asked me they showed a couple of great examples of how the Romance Scams and Re-Shipping Scams work!

Yes, I did! I agree that they did a fabulous job. Wish the media would do more to inform people.

I agree, they did a fabulous job on the topic and I loved how they tracked down the one guy in Nigeria and made him look like an idiot. The scary thing is the scammers now are moving to Iran where we have no jurisdiction on making arrests so they can scam people and get away with it.

More reason to alert people through sites like this and when striking conversations in person.
