\nWe have just charged your credit card for money laundry service in amount of $234.65 (because you are either child pornography webmaster or deal with dirty money, which require us to layndry them and then send to your checking account).
\nIf you feel this transaction was made by our mistake, please press “No”.
\nIf you confirm this transaction, please press “Yes” and fill in the form below.
\nEnter your credit card number here: [______]
\nEnter your credit card expiration date: [_____]
\n[Yes] [No]<\/p>\n

And, uh, guys, you want to tell the marks that they should fill out their credit card number and expiry date if they don’t <\/i>want to have the charge applied. Get your scam right, okay?<\/p>\n
