Fraud project posted

I review vast amounts of project posts every day looking for clients, and there are many scams which i flag, but this one deserves special attention:

**Edited for Community Guidelines**

To be clear, "Money Adders" are pieces of software which claim to generate vast amounts of money from nowhere! Needless to say, this is a scam. And yes, they will most certainly require you to log in to Paypal, Skrill, etc., to 'give' you money for nothing, and after doing so, will likely steal whatever money you have there.

This needs to be taken down and some measures taken against poster. This is beyond the normally 'acceptable' scam on the Internet like 'send me $15 processing fee to be considered for this nonexistent work position' - that one ventures into the area of serious crime.
