look at the amount of countries they say they print money for and look at the material - 80% cotton and 20% cellulose. I think that's like US currency only material. UK and other countries use plastic window etc in some type of special paper which can't be counterfeited easily. They would need highly specialized printers for each country. I doubt they would invest so much if they are searching for people to buy fake money off them.

So this stuff is mostly copied from wikipedia and pasted to sound real but in reality they will just ask a person to send them money first and then disappear or start making excuses that they need more money because it was held in customs etc.
