Please do not be so judgemental? There are many older folks... 'silver surfers'... who fall for this shit. Others may be in desperate situations, or just completely gullable.I really hate this 'you must be dumb if you fall for blah blah blah'Not everyone has an IQ of 145 and understands scams. So I ask again - Please take care.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shisha fan Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 i didn`t mean to be judgemental, sorry about that. but i do think you should always question things like this (that are too good to be true). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's my own personal opinion that i doubt anyone on here would get rodgered by it... And I often cannot understand how anyone can fall for it.But I believe that this little scam made in excess of US$5,000,000 last year alone. Un-bloody-believable.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foos Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 What a lame thing to do to another person. You just gotta be smart about these kinds of things and it really doesn't surprise me at all that so many people have fallen for this, not that it is believable in any way, but theres a lot of folks who just don't know better.

TheScotsman Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Elvis Brown??? You would thing the bugger would have picked something a little more authentic sounding.I must get dozen of those a week. Have you gotten the great job opportunity in Jamaica/Belize, just send me UDS500. for the visa paperwork scam yet? I get enough to share the wealth if you feel the need.

lemmiwinks Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I think it's fun to fuck with them, I had an email correspondence with one of them one time with the "I'll send you an extremely overvalued cashier's check for your item and you send me change." I think it ended with me offering to trade for a dozen bananas and his first born or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even flinch when you write back in their own fubar'd english and try to bargain with goats and virgins.Some of the replies I would get back were internet gold.
