The only things stopping me from pulling a scam like this are ethics and my girlfriend.
:D I think it's funny when intelligent adults get whacked by a scam this obvious. I think they deserve it, in a way. As long as it's not an elderly couple or a widow or something...that's not cool. They say there's a sucker born every minute, and this is rock solid proof... As far as the scam listed in the Site Announcements, if some dork sent me a cashier's check for several thousand more than it was supposed to be, he'd be surprised when I told him "no, actually, it was accurate. And it cleared my bank, so shove it!" When it came back counterfeit, I would return the cash and report the guy. Can't con a con man, man! :D BDV |
