Yeah, there was a warning in our local weekly again, after somebody fell for "I'll send you a cheque of $35,000 to cover a $10,000 suite rental and you send me back $25,000". Do these people live under rocks or something??

You should leave the account active and not take any action against the person. Anyone stupid enough to fall for crap like this deserves what they get. If it takes them out of the Levi's pool, so be it. We're all better off.

STOP PROTECTING THE LAZY IGNORANT SUCKERS OF THE WORLD!

There's a sucker born every minute and we don't need to protect them so they can procreate and make more suckers.

So says Mick.

(There... I talked about myself in the third person. That should lend weight to what I've said.)

Shave the freakin' whales!!!

Should it concern us that the scammers seem to be improving their English grammar and composition?

This one wasn't nearly perfect, but was written much better than usual - in addition to being rather long winded.

Obviously they haven't yet read Elements of Style and taken the golden rule of "omit needless words" to heart.

;-)


I hope you voted for me!


I didn't see that challenge, but your entry is brilliant!


Thanks! A 5.2 says the voters thought otherwise, oh well... I especially like Tez's comment, "A very tenuous connection." LOL
