Scammers make me very angry. That is all.

"There will be extra funds on the cashier check as it is my pay check mailed directly to you as I want this item very much and want no delay in getting it. Upon the clearance kindly deduct the agreed price + shipping and extra $ for securing the item for me after which I will make arrangement on how you will get the extra funds back to me."

So many a-holes out there.

Just cash it and keep it all, and don't send the product. PS get a fake ID and use it to cash check.

Onetime I got scammed out of my little Debbie snack cakes from little Suzy Q and it wasn't neat.

My apprentice at work, his grandmother just got scammed today. Got a call she thought was from him, saying he was in another state visiting a friend that didn't even exist and he needed money. She is very old and fell for it. Sent THOUSANDS OF $$. He was with me working in DL... He got a call from her asking if he had received the money. Bad deal .

I get a kick out of these old people on Dr Phil who are cat phished. He brings out all this evidence and some still won't believe it SMH. The old saying about a fool and his money comes to mind.

WOW , That is sad. Those with elder family members should have a good talk with them about scammers.

Happened to my late grandfather a couple years ago. Assbags called saying he was my grandpa's oldest son (who happens to be estranged for over 15 years) saying he was in trouble and needed money. Gramps sent it to him. I don't remember the initial amount, but luckily we got it out of him and the second check was cancelled before it got to the address because it was for $8500. Maybe they got lucky in guessing the name, maybe they had some info on him to know his kids names, but it was some dirty shit. Never did catch them either.

if the people working this hard to do the wrong thing would work this hard doing it the right way, they wouldn't need to scam people out of their hard earned cash.

My cabalas card was compromised 2 months ago, about $1,500 of purchase in west Virginia. They fixed it, but sonsabitches anyway, the scammers not Cabala's

someone tried that to my grandma two years ago. 'Grandma, it's me. I am in trouble' then my grandma assumed it was the trouble maker of the bunch and said his name. He came back with 'you can't tell my parents but i need money'...good thing my grandma is broke bc otherwise she would have sent a check, it really upset her though that she thought her grandkid was going to go to jail again

They usually send a fake wire transfer. First a small one to test and then a larger one. They make sure you are there and pull the money out right away. Shortly after the transfer is caught and the money pulled back out of your account leaving it negative. The bank can still hold you accountable for this money.

My brother in law is a idiot!

Some ass clown used my business phone number with someone's else credit card to order stuff from cableals..I get a call from the person that got their card compromise and they starting in on me asking why I stole his wife's credit card number...told him I have no idea what he's talking about and tried to explain thats hows scammers work when they steal someone's information, I told him since cabela gave him this information, he should also been given the actual shipping address because its wasn't my address, they just used my phone number, he preceeds to tell him he's turning me into authoritiies...I said whatever, they ain't gonna find anything. Never heard a word from him again.

Just a few months ago, my mother receives a call, they tell her computer has a virus and they will fix it for her..mind you, my mom is very illerate when it comes to computers, doesn't even know to go look at files and etc....she said the caller was hard to understand, put they talk her thru on how to let them in through remote access, they installed some bs software which I caught and delete...I also told her to call her credit card company up and cancel the payment, thank god it was a low dollar amount. her laptop kinda acts little funny sometimes and I"m working on it...she just uses it to go on FB, check her email and buy stuff. Told her to never ever let a caller tell you have a computer problem, cuz they don't even know what you have and they are phising for personal information Tell you what I was pretty ticked off with her because I have told her before to just hang up on these asshats...

It just amazes me this d*heads have the nerve to sit there and call number after number after number trying to snag old people that don't have a clue whats happening and get their money.

Another NDAer has suggested that these Jamaican asshats in Bismarck be put on a work crew with Craig Cobb. Maybe they'll all 'cure' each other.

I just got a call from a random number...says to call them back because it's the IRS and there is a warrant for my arrest because of tax fraud or some shit. Called back and someone answered (clearly terrible English) "thank you for calling IRS" ....I laughed and told him to get F(*#*. FYI the IRS does not call you, they will send mail first. Dumb shits.

Oh, the number that called was (360) 562-9014. Feel free to give them a call and mess with them LOL

If that thing is still acting up and she still uses it, bring that thing in and have it wiped.
