Title: Scammers, lol
Post by: TehBorken on Sep 12 06 08:42
Man, I tell ya, scammers just aren't very bright.

I have one who's been trying to purchase something off of another site and he's used 4 different emails from four different hosts. He's also listed 4 different countries as his point of origin but the actual IP addresses come back to four completely different countries thousands of miles apart. There's not even an attempt at consistency, lol. Now he's asking if he can get the item while we "work out (the discrepancies in the) payment issues".

Lol, as Al used to say, "I don't think so, Tim".

They wouldn't be scammers if they weren't sure that there were even stupider people out there begging to be fleeced.

Maybe. I'm certainly not begging to be fleeced, but I think I know what you meant.
