Some dude on rokslide that scammed me for 50 bucks to help pay for a set of swarovski binos........

Randy

I think he scammed another bunch of Roksliders with an ad "Selling some Swarovski Binos that Randy bought for me". They never got the binos.....

Had another shipping scam attempt today. Messed with him for a bit to make sure he wasn't just a customer with poor English. The scam is they make an order and request you pay for the shipping directly to their shipping company- which isn't a real company. The shipping company never shows up to pick up the order and they just keep the shipping money.

Working in the banking industry, I see a lot of scams targeting lonely elderly people. Thankfully I live in a small town and can usually know some sort of kin that can help step in and prevent the fraud. I've stopped shoe boxes of cash going out, wires to boyfriends in africa, alleged celebrity girlfriends "needing money". We've seen them all!

Got hit with the publishers clearing house scam. Prefect American English. Forgot to get away from the barnyard. Could hear chickens constantly in the background while I wasted 10 minutes of his time. Was traveling and he called on my business phone. Then I lost cell service. Was an interesting way to kill some windshield time. Wanted me to send him vanilla credit cards. Live a sheltered life. Had never heard of them before.
