Some people just do not know wtf is going on sometimes.

oh man.

Joe don’t be jealous

lolll oh no.

in for updates when bank contacts him to pay $$$

he’s fuct.

Ouch.

wait, this was someone on here?

Oh man, sorry for his loss! LOL
2G is a lot of cake to lose because you can’t listen to someone!!
IT’S A SCAM!! HAPPENS TO ME TWICE A WEEK WHEN I SELL SHIT ON CRAIGSLIST!!!

People still fall for this?

oh come on, you can’t not tell us who it is.

so because the bank cashed it, automatically makes it valid in this persons mind? What a dummy.

I have some waterfront property i would like to sell them.

I just figured it was really old people, not someone who would be friends with Joe, know what “nyspeed” was, and communicate via AIM.

Seriously, you gotta tell us who this moron is.

I have a friend who, no matter how many links I send him pointing out the scam, is convinced he’s going to get a 2005 Accord shipped from an army sergeant in Spain for $2950. It’s infinitely frustrating and at this point I almost hope he looses money and learns the lesson.

Whoever it is deserves to be out the money for sheer stupidity. Even more so since you informed the person it was a scam.

Some people just don’t learn unless they do it themselves. Like telling a kid not to touch the stove cause it’s hot but they do it anyways cause they have to find out for themselves.

I texted him on my way to work, “How about you take me to the game, give me $1000, we’ll go out back, I’ll kick you in the nuts, and we’ll call it a deal”. He just wrote back " :frowning: " Apparently he’s doing his reading now.

As for who it is, I think he has a troll account to view funny shit but he’s not an active poster. For those of you who went to SHHS, it’s Vinny P :lol: Typical no common sense, I’m just surprised he hasn’t knocked up his gf he met on plentyoffish yet as these seem to be the type that procreate.
In for updates. I told him if the people havent claimed the western union $ yet and he gets it back he owes me $500.

LOL
