| Any time they say they'll send a shipper to pick anything up it is a Scam. They'll issue you a check and the check will be no good and you are stuck with bank charges and all sorts of problems. |

| Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member  | Scam. You should report their e-mail to CL to let them know about it. If it happens once, it's probably happening to lots of people.

| Fortunately the scammer didn't bother to craft a slicker-sounding email. As I was reading, I had the picture of someone trying to purchase a get-away car from his cell phone. Sheesh.

Speaking of doofus robbers, we had a story in our paper today where two guys robbed a store in a small town and got caught when their car ran out of gas during the getaway.

reminds me of the guy who robbed a bank - put a paper bag over his head & when he got to the teller window - he couldn't see a thing - he FORGOT TO CUT OUT EYE HOLES in his 'El CHEAPO' robber mask lol another at my own bank ...I heard this one 1st hand - a guy held up the tellers and got out the door with the money ....what was distinctive was he had bandages all over his face - sooo.....after he left the bank, the cops found him walking down the highway - bandages and all. The idiot didn't even have a CAR TO GET AWAY in nor did he remove the very noticable bandages Some people are just begging to go to jail. Megan sweetie - I KNOW in your heart you know that email was a scam and your brother is driving ??
