I am asking because i did, and today it returned to bite me in the ass. If you recall the nigerian money scam from a few years ago. This beautiful woman claims her dad was a high ranking something or other wanting to use your bank account. Giving you access to millions of dollars if you send a little money. Well i sent $ 1000, and friday i recieved 6 money orders totalling $ 6,000. When i tried to cash a couple they were red flagged, bringing the police to my doorstep today. I feel like such a idiot.
-
Yeah, I got duped once into giving who I thought was America Online my parents credit card #.
I was very young, but I still felt like an ass when these $60 charges started showing up.
Luckily, the credit card company reimbursed my parents for everything, so everything turned out fine.
I still felt like an ass for a loooong time though.
-
hehe, you suck! Only an idiot would fall for that...
you send 1000$?!?!
weren\'t you the one who cheated on his wife and than comes complaining here about how she makes your life miserable? serves you right! I never liked you anyway, if I were a mod I\'d ban you...
-
wow!
-
lol, i hope this thread is a joke.
-
Lmao this thread made my day
-
Dont lose ur munniez !
-
ehhh i sent this irish figg0t $150 for a Gamecube package that never showed up. I got reimbursed because the money order was bought using my Check Card with a VISA logo on it.
i had his address, i seriously wanted to hire a hitman in ireland to whack him in the nutsack with a hammer
-
I\'m in Nigeria, stealing your moneyz.
-
I had an issue with identity theft last year. However, I knew what had happened seconds after I did it and immediately went to the bank and got a new card and had the old one destroyed. Thankfully no money had been spent from my account yet. Make absolutely sure you look at the url in the address bar before submitting anything to make sure it\'s legit. I got careless.
-
Hahaha I haven\'t laughed like this from a thread in a long time
-
My friend almost had something like this happen to him, but he got out of it immediately.
I still can\'t believe you fell for that. :confused:
-
I first heard that scam as a sophomore in high school and even smelled the bullshit behind it. I even said to myself and a couple friends that only a really special person would fall for it :)
-
if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is....i feel for ya fred, but that s**t usually happens to senior citizens....
-
I\'d normally think its a joke because noone is dumb enough to send some anonymous person 1,000 bucks and expect millions in return...but fred has had some dumb ass posts in the past so who knows.
maybe the whole thing\'s an act..luckily only like 3 er 4 people really respond to his sickness stories

bought a 4 gig sony pro duo card. It\'s a fake. Taking it back for my cash back.
not impressed.
-
WoW! Don\'t you own a TV? Dateline NBC (*when they\'re not busting child molesters) runs expose`s all the time.
Working for a gold broker, I get dozens of emails a week offering me 2 metric tons of gold from Africa, and I only have to pay $200 an ounce for it! WOW! With gold @ $650, I stand to get rich! Seriously guy, I feel for ya, but you deserve to get taken if you send anyone in Nigeria money.

Jesus what a coincidence! A friend of mine came yesterday at my house with a letter he unexpectedly got from a supposed high ranked foreign businessman from Africa. It said that he supposedly inherited a huge sum of money and he is asking to give him his account or something to pass the money too. I dont remember the exact details of the letter, but it was another scum to pull money out of your bank
The letter is totally formally written, with all kinds of certificates, signs, stamps etc. It was 100% professional and easy to fool someone that it is real. Its scary how they got all the information from my friend because they were referring directly to HIM!

Chizzy has it right... Dateline NBC runs a program called "To Catch an Identity Thief" just like their "To Catch a Predator". Chris Hansen actually went to Nigeria to track this chick named "Wendy" down and ended up in Switzerland meeting this guy who claimed to be her lawyer - I think he called himself "Barrister Mike" or something like that.
No offense Fred, but this is why stuff like this happens - Americans are gullible in general and criminals across the globe know this.

while this may be true, and if he\'s the type that\'s looking for some type of sympathetic attention, especially if it\'s an act, then he\'s wrong and pitiful... but he\'s been so specific with his descriptions of his illness and everyday therapy that i don\'t think it\'s an act....
it doesn\'t matter either way to me but i think that if he\'s not bulls**ting with his condition, then we need to show a little bit more compassion,..*i thought what politiepet posted was a bit harsh*....there are millions of people livin\' with a handicapped or disabled condition that we ourselves take for granted and should be thankful that we are fully functional...

heh i saw that episode...they just had some random pic of a hotty that they used *probably some random pic they got off the internet*...they caught that guy in so many lies it wasn\'t even funny...it\'s a shame they weren\'t able to let the local authorities arrest him like in "to catch a predator"...i was shocked that they had to let him go....

yeah that chick was hot though! Too hot if you ask me lol.
I agree about the letting him go part, but what were they gonna do? Tazer him?
-
I wasn\'t baggin\' on him...and I agree some of those posts were harsh. I was just shocked that with all the press, and even discussions around here, that he could be taken. He must have smelled pussy, that\'s the only explanation.
Clips, get you peeps in line over there, will ya?!?! ;)
-
Once I wired $10,000 to some African ex king or some shit, and in return I got $22 million. So HA!
-
Clips, get you peeps in line over there, will ya?!?! ;)
ay\' we just don\'t rob and sell drugs to make money now...we\'re movin\' on up to "sophisticated" crime now...:D

I\'m not sure if this has been posted here before.

i was more referring to the constant "i have a headache" posts. especially since most of the time theyre in threads that have nothing to do with it. Not so much the handicap thing for the same reasons you said

Oh boy, Fred. I\'m not mad. I\'m just...disappointed...
-
weren\'t you the one who cheated on his wife and than comes complaining here about how she makes your life miserable? serves you right! I never liked you anyway, if I were a mod I\'d ban you...
WOW
-
I think maybe politiepet is carrying a few emotional scars on the subject of marital infidelity.
Or maybe not...
-
hehe, you suck! Only an idiot would fall for that...
you send 1000$?!?!
Gee excuse me mr perfection
Didn\'t realize you never made a mistake
-

I think politiepet just has some sand in his vagina. Either that or a bitter old hermit who likes to prey on young boys.
-
my vagina is perfectly clean... I mean... heh...
anyway... Fre4d4, that\'s what you said last time. that mr perfection bullshit... What the hell man? cheating on your wife is not just a mistake, your a loser for doing it. The minute I read it I knew I was going to hate you! quit your "please feel sorry for me act" and start realizing that the only person responsible for your troubles is yourself...
-
*awkward moment of silence*
ahem.....I\'m gonna ahem go now. Sorry I have to leave this party so early, fred.
[SIZE="1"]polpot! sssssshhhhhhh[/SIZE]

Dayummm!

I have to sort of agree with politiepet. If you do a quick search on threads started by Fred you will see a lot them fall into the category of "My life is woe" subject heading.
Fred, you may be a great guy in person, but personally, I have stayed away from your posts up to now. Too much negativity and it looked like another pity party. I don\'t mind reading posts about shitty things that happen in people\'s lives it just seems like everything you post is about a shitty thing that is happening or has happened to you. I don\'t know if it is a cry for attention or an outlet, but I am starting to think it is the former.
-

I\'m walking home Lloyd!

lol donkaments
I\'m Nigerian give me yo paper okie dokie

I can just feel the tension in this thread. This is starting to feel more awkward than my girl\'s parents finding my receipt for condoms in their daughters laundry.
-
Yeah everybody\'s flexin their Internet muscles in this one.
-
Fine , i dont have to defend myself to some of you guys, Maybe i will check back in a couple a months, when politepet has had a good bowel movement.
As for my threads i did not realize they had such a negitive air to them i will keep that in mind.
-

Or you making that up to impress e-ballers.
-
My threads are outlet\'s nothing more.
I realize you guy\'s don\'t know me personally, however if you did you would know i have come to far since the stroke to have pity parties.
With that im outta here for a while. Honestly im a little nervous, i could go to jail for a little bit. If that happens i will let you know how the food is.
TTYL

Yeah but that\'s more or less a complement to politiepet. He juggles cock like its his job.

wtf are you talking about. you dont get thrown in jail for being a dumbass. either there is more to it or you are full of it
and the whole post is a prime example of why i get annoyed. jumpman wasnt even talking to you..and you do that a lot. you threatened to leave in the post before jumpman\'s, he responded to titan and not your \'threat\', so you brought it up again..and THX made you feel a little better on the inside.
-
Yeah. Jumpman always puts me down when I mention "me" and "women" in the same post. He\'s just jealous that he can only lure little girls with candy and not get a real woman ;) j/k. I love you jumpy.
-
Have you ever scammed a fallen guy ?

*raises hand slowly*...uhm...i gotta agree with viper on this one....jail?!... fred you lost me on that one..and i also agree to a certain degree with giga....i don\'t think you should leave fred, it\'s just some of what viper, giga, and to a lesser degree polite even tho harsh..is true.....i tried to defend you a bit earlier but you have jumped in on posts that have had nothing to do with you at all....and just to everybody else, fred for the most part isn\'t a jerk to anybody in here,...and even tho his posts seems like he comatose *alot of times i\'ll be like wtf?*i think he\'s ok....
But enough of that i said my say and fred,....i\'m not gonna defend your stance anymore....i stated what i did earlier because of your condition, but everything else that a few are sayin\' regarding everything else, is kinda justified. if you choose to leave then so be it....i know you\'re an older guy but leaving over something so juvenile when you\'re catchin\' some heat seems kinda childish...imo
-
Don\'t leave over something like this, dude. Really.
-
Ok guys im not leaving, and i will do my best to choose my words before posting anything,
-
holla if ur a balla
-
Yeah but that\'s more or less a complement to politiepet. He juggles cock like its his job.
you\'re confusing me with your mother :)
-
you\'re confusing me with your mother :)
Oh get out of the closet, politie queenie! Everyone knows you\'re the gayest gay that ever gayed! You can\'t even walk straight, you take it up the butt so much. Last time you heard your own fart (due to your loose sphincter) was after Bubba sneezed as he licked your butt hole!
Fag. :p
-
you\'re confusing me with your mother :)
Oh here we go. Pulling out the "mamma" jokes. Very original politiepet....very original ;)
-
did I say mother? I meant your father...
-
Hey Fred did Chris Hansen come pay you a visit?
-
did I say mother? I meant your father...
Using "your father" after "your mother". How cliche. You can atleast be a little more creative :gfight:
-
it\'s just that, well, your father confuses me... :(
-
Kinda like when I try to figure out your sexuality ;)

-
Nope i was just stupid and made some mistakes.

I know, right? He\'s worse than my ex girlfriend.

that\'s cause all men are pigs!! :( *cries*

talk about raggin on someone. wtf has fred done to anyone here? who gives a shit if he bitches and wines on a forum. Thats what its here for. Don\'t like it, don\'t friggin read it.
carry on. ;)
-
I like to vent my frustration here too. Its better than cocking a shotgun.
-

I guess it also has to do with the age difference. Fred\'s posts seem kind of awkward & from leftfield sometimes.
If i were to get so upset about every guy who once wasn\'t really faithful in marriage... haha, then what a tough time in my life would i have, to keep my cool. Oh Lol...
the mental energy is better used for things other than frustration about others.
-
Thank you soul grind and kotter, i just enjoy hanging out here with everyone.
