    busted another scum scammer

    Well i had to share the info about some fun i had tonight busting a scammer lol.Well Kristy (my girlfreind) has a site for her hemp made jewlery stuff she makes and sell.Today she found someone stole her pics and were using them on a "freeweb" site acting like a 15yr old girl making and selling them.So i emailed this person and told them flat out you are busted .This of course was after i posted in the person guestbook about her being a thief .I get a reply back begging for forgiveness .I replyed back telling this person to get a job and to never even try to "borrow" someones pics ever again.This is the limits when someone can not even have a hobby to earn a few extra bucks without some scummy scammer stealing your stuff .I hate scum scammers!!! I wonder if anyone else here has had this stuff happen(other then snakes lol).

    Re: busted another scum scammer

    yup i live in boston and there's this 'white van scam' basically my roomates were out and this guy came up to them in a van and asked them if they wanted to buy a home theatre system because he had to get rid of it and he said it was worth $1,000 but he was giving it to them for 200 because he had to get rid of it....so my dumba$$ friends bought it and then they find out it's only worth like 80 bucks lol...and then recently the same two roomates got scammed but i can't really talk about what it was, it's college things lol

    Re: busted another scum scammer

    I know of quite a few instances in the horse world where someone was using another persons photo to sell a horse they didn't even have, a lot of nigerian scammers there. I found a few of my husbands mustang he was selling, people were advertising it as their own.

    Re: busted another scum scammer

    why would someone even buy something on the street from a white van? wouldn't the somewhat obvious thought be... "this is stolen property from someone's home?"

    a good deal is a good deal... but agreeing to take something you believe has been acquired illegally brings the negative karma into YOUR life.

    it truly amazes me what people will do (that they know deep down is wrong) all in the name of "saving money".

    I agree 100% with you i yelled at them and i told them they got what they deserved and how stupid could they be for buying something from a random person on the street that they knew nothing about.

    here is the thing about its

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_van_speakers

    This happened last year and a few days ago they came up to my roomate again, and they asked him if he wanted some speakers...needless to say my roomate told them to :cens0r::cens0r: off

    Did you send them any wants to buy your horse .I received several emails last night after i left here from the scum scammer by the way.Its so funny because she apologized saying she never meant for this to happen ,i guess she thought she would never get busted .I told her i have several freinds and we will be watching her IP addy for anymore attempts at scams.She said she will never try it again
