Is This A Scam?
. Jun 23 08 01:08 pm Link Sure as hell, somebody will post another scam email later today, with a different name or a slight variation in the wording, either to ask all wide-eyed and innocent if it's a scam, or to "warn us about the new scam". Jun 23 08 01:10 pm Link  got fed up hm Tx?Jun 23 08 01:10 pm Link QFT...if ONLY new models would READ this rather than posting BS scam threads over and over Jun 23 08 01:11 pm Link can a mod sticky this?

Jun 23 08 02:58 pm Link i have yet to see one in my inbox ppl need to take their emails off! Jun 23 08 03:03 pm Link Can we get this in Bold at the top of every forum ? Jun 23 08 03:11 pm Link  Jun 23 08 03:13 pm Link Best thread ever!! Jun 23 08 03:16 pm Link Yup. I almost got scammed for that $2,500 job. Good thing I didn't go for it. *grins* It was very fishy, especially when they said I'd be getting 4 money orders and blah blah blah. GAY! Jun 23 08 03:28 pm Link Word. If something seems to good to be true...... you know the rest. Jun 23 08 06:21 pm Link There are a few new "Is this a scam" threads... so I thought i'd give this friendly little thread a hefty BUMP! Jul 16 08 08:12 pm Link I think we just need a "Roger Says..." forum, put these in there, and a check box on the registration page for each new profile that says they read this. I STILL refer to the "Posts the will end badly", although I almost never see people shouting out numbers anymore.  Jul 16 08 08:49 pm Link helloMy name is M... oh nevermind. Jul 16 08 09:12 pm Link It's too bad the software doesn't notice the word "scam" in a subject heading and then just deep six it and toss the poster in the brig for awhile.

Jul 16 08 11:48 pm Link I know this must sound quite thick, but what is it about these that makes them so noticeable? I'm really new to this and would like to know how things are normally delt with as i have been contacted by someone already and would like to be able to tell who to trust (so to speak), and who not to. If anyone would like to even PM me with some guidence that'd be great, but i think it would help alot of us newbs if someone could help with this. Sorry to be such a geek, thanks. Jul 26 08 09:37 am Link You know it's weird I have never once been sent a scam message or email.. not even once... WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?! haha  Jul 26 08 09:41 am Link I love it when they include the words "this is not a scam" Jul 26 08 09:46 am Link Cara Francis wrote: Read the OP. The guidance is there.

But I kept looking for where they wanted my job, SS, age, and sex. Jul 26 08 12:47 pm Link Bump Aug 06 08 05:03 pm Link Oh boy,then who should we trust? How can we possibly know?I meant when the email is sent from Patagonia (it's a joke!!) it's quite obvious but when it looks and sound legitimate,witha good presentation,details and all...well,then what?!Trouble!! D Aug 11 08 06:15 pm Link My wife received a couple of those scam emails; she's a veterinarian!  Aug 11 08 06:18 pm Link TXPhotog wrote: Hahahahaha. HOW long did it take you to type this Roger?

Aug 11 08 06:22 pm Link Chances over zealous newbies won't even read what you just posted. People these days either ask questions first, read later or act first, ask questions later Good luck with that.

Sep 22 08 04:13 pm Link Actually, I think someone should bump this every ten minutes, which seems to be the period of time between each new "Is This A Scam?" thread. Sep 22 08 04:15 pm Link |
