The Mind Is A Terrible Think To Waste.
Be careful of fraud
# 1
I swear, the people that fall for this deserve to have their money stolen. I only send money over the internet with paypal or credit card to trusting websites such as Amazon, ebay, here, ect. It it was some "private" charity, no way, If I see one on the street, I always drop in some money.

One of those scammers popped up in my yahoo instant messenger window once. It didn't take long at all for me to realize, but as I was kinda bored at the time I led them on like I was ignorant and interested. I think they gave some sob story about a rich relative's inheritance money. They were friendly throughout the extensive set-up story. All he needed was my checking account #. I told them I'd like to do business with them, but I'd need to shake their hand first, as that's how we do "bidness" here in Texas. He tried a lil more, but while keeping on that I was interested, I insisted on a hand-shake. Finally sensing I was toying with him, he cussed me out and left.

If its a person I'll have them go through the whole 10 yards about the object, then I'll tell them I'm only 15 or something. When they ask for my mom or dad, I'll tell them to hold on and hang up.

One hilarious (but not family friendly) site on 419 scams can be found by googleing "ebola monkey man".

Speaking of telemarketers, this site might come in handy.
Just last night a lady called trying to sell me Earthlink Internet service, but I played the old hard of hearing game. "What? Speak up! Who? Sausage link? Nah...can't eat sausage, bad for my cholesterol."

In this way one crime begets another.
