A scam?

[PILOON]

I am aware of two guys that got scammed by pretty faces on the internet.
Both sent money for airfare and naturally a sick mother enters the picture delaying her departure so more $$'s leave to help mother.
In one case the pretty face actually came to roost in order to further enrich herself and also scam the guy's mother.
That one was one slick operator! She then took his $$'s supposedly to start a business for the 2 of them in the Dominican Republic.
Once she departed he never heard from her again.

For sure you can't fix stupid no matter how hard you try.

No happy ending?

I seen one and I played along. Said I had a cd coming due and to hold the tractor for me, until I could cash it. They kept sending me e-mails wanting to know when they would get the money. I sent them a picture showing a stack of $100 bills and said as soon as I could find a way to send the money safety as I didn't want to lose the money in the mail. I asked them to send me a picture of their drivers license and other I. D because I was going to ship the money UPS and it would require proper ID to accept package. That's the last I heard. A lot of them use G-mail accounts and not through Craig list and if you respond to then them you start receiving ads on viriga and other junk ads.

just because you can't sign in to you tube doesn't mean you can't watch a vid.. you just don't have access to playlists, pref's, age restriction stuff, etc.
