Same kind of email. He sent me a credit card number to pay for the order, but I haven't had time to do anything else yet.

You should email him back and offer to sell him an extra 10 at a higher discounted price. If it's a scam and fake card, he should "jump at the opportunity".

I just got an e-mail from Regions Bank that says that I need an account audit. If I send them my account number and password they will credit $20 to my account. The problem is that I don't have a Regions account...

Dang! Missed out again!

just make up an account number and password and send it to them. At least it'll suck up some of their time and take away from actually getting money from someone who innocently doesn't know any better.....


We had this telemarketer group that kept calling. When they'd call, I'd say "can you hold on a minute?" and set the phone down. After a minute or so I'd go back and say "hold on just one more minute", then a minute or two later, "almost done, hold one just one more second..."

then, finally, I'd say, "Alright, now I'm done..... I figure I made you waist about 5 minutes which is what your goal is to do pestering me to buy your product. Now do you really want to talk to me now to sell me something or what?" Oddly, they'd usually just hang up.

I work on an Air Force Base. We were having an inspection to see if the inspection team could break into our networks. I went to work and there was a notice on the guard shack at the gate that said "Do not open an e-mail with subject line "whatever". There is a large Marquee along the main road and the sign in bright red letters echoed the guard shack sign. I parked and headed into the building. On each doorway that I had to pass through to my job the same message was displayed. Then I logged into my computer and a large banner flashed on my screen. "Do not open an e-mail with the subject line whatever!"

Three-hundred people opened that message that morning. And responded with their username and password.

Sheesh! They public ain't trainable and scammers will always get some sucker to take the bait.

In the spirit of this thread I thought I'd post a link to (IMO) the most hysterical audio clip i've ever heard. Let me know your thoughts, and keep up the great work on this scammer!!
