mxr dad Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Dang, can I borrow a couple hundred thousand so I wont have to be a peasant? The saddest thing about all of these scams is......... if it didnt work they wouldnt do it. Hard to believe people fall for that. Same thing with Tele Marketers. If people wouldnt buy, the phone calls would cease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Travis In Austin Posted June 1, 2015 Moderators Share Posted June 1, 2015 Unfortunately it is frequently lonely elderly people who get caught up in these scams. It happens all the time. They fall for the one about being a secret shopper and the craigslist international money order scam. These are both old scams that can now be done anonymously instead if face to face. I actually was really approached by guys in a white van selling speakers about 30 years ago. Travis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I find it amusing that they try to leverage the authority of the UN. Any American automatically goes deaf when the UN is involved. It's like a telegraph: UN here, Scam Alert. smilie face rolls eyes yada yada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxr dad Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I remember about 25 years ago the White Van showed up on our construction job site. Just so happened to be around quitting time and one of the guys on my crew took the bait. I didnt know it was a scam at the time and evidently he didnt either. He had to go to ATM machine to get the money, so we followed him to store (so we could get a cold beer, you could do that back then and drive). I think he paid around $800.00 for a pair of tower speakers. I remember being envious that I couldnt afford such a great deal and I always remembered that deal cuz I wanted it too dammit! It was years later that I learned it was a scam and thankful I didnt bite. Oh yeah, that is a lot of money these days but back then it was A LOT of money to me. I guess raising kids does have a bright side!! LOL. Thats what kept me from being sucked in! Unbelievable they can still pull that scam off especially with the internet now days. Werent such a thing back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
