wmw999 2,146 #2 February 28, 2014 He's kind of cute; I got an email from him too. We'll be in trouble if scammers ever find a native English-speaker to write for them, or actually learn something about skydiving so they can ask intelligent questions. Could be that they're just looking for more pictures so they can re-sell phantom gear. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogers 0 #3 February 28, 2014 I always send them a fake Western Union MTCN number so that they'll run down to the office to pick up their big score, only to be embarassed when they find out it's not real and there's no money. When he writes back, tell him you mis-typed the number, apologize, and give him another one that's close to the first one. He'll run to the office again... See how many times you can f**k with him before he catches on. Scam the scammers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
