yet another

Sorry I know this is getting old but
I kind of feel obligated to report
these people so decent people
don't get taken -
so I'm going to keep posting the
email add. and the message -
pretty sure they must have
message templates.
ALSO if you think it's too good to be true
... it is.

jnharris41@hotmail.com - SCAMMER
I am interested in buying your item and sending to my Grandsonthat recently traveled to abroad (Nigeria) for a researchprogram.Also,I will pay you $1,000 for the payment includingshipping of this item. This item is to be shipped directly fromyou to Grandson address at abroad via Usps Express Mail Service (EMS) .My mode of payment isPayPal.Kindly close the auction and get back to me with yourpayment details so i can make the payment asap.Thanks


to be fair,
I have gotten some legit offers from craigslist
but they generally try to get it for less
or trade you for something worse.
It's human nature to look out for yourself
so don't believe that someone will pay you
$300 more than the asking price for shipping.
In real life, it ain't gonna happen.

I am interested in finding out HOW they
rip you off using your paypal account.
Let me know.
I figure they just get your email add.
and clog your email up with spam?
Dunno.

Have a good weekend!
and don't get scammed!

more scammers on craigslist!

dougweidman152@gmail.com
totally tried to scam me with the same exact email as yesterday's scammer

this is the email (I've gotten the same one twice with very little difference):

Thanks for your reply and am glad to know that it is still for
sale.However i have few questions on the products you are selling.
1,I would like to know the reason you are selling it..?
2,What is the current condition of the item..?
3,What is your firm price, though am okay with the listing price..?
4,Do you have the receipt for it ..?
5,Would you please allow me to pay through paypal even though i will
add an extra dollars to cover the shipping because am currently not
local at the moment,I want to purchase it for my son studying in Oversea (fountainal)as a birthday gift.I'll be offering you $860 for the item cost including the local shipping cost.i want you to get back to me with your Confirmed PayPal email account so that i can make an instant payment to your PayPal account.


also got this one:

Greetings

Hello there... is your item still available for sale...?get back to me ASAP

I only noticed this one because it was on another scamming website.
I've noticed that people you are scamming you not only use the word "product/item" but also they use "..." A LOT!
also the double greeting is just weird.
ohhh and also they've offered me more for my "item" than I was asking (I naively assumed that it was for insurance and shipping )

I'll keep updating you, I'm sure I'll have more
although I think I may have found a real one (lol just bc she low-balled me like crazy)

bottom line - don't sell to someone unless you can see their face and don't let go of the "product" unless you have cash in hand ( I read on one of these scam catcher sites that even cashiers checks can be faked - so if you get one meet them at the bank and cash it there.)

so disappointed in these people, they are the reason the world is so messed up

Scammers on Craigslist

Please be Aware:

melissabruce40@yahoo.com is a scammer.

"she" contracted me through craigslist,
saying that she wanted me to by my laptop
that was for sale and that she was "out of the area"
at the moment and could I please
give her my paypal info
so she could do an instant deposit

I'm not sure how she was planning to rip me off
but when I googled her name
it came up with virtually the same exact story -
a blogger complaining that this "melissa" person
had tried to rip them off in a computer scheme

anyway here's the details so that
you don't fall for the same story
if she changes her name

she asked me pretty normal questions
but instead of saying laptop - she always
said item or product/s
she also said she was currently out of the area
and that she was buying this as a b-day gift for her kid
who was studying overseas
she wanted to use paypal

I never would have suspected her,
but my friend that uses craigslist a lot
told me to google her email address
just to be sure
and sure enough
SCAMMER.

ugh horrible people make me so angry.
Haven't you got anything better to do with your time?
ugh.

Senior Year!!!

Senior Year.
Thank goodness it's almost over :)
...you know before the next
hundred years of school.

I'm taking:
Cognitive Psych,
Tests & Measures,
The Life Cycle,
and
A Narrative Perspective
of Culture and Ethics

Only two of my classes are
online this semester, which is fine
but this campus
has very small class sizes,
which makes attendance mandatory
and presentations possible :(

In fact, I already have to give a presentation
in Cognitive Psych :(
It's not until November,
but we all know,
I'll be worrying about it until then.

Applying for another job in the morning,
this one is with a financial corp., and
sounds like a really good fit.
It's full time but the hours
already mostly fit around my classes.
It's an administrative assistant position too,
so I'm sure I would do well at it.
Fingers Crossed!!!

Have a good first week back!

metro

Metro PCS just fixed my phone in like a second.
(I couldn't send text messages or get to my voicemail)

Indian Metro PCS man - You Rock!




still looking for a job!!! there's nothing out there!

Things that bother me:
gritty floors
certain individuals
condensation
grimy things
mirrors that cannot be rid of their swirl-marks

School:
School starts the 24th :(
2 weeks of summer is not enough.
I was taking 18 hours Fall semester
BUT
I cut it down to 12 because otherwise
I'll only have one class to take
spring semester.
I could have just added
that one class to this semester
BUT
then I'd have to get my own insurance
because I'm not prepared
for grad school yet.
GRE, volunteer work, letters, etc...

Job:
Not looking too good at the moment.
I found one job at a drug rehab facility
but it was only on the weekends and
it was for the 11pm-7am shift.
which I'm sure is why
it's vacant in the first place.
I'm a little worried about the added stress,
but I should try.
I think I'm going to work at Sky King
until I can find something related to psychology.
I also need to get busy volunteering

Tomorrow:
7 am - get blood drawn AGAIN because
Quest didn't take enough on Monday.
Seriously, they called and said that.
8 am - Take Slate to get neutered. :(
8:30 am - out to Pat's for pavers, and shed
9 am - get pressure washer
and tree/bush clippers
9:30 am - pressure wash the house ALL DAY.

Also moving sucks because,
you get double bills that month.
Double Electric
Double Water - which costs wayyy more here
Double Cable/Internet

Mini reunion on Monday!!! :)
AND Pat's home the next TWO days!

2 weeks until fall classes :(

Just finished my last class for this summer.
Two weeks until fall classes.

time to start looking for a job
I hate hate hate job hunting.
I always feel so awkward, asking people for a job
All the jobs I've had so far have been
word of mouth jobs

Well I'm going to be alone for like the next 3 days
since Pat got transferred here
and didn't tell the boss lady his hours
so shes working him to the bone.
Anyway, I'll have plenty of time to look for jobs.

Wish me luck.

Moved in to the house officially yesterday.
Mischief doesn't care at all but
Slate keeps hiding under the bed covers -
which he's never done.
Poor Baby I feel like doing that a little too
especially last night when there were a million dishes to do
- no dishwasher
I have the feeling we'll being eating out a lot.

Ah I'm just grumpy at the prospect
of being alone for the next 3 days.

Have a nice weekend!
K.

What goes around
comes around.

So the house is coming along.
It looks a billion times better now that it's nearly clean
and has some fresh paint up.

Electrician - Wednesday
Carpenter - Today
AC guy - Today
Comcast guy - Friday
Furniture - Friday

So everything HAS to be done inside by Friday.
Geez
