Well, i'm jobless, been checking craigslist out, and sending some emails. This particular one said it was local. They liked me. Too bad it's not actually local or a job i actually go to work at somewhere other than home (don't want to work from home). Indeed there's no "brondcleantech o computer systems" where i live. So, i wanted to find out more for ****s and giggles.
Not the best english, but not too shabby for scammers (i'm sure everyone's seen worse english from scammers, at least this one is fully understandable). They definitely don't detail what will be coming in the mail first, and i certainly don't see why i should send the difference in money to the shipping agent (the shipping agent gets paid by them to send the crap to me, the difference in money should be used by me to send the crap back).
Just basic scam. I would cash a fake check and get ****ed by a bank...in the ass. Meanwhile, they would make some profit off my sorry ass if i western unioned them the difference before i got ****ed.

Virus. Virus. VIRUS!
Email them the most malicious and destructive virus available to you. And perhaps cause them to get a visit from the 4Chan party van.

I'm not entirely sure what i want to do about it. Just that i know that i do. Taking suggestions for now.

Turn the scam back around on them. Indicate that there is a fee for wire transfers through Western Union, and you will need them to send you an advance to cover the cost. If that works, follow their playbook by indicating that there was trouble with the wire service, and you will need more money to get it sorted out. See how long you can make them think you're the naive one, when you're the one getting their money.

@BlueFlames do bots really respond to that kind of thing, more or less even anything that has nothing to do with cash?

what would be the best way to acquire one, hack the US defenses because their online security has been routinely demonstrated to fail spectacularly, or buy $10 worth of dirty nukes(no offense) from russia not including travel fares?

its not rocket science (well the delivery system is, unless you can find some pissed off arab and a non-descript van).

I can already hear the intelligence agencies kicking your doors in...

if the feds were actually listening in on our corner of the internet, nuke's account would have gone silent a LONG time ago.

It's obvious that he was put through their sleeper program, to track down others like himself. ;)

If the botnet was set up by someone who actually wants your money, then that person will be monitoring some kind of point of contact, waiting for someone gullible to take the bait.

Nuke seems to be my largest barrier when the time comes for me to conquer this world. You will be a worthy rival dictator, should I not be planning to eradicate you from orbit. :p
-
World dictators are like Highlanders; there can be only one. I'm sorry to say Nuke will probably win since FireSpawn isn't as psychopathic, and so unlikely to do large-scale purges of uncooperative elements or attract the necessary ruthless generals. And of course, if Nuke nukes the world in defeat, he wins since that was his goal all along. :P
-
Speaking of dictators, a lot of them are a lot like scam artists. :lol:

Be sure to nuke-proof your orbital vehicle.

as if they really know and care about a game that failed because of an incompetent publisher. I doubt they give a damn about us so freedom of speech rulez HLP! moderators on the other hand... :drevil:
especially wouldn't go near whoever owns Carl.
-
lmfao this thread. I'll see if i can lead them on with sending me money. I don't really have too much stride unless anyone else feels like ****ing with the scammer instead of me. There's the email if you want to pose as me and say oops here's my new email address.

yes do it S-99. Local to world police totally overlook viruses made by one person for non-anti-government purposes. If the facts were opposite then google wouldn't be allowed to show virus making stuff.
btw FireSpawn, unless you become a moderator tommorow or later i doubt you'll ever reach even prime minister much less even Canada becomes Soviet Canuckistan!

I had a beard, but Chuck Norris felt threatend by it, so he demanded I shave lest I attempt to withstand a space-time breaking roundhouse kick.
@yuezhi HLP will be the only place not to be under by thumb, if only because this place wouldn't be as much fun if it was moderated by my secret police. That and Dekker would do something like superglue a dildo to my face and post pictures of it on my facebook....

I'd welcome either one of you here in Poland, just get rid of these idiots that are currently running it (Nuke, you can aim at a big building radiating stupidity, it should be easily detectable even form Alpha Centauri). :)
-
if it was that obvious dragon then the fishies living their should've already come up with the stupid stereotype for us and never expect us to get into space and subsequently, claim a ton of systems, unite against them, make several peace treaties and break them, catch some traitors, win some lose some to another race(carl), join up with them and make a ceasefire, defeat whatever was eating both of us, form a permanent alliance with them against whatever it was that made the alliance sound reasonable in the first place, secede some systems, and ultimately start killing fishez. :lol:
and that is why our influence should be made obvious as far away as the magellanic clouds in order to warn any aliens out there to make some scamming countermeasure one step ahead of us before we end up turning them stupid. in short, :headz: up

wat? :wtf:

Aaaaand this is why you are a high priority target to me. I plan on dominating the lands shown on that map (not to mention LIVE somewhere on it), so your CAD (Completely Assured Destruction) scenario is unacceptable to me. As we speak, my psychic Kitten Kommandos are on their way to eliminate you.

Yep, with corporal Fuzzy 'HairBall' Huggington leading Delta Squad.
Sadly, Epsilon squad got wiped out when they were sent out to bring home some tacos last week.
