Let's talk about scams, 419, Craigslist, eBay, etc.
Never had one of these before
he really thought someone who he hasn't spoken to in four years would just wire him some $$.

I'm not going to belittle an old "friend" by talking all high and mighty in a private chat.
let's talk about your dads arsehole
I thought the MLM memes would be here by now
your doing it all wrong
Ive been brainstorming ways to generate /x/ type of hype on an "artifact" and sell it on ebay

Listen to this one then; you open a company called the Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club. You take an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, sell it a bit with, er... I dunno, "does what no other dildo can do until now", latest and greatest in sexual technology. Guaranteed results or money back, all that bollocks. These dills cost twenty-five each; a snip for all the pleasure they are going to give the recipients. They send a cheque to the company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five. You put these in the bank for two weeks and let them clear. Now this is the clever bit. Then you send back the cheques for twenty-five pounds from the real company name, Arse Tickler's Faggot Fan Club, saying sorry, we couldn't get the supply from America, they have sold out. Now you see how many of the people cash those cheques; not a single soul, because who wants his bank manager to know he tickles arses when he is not paying in cheques!

Tbh, it's not as bad, it's not like you're hurting anyone.
Only idiots
You're basically teaching people a lesson on how to not get scammed, after you take $5,000-$20,000 out of their savings though.

ahaha good movie. lock stock and 2 smokin barrels right?
>>1020861
>post resume on the usual sites
>Get a few people contact you about sales positions
>all of them turn out to be MLM schemes
if your income comes from my work and you're not my boss then its a scam.
>>1020816
Where the FUCK is Mr. Pibb
>>1020805
And yet you belittle him enough to not offer a paltry 30 bucks. Not saying I would, but don't try and mask your disdain for him.
>>1020799
This is high on the list of reasons I don't keep in touch with people or "network." What a huge waste of time and energy dealing with shit like this
I got a $400 monitor today for $35
the scam?
the seller was retarded as fuck, possibly mental.
>>1021339
Mr. Pibb is NOT a fucking DR.
>>1021344
>Sending $30 to a guy you haven't spoken to in years that wants you to wire transfer
I bet you cry every time one of those slow tune charity commercials come on
If he was in any real problems he would've called
>>1021367
Sometimes I sell expensive shit for cheap just because I'm too lazy to throw it away desu. But that's mostly furniture. But I'd do the same with a tv as well.
>>1021461
Then I just want someone to come pick it up and get rid of it for me.
>>1020796
>Craigslist
>I have some really cheap used stereo equipment to sell to you.
>You can pick it up at my home.
>>1020796
While not a scammed, I got fucked over on eBay due to my own incompetence.
I bought some german silver bars. Being me, I figured that they were silver from Germany as they had a german cross and eagle and such imprinted on them. However, "german silver" is a nickel/copper alloy. Having realised this, I reread the listing which indeed did not say anything about what the bars contained.
Caveat emptor indeed. Only got myself to blame, though. Will probably try and resell using the same tactic.
Wow, Onoh, our resident nigger, wants to have a scam thread. What a surprise. Once a nigger, always a nigger.

everything is a scam when you examine it in finer detail.
The whole of human society is a scam being run on the 99.99% by the 0.01% and people wonder why theyre getting scammed all day.

Uh, because it's free. Nothing is free, most people are just paranoid if they won $1,000,000 RH would freeze it claiming you're doing something wrong and hold your funds till you used up 1/4 of the win to sue them for it.
I mean you've seen the inventors of the app, it's just college kids.
P.s. most people in RH threads have dynamic ISPs, so if you see 3+ replies on a stock, it's most likely the same person.
too much attention?
1.tell church you will donate millions of dollars

Oh shit, so what you're telling me is that I shouldn't put more than a couple thousand in there, so that if I lose it all I won't be hurting? Basic common sense investing advise?
>>1022073

or you could just go get crabs
a lot easier
>>1022075
Use it as a means of income. Keep your principal in there, and immediately extract any earnings. Don't risk more than you're willing to lose. It's basically gambling, and it takes self control, so if you don't have any, you probably shouldn't invest. If nothing else, it's an excellent way to learn the market for young people like me.

>infecting dollar store panties one at a time yourself
>not scalable, not able to delegate labor

Tl;Dr: So the mailmen threw away hundreds of mail because they didn't feel like delivering that many packages, yet they took the holiday shifts...
I was thinking of buying a Real Doll and renting a room and advertising on Craigslist, just charge 80$ an hour to thirsty betas in my city to have bareback sex with it.
There's no shortage of thirsty betas in Vancouver.

I was thinking of leasing a NY 3bed room apt and making it a 10bed room apt with curtains/dry wall.

Clearly I can tell the shit is fake
>Tell him I don't accept $50+ bills (he had x2 $100)
>He tells me the bodega right behind us (literally) would not exchange
>I worked at said so bodega
>tell him they will if I go with him, then ask him to turn around and meet me there
"I have to go to work" -8PM
I tell him I can't accept the high bills and would really like for him to take his time to look at the phone.
He then agrees to get change and drives off, but doesn't come back...
CL in general is shit desu
Once took a three hour bus ride to buy someone's iPad few years back
Kept them updated on where I was throughout so they would know how much I really wanted the iPad. 10min there they reply with
"My wife is at the hospital, I'm going to have to cancel"
Last time I ever left my town to buy something on Craigslist
ffs I used to go to New York to buy iPhones, had to stop by McDonalds to get wifi on my iPod for location.
Even taking a fucking Peterpan bus for 2 hours up state to then wait 8 hours for the next one going home, just to buy some damn phones.

This is my friend. Known the guy for like 15 years, but recently he begs for money all the time.
>"cmon dude, it's just $2, why you gotta be like that?"
It was $2 this morning too. $15 yesterday. He used to be cool, but his motto these days is "always be hustling." I avoid talking to him these days because of it. He's already driven another friend off and he's rapidly pushing me away.

you dumb fuck
I tried using Facebook group sales a month ago myself, shit is full of thieves/scammers. Mostly MLM scammers that start threatening you through private message when you call them out.
Or the usual iCloud dumbasses that don't know if they steal an iPhone, even it doesn't have a passcode, it's still locked since the user never signed out of iTunes.
Only group I'm in now is "Lost cars" etc. Hilarious seeing people have their whole car stolen.
I managed a who's who vanity scam for 6 years, including spamming, email spidering, bugging employees phones, and playing questionable games with. Credit cards. Taking questions.
