Wreck1 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 true, but if you try to deposit that shit to your bank, you might get charged if it dont pay ... plus if she sent it in pounds the bank WILL put the check on a hold because it is foriegn currency and it could take up to 90 days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreck1 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 what is the powerbook scam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Most likely is a scam. You should have the bank account anyway. You should just give her the run around as long as possible and see what happens. Try to get her to do ridiculous stuff like show you naked pictures of her with an eye-patch. Shit like that..

John Birch Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 did you ever think of asking her for her personal info? just to see. but yeah this is def a variation of the powerbook scam...plus if you can't find a roomie in boston, then your a loser...I have like 10 freinds looking for roommates in town(no writers though, sorry)...

My girlfriend's roommate was supposedly buying "exclusive grant info" and they asked for her bank account number for payment. They ripped her off for $350. There is no way of getting your money back, because direct transactions are not-insured. Credit card is the way to go when paying for crap, because most of the time your bank will back you up.

dobsilla Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i didnt read much of this thread but my opinion is shes some slut who ran out of dudes to spread aids to and wants to come infect the US. dont do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Kate to call you personally and that you would like to explain the situation. Tell her a rushed cashier's check will seal the deal.

Guest ctrl+alt+del Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 isnt there a way to track down ips? i know, for instance, if someone goes to a certain page of mine, i can get their ip which will take me to a map of where they are, so itd be easy to see if shes lying about where she lives. BUT ON THE THE REAL, you gotta get a picture man. even if you are getting scammed, and you are, get something out of this, maybe the person will send you a pic of some myspace btich we recognize and then youll know for sure its a scam. just get the pics aight.

Guest Sparoism Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hell, let's all call him. Better yet, let's call HER! Also I'd be asking her- why is she so desperate to move to the States? Shit, this place is gonna turn into the Soviet Union any minute. I smell a Nigerian crackhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C.Shadow Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 on it I also feel like the BOSS is the dude trying to scam. 1988 I'll work on that number as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sparoism Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Good point about the IP...I don't know if this helps, but there's a extention on Firefox called Show IP that tells me the IP of the page I'm on. I don't know if you could use it to establish where she is, but....you should be using Firefox, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.C.Shadow Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 I use firefox, but how could I track using gmail? That would be the best/easiest solution. If the IP is from New Jersey, I'm gonna fuck with this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
