I just talked to a guy in his mid 50s that works at Burger King last week that asked to barrow money from me. He was going to send it to some "company" so he could receive his 2 million dollar sweepstakes winnings. He had already sent them $300. to "secure" his winnings but still "owed" them $1700. He was not happy with what I told him and refused to believe it. I think I finally convinced him to speak to the police about it before he sent them any more money. These are the kinds of people they hope to stumble upon.

Walking into a Target store here late last week,a man approached me asking if I would buy his 4 $20 gift cards for $80.."Good at any Target store",he added.I asked why he didn't just go inside and spend them.
He said he never shops here.I said then go to another Target store,they're good at any Target store.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
He glared back at me,so I asked to see them..he paused awhile,then pulls out the 4 gift cards,with the bottom 2 looking suspicious.
I'm no Target employee,but they sure looked homemade to me,and I think on shiney paper too,not plastic like I've always seen.
I told him I'll bet Target will buy them back from you,as that's their new policy during these tough times.
He said "why don't you just buy them from me,and you could do that?"
I said you're right....stay here & I'll ask a customer service rep to come outside with me to verify.
He said that's fine,I'll wait right here.
I turn to him once I'm in the store.
..I've never seen a middleaged man walk that fast towards a waiting Scion before in my life.

I had a great one of those guys respond to an ad I ran on craigslist last week. Asked for the same info except for the picture and did the usual will pay extra money that I am to give to the shipper routine via western union and all that. So when I responded I gave him the head of the Newark FBI offices name to send it to along with the office address and reported it to the FBI at the same time. Wouldn't you know it two days later he sent me an e-mail with a tracking number from UPS for the fake check and he actually sent it to the Feds.

I love idiots some times but I have to think how many poor people has he nailed with his scam in the past.
