Scam and LE doesn't care?...

[OxFuckedInTheAss]

...So, my wife gets this hit off of craigslist for some furniture we are trying to sell...She gets email from a lady saying she wants the item...Now mind u, she(wife) doesn't even have a pic of it on craigslist and she (this lady) is from texas supposely...

So, this lady tells my wife that she will send her a check for the item...Great!...Well, a day later the lady emails my wife and tells my wife that her (the lady)bank made a mistake and cut the check for 2500 bones...Then she instructs my wife to cash the check at her (wife) bank and send the rest to this lady via wu...And also tells her she needs to do it by 5:00pm that day...

Thank goodness my wife checked with me first...This scam is old and I reconized it right of the bat...

Well, I advised my wife to call the authorities and to let them know whats up...CAn u guess what the local law enforcement agency told her?...

That scam has been going on for a while now. I have recieved similar emails to that.

some people tried doing that to me when i was selling my surfboard. was selling it for 300 and they send me a check for 6000....told me to use their shipping company, out of texas, the lady i was emailing was out of georgia and the check came from new york...

 

[Mr.G]

I would take the check & tell her to lose my number. Let them work a little bit to send the check & throw it away.

*LOL*...I can only imagine...

However, when u say it's small time, can u imagine how many people she has got to this?...That would add quick...But the reason I posted this was becasue your point regarding it's small time crime is why I wanted to run this by everyone and get their heresay on...

I mean, I have over the few years being on these boards, seen alot of bro's go down for supps...and I can't imagine that people who bb and take supps would be a priority for LE...As a matter of fact, don't u think that on the totem pole of LE regarding crime that LE would see bb and supp usage/sales as even less important than scammers?...There is a very small percentage of bro's in the world...WE have a world population of around 7 billion people now...Do u realize how many people out of that vast number lift, much less dable with supps?...I would imagine it is extremely low...How many scams are in the world and how many out of the 7 billion people get involved in such behavior?...I don't have exact figures, but I would be willing to bet, that the number is way higher, and u mean to tell me that that isn't more important that busting people for supps usage, especaillly when the number is extremly low compared to the other crimes committed world wide?...

What's your take bro?

very classic scam...

the sad thing is the elderly people in this Country fall for it because they do not understand.

VERY SAD...I hear of retired people losing 50% to all of their retirement due to scams like this.

SAD TOO is how we leave our elderly of this country to suffer...we help out just about everyone but our elderly...I would like to open a nonprofit organization that helps people 60 and over...from the UNITED STATES...then span around the world.

She doesn't have our number, but we did already get the check...Then we called LE...LE doesn't give a rats ass, and whats sad is, we have all the evidence for them *LOL*...Emails,physical check,ect...They pick and choose what crime they want to go for...It's all political...

I can remember when the ord went down, the online LE that had infilterated the boards would come on saying shit like "it still is agiaint the law", like they didn't care how minute the crime it was the LAW...See my point?...LE is twofaced...If they (LE) feel like supps are a crime, no matter how little of a crime, and it's neccessary to spend millions perhaps billion of dollars to bust people for it, why in the world would they (LE)feel like scam artist are not as important?...CAn u imagine the amount of money that is lost due to scams...

that is truly sad that LE didnt want to do anything about it. It could be due to the fact though that she hasnt actually broken the law yet since the check hasnt been cashed. I guess they could set the lady up though by letting your wife cash it and then following through to catch her. You can bet though that if it was someone trying sell a $30 bottle of test that they would do whatever it took to bust the person.

Whats sad also is that there are less good hearted people in this world...And even sadder, is the fact that a large percent of authority figures that are in charge of us, are wicked...So, they could care a less about the elderly or the mass of the pouplation...hence why mass majority of the world is starving to death, when there is an ample supply of food to go around...LE should be ashamed as well as their superiors for running countries the way they do...Those are the ones responisible for most of the atrocities that go on...let me stop, I could go on and on...I have so many stats regarding how people over the milliniems have been suppresed by thier leaders...It's really sad...

Well the check was bogus, the account doesn't exist...We called the bank to check...Also, this lady was claiming that she was in texas, yet the bank was in cali...So, her trying to pass off a bad check is illega,not only is it bad, but the account doesn't exist...Also, we did ask them to set her up...They don't care...

You can bet though that if it was someone trying sell a $30 bottle of test that they would do whatever it took to bust the person.

thats exactly why i posted this bro...I wanted to show u guys, just how political this ord is...Of course I've been realizing for years that authority is corrupt...They are not after our best interest...sure, there are few that are good, but they are not in charge...

I got one for you, Some scumbag lady tapped into my business credit card, 3 years ago. She actually charged $1000 at Walmart, can you believe that? Well, I always check my accounts with my bank everday and caught her in the act. My Bank informed me the last charge was at a hotel. I called the manager and she still was there. So, I called the police and told her she was at the hotel. They would not go there, they said they had to talk to me first, so they showed up at my business, 3 hours later. Yes, she was gone by that time. Hey, but if I showed them a bottle of D-ball, they would arrest me on site, wouldn't they.

Wow!...doesn't suprise me bro...this incident isn't the only one i've encountered like this either...It just shows, once again, LE is not for our best interest...

yeah they would, and u would get 10 years with the new upgraded law..l.

My buddy fell for this scam a few years ago. We all told him not to do it but he's an idiot. 4500 he had to pay back his bank. Nigerian scam it was called or something like that.

 

[The Myth]

The same here bro'....

I have some BMW wheels and tires off of my 5 series and I get about 2 emails a day from these guys. So I get a chance to say "F**k Off" at least twice a day in my responding emails to these punks.

I firmly believe that LE will only go where the money/publicity is. There is nothing to gain from busting old school gullible housewife crime like there is from supps. All it takes is a small bust from some bathtub guy to be plastered all over the national news.

Someone broke into my garage and stole my wallet and laptop out of my car, my kirby vaccum and steam cleaner, random tools etc... basically in the high thousands of $ I had survailence of vehicles and people at 2 gas stations where they tried to use my paypal card multiple times. Cops come out say they can do nothing but go file a report. I go file a report and flat out tell me theres nothing they can do because they didnt come into the home and harm anyone, i had no receipts for what they stole, and an officer would have to get the survailence video, not me and go over and question each person to see if it were them or not and that wasnt going to happen. I was also told that if i pursue it myself i could be arrested. Then proceded to give me shit and make sure i wasn't going to go drive home from the station because i didn't have a valid license on me as it was stolen. I had to assure them my girlfriend was picking up some food and would be back for me before i could leave.

So yea, i am very very sure that the $2500 isn't shit to them regardless of how many times it's been done. Someone else posted a similar story here not long ago and LE basically told them tough shit.

yea bro, the way it works is, there basically is no trace to the guy who is phishing at all other than the western union info, and even then they have some cracked out gopher pick up the $ for them. They rely on you to continue to be gullible and go either deposit the check in your account, or since its not a very large amount, if you are at your regular back they will go ahead and cash it for you. You then proceed to in good faith, return the money as quick as possible via western union that day. 4-7 business days later the money is taken from your checking account along with fee's for passing a bad check and you have no recourse and they have their cash in hand. It's actually quite clever
