I'd be interested in who is fukcin with our name too.
I had to read that a second time. Was trying to figure out how you managed to spell "******" without it showing up as the stars. Guess my mind just automatically did some sort of auto-correct thing.

You mad bro?
Wow that's crazy, OP.
I was recently pm'd by a Nigerian prince that had a bevy of Southwests that needed to be sold, but he was stuck and couldn't get them into the US. He asked for my address and credit card number and said that if I just paid for the shipping, he would let me keep one of the ebony SW for free if I did him the favor.
What should I do? :scratchhead:

Wait until the princes sister calls, and asks for money to come to America and marry you....... :thumbup:
A TedX talk spoke about something like this, the person was talking about how we are setting ourselves up for failure the more we try make an accurate business model and prepare for every conceivable setback instead of just opening the business and changing things as you go. Of course this is a very abbreviated/inaccurate version but there was a part where she said one experiment which proves this theory is having people give out five $1 bills. They have the person go through their ideas on how to give them out, guess how their subjects will react to the propositions and then how many $1 bills they think they'll be successful in giving away.
Of course, you think, it will be easy to give $1 bills away so like these people you say "5" very confidently even if you don't have a good proposition for giving out the money...it's free money who would say no to that? Just like this situation you come across people who are skeptical, don't want to put forth the effort or are waiting for the scam to show it's ugly face. Nothing in this world is free (even if you pay $4 for the shipping) and we have all seen or been a part of a scam where someone lost something to a fast-talking slick salesperson, so we'll be damned if we're THAT GUY who ends up getting burnt.
Sorry Slim Limpy I'm sure you had great intentions and obviously a lot of passion for helping people out, but just like your response that told the whole forum to go fvck themselves your original communication probably could have been worded better which would have gotten a better result.

I'm always skeptical of a guy with 3 posts making a claim about something but if this actually happened it is mail fraud and a call to your local Postal Inspection Service is the direction to go if you want to pursue it.
That's one of the reasons to pay using Paypal........hacking your account is likely impossible since you do not have to maintain any balance in your Paypal account to remit any payments.
You send him the required info ASAP and maybe ask him if he will give you another one of those Southwest cues for free so you can give it to me for helping you out of course. :thumbup:
Ranks somewhere between mutated KFC chicken, and harvested kidneys. Good thing you "nevered" ordered.
(Ignoring the lack of an apostrophe for the time being...)
"Princes" is an amazing word. If you add an "s" it turns a plural into a singular and also changes the gender. :idea2:
