I'm calling on the powers of DU!
 I'm trying to sell an old table on craigslist. and I got the typical scam of the miswritten check for to much money, please cash it etc.

Well at first, I thought this guy was local, since I just sold a few things and my guard was down. So I sent him my address and phone #.

(I have alerted the FBI internet division already).

I feel like a schmuck. But I wrote him back stating, since you appear to be in florida and not in Austin and since you sent the wrong amount for the money. I will tear up the check, since I don't deal with out of area buyers.

I wonder what his next move will be?

Any help? 


Another DUmmie who got fooled. Go Figure.

So what exactly has this guy lost?  Does he still have the table?

Beats me.  The way he makes it sound, all the scammer has is his name and phone number.  BFD.

I find it ironic that someone with an anarchist avatar calls on the federal government to help him out. :rotf: :loser:

Paranoid is the word,it is a normal state of being for a DUmmy.



Having said that.......to all that think there is an Internet risk of using a credit card.
You are more likely to have a problem in a local establishment then you ever will online.

Well come on DUmmy.  The show says you have to say the WHOLE chant in order to change into Mummra.

BY THE POWERS OF DUMBASS!!!!
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
