SCAM WARNING

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

SCAM WARNING

Post by Metal Vendetta » Tue Mar 04, 2008 10:44 pm

I just found out about it at this website here. Please tell everyone you know, as these people are clearly without morals and it's all too easy to send $4,000 through Western Union to a complete stranger for an imaginary and intangible product.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Magical delusions and fairy gods are all the same to me.

How stupid can people be.

I know what you're thinking, folks... is he gonna make a Predabot joke, is he gonna make a Seibertron joke... is it going to be a Portsmouth joke?

Well, in this case I'm going to take the high road and just let the comment lie...

Seriously tho, I recall back in the game Ultima Online, when people used to scam other people out of gold.

the Dev teams used to have a team of workers dealing with scams all day long, in the end they shut the scam report team because they felt people just needed to use some common bloody sense...

Now now. There's nothing funny about mental illness.

Unless it's Parkinsons. Or Tourettes. Maybe autism...

Doesn't that fall under Seibertron jokes?

A conversation I once had with an autistic kid:

“Spencer, what do you think about the notion of a venomous rooster-chicken and what kind of damage that could do to like, large groups of people?”
I laughed and said, “Well, the problem is maybe that a venomous rooster-chicken isn’t exactly real, and since it’s in your imagination, you’d have to imagine the results.”
“Yes, but what would you think about it?”
“I guess it would be pretty cool.”
“What would you think about maybe like if there were a tom turkey and a venomous rooster-chicken? Do you think the venomous rooster-chicken would be able to fight the tom turkey?”
“Uh—”
“What we should do, Spencer, this is what we should do, is we should get like a barn, or an old house outside of town and get a venomous rooster-chicken and a tom turkey and we should put them in the barn and see what happens, like which one could do the most damage.”
“Yeah.”
“Spencer, you know what we should do is we should get on the internet and look at the data, and see what kind of damage a venomous rooster-chicken could do to large groups of people.”
“Well, Greg, it might be hard to find that information on the internet—”
“Spencer, about this venomous rooster-chicken we’ve been talking about, do you think that the venomous rooster-chicken would have its venom in its spurs?”
“Maybe. Could be the beak—”
“Yeah, but what do you think about the venomous rooster-chicken having the venom in its spurs?”
“I guess it would have it in the spurs—”
“I know!”
