Wile E. Coyote Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Tell him it's not available for a little while due to damage it sustained when it hit a crocodile this evening - remind him that it's a surprisingly common occurrence when fording the rivers round your neck of the woods... given he's from Scotland, he'll understand.

Norman Verona Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 I answered. Sorry, cash only. Funny but I've not had a response from that. Which Aberdeen is he from, the one in Nigeria? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was the name that got me. I noticed the Eastern European spelling of his first name but I've seen that before. The Police won't do anything as no crime has yet been committed and he's probably not in the UK. About time the world got together and dealt with these scammers. Just think, if I was a doddery old pensioner, I might have fallen for it. Er, hang on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0083 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Just think, if I was a doddery old pensioner, I might have fallen for it. Er, hang on..... Three out of four ain't bad. It's not the old pensioners, they were brought up in a sceptical world, where computers were never trusted and technology was always kinda feared. Then people my generation get all the warnings and well aware if the scams. It's the people in between, like my mother! She still leaves car unlocked and keys in car, just in case she looses them!!! When she came to Birmingham to visit I had to make sure she locked her car all the time! Now that's a country girl that grew up on a farm in the middle of the mendips, I think she's been north of Bristol about 6 times in her life!
