Liberal use of the word "fuck" - okay.
Telling her I think my son cut his finger off and I don't care - okay
Using vile racism to her - okay and in fact "lol"
Say "fake checks" - DING DING DING, red alarm, bail out!

I'll be contacting that bank tomorrow to let them know what happened.

I now feel bad I didn't get more people. My own "list" to save.

dribbling cum down her cleavage? what.

I was just trying to be as offensive as possible.

Apparently "tits" isn't in their English dictionary but "cum" is.


Holy shit, I'm gonna die from reading that!
lol, that's my bosses name.

haha, I know. I was like "wow, nothing?".

You forgot to block out your name in the second picture.

Also, don't these people have all your personal details?

Really? What area? The IT market seems to be decent around most of the big cities.

Oh yeah, if I moved it would be very easy to get a job. We're talking about moving right now in fact.

Oh crap. Changing that.

And yeah, they have my name, number, and address.

But worse come to worse, I expect to receive a check in the mail with them asking me to cash it and send it to them.

That sucks. Hope karma works out for those bitches. You're not alone though.. here.. i fell for this one; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIzU26ldGIg

In italy :\

My exgf and I both did..

Agh, I hope they're not too expensive. I don't know what's worse, taking advantage of someone in their home or when they're far from home.

Also, guy gets points for playing Brad Sucks in the background (and the appropriately titled "Making Me Nervous").

I'm right there with ya bro. Would love to bust one on those funbags.

It's going to be great to call up that Suntrust and tell them not to accept a check cashed from Downson Barry's account until they check it.

I only wish I could have had more. I wish I could saved all of them.

Hell, living there you can make pretty good money being a synthetic drug tester.

If you're talking about being a medical test monkey at Shands, I have considered that in desperation.

If you're talking about the easily to acquire street level drugs, I have to say the ones I've tried, especially out of UofF, have been over-rated... ;)

Haha, I was referring to Florida and bath slats. Not specifically Gainesville, sorry.

Sorry you fell for this dude. Don't use craigslist for jobs.

You are a hero though for biting the bullet and then that revenge chat was awesome lol.

Sorry, didn't get the joke. :p But yeah, my brother in law wants to do a "bath salts" party as a joke this weekend. Obviously there will be no bath salts and other than maybe someone bringing in weed, no drugs that alter the mind and make humans crave flesh. Just lots of salty food and some 28 Days/Weeks later.

*hugs*

Only 7 months unemployed right now, Ben, but I feel your pain. You'll find something.

*hugs* Man, I feel for you. Just keep trying and keep at it. I feel horrible for slacking some weeks. For example, the first few months I was actually enjoying my time off as I hadn't had an actual vacation in years and it was time to spend with my two and a half year old - since I had been working odd hours at my last job I only saw him in the mornings, then went to work and when I got home he was already asleep. That was hard, so getting a full day with him 7 days a week was fantastic.

Unfortunately, the longer you're unemployed it seems the harder it is to find work. I don't understand the concept: if someone can't find work within a certain time frame that makes them a poor employee prospect? In a state that teeters around 10-12% u/e rate each month, one of the poorest in the country? Even the temp agencies, who were so reliable to me in the past, are completely stumped with several closing up shop (including the huge nation-wide one that helped me get my first job down here after moving).

Not trying to scare you, just kind of venting.

I might be a hero to whomever might lose money due to that one fake check I was asked to make. I still feel incredibly dumb, but I've been making jokes to overcome this for a bit. The revenge chat really took me out of it - when I said "you have great tits" I had a sudden rush of fear that, what if this IS legit? But seeing "her" responses after that helped me get at ease and I feel much better now.

Though my wife says that I should try not to troll any other obvious scams in case one is actually legit and I reply to that legit job offer with something smart ass.
