Look for "Verified by Visa" and help yourself.
But surely people just aren't that stupid ? #

Oh, wait, hang on, sorry. My bad.
Serves 'em right #

Serves the stupid twats right.
If anyone still insists on supplying their banking details even despite being repeatedly told not to, let them stand as a warning to others.

I know it is wrong, but a part of me thinks that anyone stupid enough to pass over their credit card details to someone who says they want to give them money, rather than take it, deserves all they get.
I know, the rest of us should protect those less fortunate in the intelligence department. I feel suitably ashamed.

We'd never pay that much for one of ours - think best you get is a tenner and that's if you give up like two hours of life for our pointless queries - how to spot a scam from a mile off :D
Posting AC incase anyone at work sees this :D

Umm yes... Certainly people deserve to have their life savings wiped out and/or the hassle of identity theft because they enjoy an occasional Mickey D's burger and possibly are a few pounds overweight. Good reasoning there.

I found a site that offered to supply stolen details at $40 per 100. I arranged to buy 10,000 and paid the money; but am still waiting for the items. Looks like I've been conned
You can't trust anybody these days
Hint: What did P.T. Barnum say was "born every minute"?

If I hadn't already given all my banking info to a good hearted, god fearing woman from Nigeria who promised me part of her cocoa fortune, then i would gladly pay you Tuesday, for the hamburger i eat today.
Well burger me! #

The thought has occured to me, how do people pay for these lists. With stolen credit cards???
Using stolen credit cards to buy more stolen cards....
oh come on @AC 15:57 #
Posted Tuesday 2nd December 2008 11:00 GMT
you don't fall for this kind of scam...not in today's world where people SHOULD be so cautious and aware of anything sent to their email address.....
scams rely on exploiting people's cupidity and greed so someone who falls for this scam is blinded by their greed, stands to reason

Obama isn't president-elect. At moment, he's nothing more than a senator who won a popcon. A president-elect is somebody chosen by the electoral college and yet to be sworn in. That is all.
