You hear of scammers all the time. Today at work I had more than one call with people having their credit cards stolen and needing to change their information with us.
People are dishonest assholes. And also people are just assholes. I am an asshole, but a smart one.
This stupid guy tried to scam me today. I guess you would have to be really stupid to fall for this shit.
I am selling my wedding dress online and I get a text that asks if I still have my dress, and if so, what condition is it in.
I said yes I do. It is in almost perfect condition.
Asshole says this: Ok that's great. and sorry for my late response. This is Steven Landsbury. I will offer you $80 for shipping and handling and $200 for the dress. And am paying you via Pay Pal Payment. I am located in Riverton, Utah, but I am currently out of state on an Official Assignment to California. I am purchasing it for my daughter as a wedding gift who lives in Houston, TX.
Me: Sorry, cash only.
Asshole: OMG!!! Ohhh...I understand how you feel. I promise if you can help me I will pay for the shipping including the item fees and any order charges and that is why I said we should use Pay Pal for the Payment cuz it's easier, faster, safer, and secure for both the sellers. And buyers online fastest way to pay and 100% fraud free for more info log on to www.paypal.com. Please I am really interested in this.
Me: Sorry, cash only.
Asshole: Nothing.
What do you think? Am I paranoid? Did I just lose $200?
