Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

In a word...yes.

That is a classic online scheme. In fact, I think the exact wording of some of his emails appears on the Craiglist Scam Warning site. They usually pay, get the item, then reverse payment. That's why I have never accepted anything except cash, and have never shipped anything that I have sold on C-list.

How does the scam function? I don't know what can be done with a paypal account (e-mail address) and name.

Answered my own question. It's not a scam, just poor paypal business:

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I have used PayPal dozens of times for BUYING stuff. I have never once used it to collect money from anybody. This is partly because of stories like the one in the video above, and partly because they charge fees to collect money on my behalf. I understand that is how they make money, but it is also my prerogative to not use the service in that manner.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I agree. It's like ATM fees, why should I pay someone else to get MY money.

Definite scam

...and get back to me with your paypal email address used and full name with total cost, so i can transfer the fund to it. Thanks"

Hope you told'em:

"Sure guy, here you go" [email protected] & my login: Mr. Lick Mychode

^^^ Funny enough I was actually thinking of saying my account was [email protected] and my name was John Smith

I feel as if the "engineer" in my title is officially neutered. Now I am being asked to review and approve all requisitions for material order prior to work even being planned. In three hours yesterday, I received 17 emails with over 100 items to order for the jobs. F*cking re-f*cking-diculous.

Just make sure you include the new cover sheet.

It won't be this way for long... :asthanos:

RRRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Do I have to create another f*cking policy? Why yes, I do. Tick tick tick

 

[Ble_PE]

 

[FLBuff PE]

New policy: No $hitting on a coworker's desk.

 

[Master slacker]

I'll have to make that policy after I sh*t on my boss' desk...

I'm currently combining that with a cold tasty beverage.
