Mmm food for thought indeed

food for thought there indeed :-D

i wonder if any scammers are watching this thread **cringing**
there must be some out there :-0 :-0

waves~~~ :-0

how true Joy :-(

a scams a scam wether big or little
sometimes it the little scams that break a heart the most :-(

I always use them - used one once and it gave me more than I asked for and never recorded it - mentioned it to a friend and before you could say "knife" there was a queue!! It got shut down pretty sharply :-D

Had I not gone in the bank to query it they would never have known

l never use a hole in the wall cash thingie, never!! l get cash when shopping at supermarkets ,use the post office or bank :)

l was talking about big time scammers, lets leave it at that....nothing to do with being rr'd....there are plenty of threads up about that.
l got the info on my email this morning and was gobsmacked.

Ann pm me what you deleted please:)

Yep, scams all over.

I saw this advert the other day for some guy wanting money and promising he could contact a dead relative! Seems for £16 a pop you can go to his show and listen to him talking to dead people about about the colour of their front door and their favourite cardigan!

Who would fall for that, tsk.

when I withdraw cash from an ATM I alwys check it out first to make sure there's nothing there that shouldnlt be but these Romanians are so very clever

I got an RR on the Vaseline thread - one's enough for today thanks!!! :-D

I deleted what I put - thought better of it

Sorry to side track / butt in Jude,as I know this is a big time scam you're on about.

I assume you mean a scammer on GR.. Ann ..not on this thread. ?

Someone RR'd me on Allan's Vaseline thread, for no particular reason and you and Allan. I've never been RR'd before.

Do hope it's not someone we know ,that would be wicked ,if they haven't got the guts to PM me and tell me why, they are spineless and are no less than scammers.

Rant over !
Sandie.

I watched a TV programme on ATM scams and it's the Romanians who are the big time players in that

Pleased you like the very useful use of Vaseline:))

This scam refers to big time scams!!!!

jude :-)

like the introduction of Vaseline on here Jude - certainly is all purpopse and very handy for slippery customers!!!

I think the makers of Vaseline should pay us for all this free advertising!!

i have to agree Jude passes the vaseline
but to be honest
i think most would be surprised to find
people they know who have scammed people
as somebody has to know these low life people

i would hate to find out it was one of my friends :-D
it would devestate me and i would be so disapointed in them :-(

lol good idea for the vaseline Jude :-D

It is indeed Joy, I don't know how they live with themselves.

My elderly friend got taken, fortunately for a small amount as she realised and told her bank which put a block on any more going, and to their credit gave her back the money as they were already investigating that particular scam.

Another elderly friend is getting these calls so often she takes the phone off the hook each evening, I have warned her not to give out any details to anyone.

l would like to think l would'nt be caught out, but by this peeps that said the same ...have been.
l'd hang em by the you know whats if l got hold of em....grrr
and l'd put vaseline on the rope so they slipped in the sea:)))
