Scamming Craigslist Scammers.

SERIOUSLY!! I can't believe that people still fall for scamming over the internet. I recently e-mailed an ad on craigslist regarding some tickets and the guy emailed me back that he was in Sask. and couldn't make it but that he would accept a Western Union payment and then Fed Ex me the tickets the next day. This sent up a red flag so I googled his "name" and there were SOOO many people on forums saying "DAMN!! i sent this guy my money and never got the tickets!!"

Well, no shit!! never send your money to ANYONE Western Union, EVER!! Anyways, knowing he was a scammer I decided to waste as much of his time as possible... and here is how it went:

Me:
Hey, Do you still have the tickets? What offers have you gotten, so I can bet them? I'd like to buy two of them!

Adam:
My name is Adam. I still have tickets. I would like to offer the following payment options to you for these tickets because I am not in the city. Me and my Wife & Daughters are unable to make it due to our schedules.

www.westernunion.com just click on locate agent and go Directly into an outlet like a moneymart ect... or

http://www.moneygram.com these are often located in Post Offices or you can click on there site to find something close to you. These would be the best payment options that I can ask for, I cant accept PayPal because its been an issue with my credit union for payments.

my info is below you will need that
Adam Mason

I will be using FedEx overnight express to send you the tickets, there is no extra charge for this I will also send you a valid tracking confirmation once you have sent the payment to me, I guarantee you will get these tickets within 24-48 hours of payment because I use the express service for FedEx from my company. I hate scalpers so this is why I have made payment as stated above like this. I hope this is not an issue, If you need any more info please contact me asap.

Thanks Adam

Me: Hi! Sounds great I'll give you $150 each and I'll get all 4. Can you send me a photo of you with the tix so I know you have them?

Adam:
Hello,

So you know I have the tickets here is all the info on the tickets.

102312901278
378291128310
809182727102
901827262181

are the barcodes on tickets. The outlet code printed on the tickets is OCD143A which is printed on the lower left side of the ticket above the date stamp.

These are hardcopy tickets, NOT the E tickets, My tickets were printed at the outlet.

So now as for payment locate a Western Union outlet, and take my info

Name : Adam Mason
City : Prince Albert
Province : SK
Country : Canada

and once the funds are sent please email me your shipping info and the MTCN code as well. That will be on you bill.

Thanks
Adam

**The pic he sent me, full size, is the one at the top of this post. Obviously, you can't read anything on the tickets.**
--------------------

Me:

Hey,
That picture was a bit small, can I actually see you holding the tickets? I just wanna make sure of the seats. My friends have bought tickets before and people have lied about the seats. So I just wanna make sure, I hope that's not an issue.

There is a Western Union that is 24 hours close to my house, so I should be able to get the money out tonight or tomorrow, once I get the picture of the tickets.

Cheers!

Adam:
Hey Angie,

Well best I can do, if you cant accept that, i have other people who will buy. sorry no ones gonna lie about Kevin Smith tickets.. silly if you ask me.

If you want them great, if you dont have the trust please pass and let a real fan who will use them

Thanks
Adam

**he's trying to GUILT me into his scam, but suggesting that we should have some kind of trust because were both Kevin Smith fans. Which is bullshit because he said he was going to take his daughters to see Kevin Smith?! Kevin Smith shows are majorly X rated. He isn't even GOOD at scamming ... nevertheless, I still want to waste his time**

-------------

Me:
Hey ...
I just wanted to make sure, seeing as we aren't meeting in person. I'm sure you understand, but if you can't that's fine. I just wanted to cover my ass or my boyfriend will be pissed!

I'll get back to you once the $600 is sent.

Adam:

Thanks
Adam

**sure you will adam, SURE you will ... now I wait overnight and he gets a little anxious**

Adam:
Where you able to get that done as of Yet?

Thanks
Adam

Me:
Hello,

Sent in my boyfriend's name:
Will Taite
1339 Fraser St. #113
Vancouver, BC V5T 1N8

Adam

The Next day:

Please check and see what correct code is.


Thanks
Adam

Me:Okay ... sometimes when I type on my iPhone things get messed up. Lemme try again...

6021278409

That is definitely it! The chick there was really dopey, so if it doesn't work I'll see if i can cancel it and send it moneygram? My boyfriend will cry if I don't get these tix.

** Then he sends me this lovely message:**

Adam:
TAKE YOUR FAKE CODES AND SHOVE THEM UP YOUR ASS

Me (after searching he location of his IP address):

You're angry with me!?! You're the one trying to scam people, and you're not very good at it you scumbag! Get a real fucking job you loser. I'm sure your parents and family are really fucking proud.

Don't worry ... your IP address tells me just where are are. Redmond eh? Nice, my friends at the fraud protection department and quite interested in this, 164th street looks really nice! They've had red flags up for you for a while. Have fun a jail asshole.

-Angie (or is it?)

.... and that is how I spend my time. I suggest messing with any scammer you find, their time wasted is less time they have to steal innocent people's money.

Casey Anthony

Working overnights allowed me to do something I wouldn't otherwise have been able to do. Watch the Casey Anthony trial live! Since I work until 8am, and the trial was happening in Florida the trial would usually start airing around 6 am, and since I would never get up that early and I don't have cable I watched it every day.

I quickly became very intrigued as I don't believe in killing children, but I also don't believe in the death penalty. So I became very taken by my own internal moral struggle. On one hand I'm on the defense's side because killing Casey Anthony is not going to fix or prove anything, it will only leave her parents with no granddaughter and no daughter, but then what if she actually did do it? Honestly I was relieved that she wasn't guilty and surprised that she wasn't found guilty of manslaughter, but I understand why. Then I struggled with that, "why am I relieved that a possible baby killer is free? what is wrong with me?" then I just understood being compassionate doesn't necessarily mean that you are compassionate only for specific types of people. Is it really being compassionate once you start picking and choosing?

The Casey Anthony trial really opened up the disgusting and savage side of people. There were literally physical fights breaking out over who gets to sit in the court room, many counts of obstruction of justice from people yelling during jury selection to flipping off lawyers. Countless death threats, to her family, her lawyers, their families, the jury and their families. A plane flew over the jail with a marquee that said "Canada has decided: GUILTY BITCH!"
This is so sickening.

I follow a group on facebook called 'Casey Anthony Trial Updates' and it really disgusts me to see the absolute idiocy of people because they do not understand the justice system and the sick threats they are posting are frightening. One event they have planned is "Candles of Caylee" the group talks about how everyone in different states is going to "remember" Caylee.

... Remember Caylee? Remember Caylee? These people didn't know who Caylee was until she was dead! They aren't remembering all the thousands of other children who have been murdered since Caylee. Remembering her is the wrong terminology and the attachment they have is a little unhealthy. They bounce between "Cindy Anthony (Caylee's grandmother) is a lying, gutless wrench and she will get what she deserves when her time comes, death is waiting for her!!!" then "I'm going to bring purple candles to Caylee's 3 year memorial because it was her favorite color, I read that in my newspaper." I understand that people felt connection to this case, as I have, but there is something different and bizarre about this.

The night Casey Anthony was getting released from jail, thousands of "protestors" gathered outside the jail to yell and scream that she was a murderer. The news interviewed many of them who talked about justice for Caylee and all the rest of it ... and you know what I saw? Thousands of people behind barricades with cameras, camera phones, and video cameras. Not journalists, just regular people "protesting" apparently. When she came out, sure enough everyone yelled and screamed, and scrambled to take pictures.

They are taking photos of someone who they think is a child murderer? They are taking photos of someone they are protesting ... I don't know about you but I never take pictures of things I hate or that I am protesting. These people are treating Casey Anthony like a celebrity and justifying it by saying they are "protesting" her. However, as soon as she was gone everyone went home. Their protest was over? How effective. I can see it now:

"Where were you?"
"Protesting Casey Anthony! I'm so mad she was found not guilty! I yelled at her that she was murderer ... "
"Oh wow."
"yeah ... Oh, and look at this picture I took of her."
"Oh, good shot!"
"Yeah I know right!? 12 megapixels. I was pretty close ... got there at noon."
"So you waited 12 hours."
"Yeah! We really needed her to know that we hate baby killing. Oh and look at this shot I got of her, I think she's smiling, what a bitch!"

It's very strange. It reminds me of guys that are "straight" but are always coming up with reasons to show their friends their dick or are constantly looking up gay porn saying that it's gross. These middle aged women are obsessed with Casey Anthony and they like that she's pretty and white and the drama that is associated with her and they make it okay in their mind by saying they are "protesting" her rather than admitting to themselves that, maybe, they feel some compassion or something towards her.

... and really, baby murderers don't need to be protested! I don't think Casey Anthony was like "WHAT!?!! I thought that baby killing was a cool thing this year, like iPads and sweaters. I thought Pro-Death was a new opposition to pro-life and pro-choice."

She knew whatever she did was wrong and she is obviously mentally unwell. No mentally well person harms their child, lies about it and parties. It's sad that she didn't have the right structures or opportunities in place to keep her from making some terrible choices ... whatever they were. Compassion beats hate, always. Hate is a waste of time, and it's ugly.
