I get the same sh*t out here as well. That plus the poor Nigerian aid or Mouk Mouk Island widow asking me to help them get zillions of dollars out of their country into my bank account and they will give me a lot of money to help them. No wonder I am poor, next one I get I will help them out!:lol:

That is soooo crazy!! I got the SAME call the other day too!! They guy said that he needed to check the printer number on my copy machine and I told him that I don't have a copy machine. ( I do have one but he does not need to know that!) And I told him that he must have the wrong number. And he asked who he had called and I told him it was a nail and tanning salon. He then said well then maybe I can come and get my nails done. I said... um ok? And then he hung up on me!!

Very freaky guy!

SOME other websites would consider this a viable business.

Why isn't anyone trying to sell me somethin? I feel left out!

I can fix that, whats you phone number?

I got the "pitch" personally about a week ago. The guy already had the model number of our printer. I guess one of my associates got the "introduction" earlier.

Yep they called me a few days ago.
I knew he was full of it, so I just kept asking him stuff to listen to the guy squirm... I'd give em a 7 out of 10! very creative.

How crazy is that! They'd have to be pretty darn confident to pull that off. What a world we live in.
Maybe someone should say "look mate if you need the money that bad why dont u quit the scam business and come work for me" ! lol I bet the could lure in the customers lol
