I get alot of check scam email in my box thanks to Craigslist postings, but this one by far was the funniest. I've been laughing all morning, figured I'd share the idiocy.

That can not be a legit job offer, there was no Social Security blank on the form.

It's like someone had a deck full of different scam e-mails, and then just shuffled them all together and dealt 10 random lines.

The sad part is that these things apparently still make somebody some kind of cash otherwise why would people still be sending these out?

It only takes 5 suckers with $1,000 in the bank to make these scams worthwhile.

You ever hear the story of that one woman who ended up giving some scammer several hundred thousand dollars? She fell for his (their?) crap and sent the initial "give us cash to cut through the red tape so we can give you your cash" fee, and just kept giving as more red tape "popped up". When she emptied her bank account, she started stealing from her husband, her family, from her parents... I think she sold her father's house (or just started cashing his Social Security checks? Don't know, it's been a while since I read the story), sold her cars, went into deep debt, all in a (no shit) vain attempt to get the money that had been promised to her. Needless to say, she never did.

And that's why these fucking cunts will never, ever stop. Because of idiots like these. Because once in a while, a scammer strikes the jackpot, and that's enough fuel to keep 'em all going.

The fuckers. :angry:

Honestly? I think it tastes better than regular Coca-Cola. Especially the Cherry version. Reason being? It's just as tasty as regular Coke but without that nasty cottonmouth aftertaste.

That cotton mouth aftertaste is always a reminder that Coca Cola can make metal rust.

I've sort of been curious about this too. One of my friends swears by it, but I'm of the opinion that if I'm going to drink a soft drink, I might as well go all the way and get the 'regular' version.

90% of my friends drink diet variations of Pepsi, Coke, etc ... and I feel like they're not getting the full experience. They don't mind it but ... I dunno. It just seems to me like not having mayo on your greasy, four patty burger for health reasons. Probably better for you, but on such a minor scale that it's not worth what you're losing.

That's a bullshit reason--anything you do to help tilt the scale is better for you than just giving it all up. You're not going to magically not be a fat ass by choosing a Diet Soda, but it definitely helps.

I think that the worst scams are the ones where they call you saying that you have an interview...

then 10 minutes in after they give you the address you realize its not for a place that you ever applied to and its for selling insurance scams or knives or something...that you have to pay for.

It is SOUL crushing.

Not as good as coke, but pretty close.
Much better than diet coke.

I had a company write to me with one of these faux interview things. I did research based on the email address of the person who wrote me, and found out it's a company that sells door-to-door credit card processing services, at much higher rates than normal companies charge (so it's freaking hard to make a sale, in the best of circumstances). Not to mention, on the Consumerist and other web sites people have complained about getting ripped off on their pay. Not to mention, the last thing I wanna do is trade my 85K a year job (with primo benefits) for a shady door-to-door sales scheme.

I linked half-a-dozen of those fraud-buster websites and said "Please guess my level of interest".

The person actually had the balls to write back and try to sell me on their scheme anyway.

Yeah, I suppose. But what I mean is when I put them both on the scales, I judge the loss of flavor a bigger deal-buster than a few less calories or whatever.

I mean, I get it: If they don't mind the difference in taste, then there's no reason NOT to drink diet. On the other hand, though, I can't stand it, so though it might be better for me, I'd rather take the health hit (or rather ... the slightly bigger health hit) and enjoy my sugar.

JOB AVAILABLE IN COCA COLA COMPANY (VERY URGENT)?

It's really not just a "few less calories", though.

I used to drink 2 or 3 16 oz cokes a day, at 200 calories a pop. 600 calories per day. That's 2 hours of walking, each and every day, just to account for the calories in those drinks.

3000-3500 excess calories will put about a pound of weight on you. So if you don't do that 120 minutes of walking in a day, and you're otherwise eating around a 2000 calorie diet (in addition to the sodas), that means you're going to gain about a pound a week, or 50 lbs a year.

When I switched to diet sodas, and began walking a modest 30 minutes a day a few years ago, I lost 70 lbs in 6 months. It makes a big difference.

JOB AVAILABLE IN COCA COLA COMPANY (VERY URGENT)?

My favorite diet sodas are diet sprite and Coke Zero. It tastes better than diet coke and splenda diet coke--which both taste like what I imagine plywood would taste like. I've never tried cherry, but I bet it's good. If I drink regular soda, it's only out of those tiny 8 oz cans. Anything bigger than that is too much sweetness, and it makes me feel a little sick and loaded down.

And WOW to that email.

I've never seen this scam before. I can't really even tell what they're trying to get from you. Obviously you don't want to give them the info you're asking for, but what are these types of scams about?

I kept thinking they would do the usual "give us your address, etc, and your bank with bank account number so we can put your commission in there".

It doesn't help that the grammar is so poor that I can't parse out a few of the sentences.

Joe,

In this scam, the company sends you an overseas check.You cash it, skim off 10% as a processing fee, and send them back the remainder.

Oftentimes, about 30 days later, your bank says "whoops! that check was forged" and takes 100% of the money from your bank account. Basically, the crooks are using delays in the banking system to part you from your money.

It's particularly nasty because you may be charged with passing a forged check even if you didn't know it was forged. This may mean jail, felony, etc for you. I believe that prosecutors are rather lenient and often drop cases that are obvious fraud, but if the bank can't recover all the money it lost and presses the issue, then the victim may still be charged.

Rarely is the person who created the forgery in the first place caught, nevermind charged.

It's bad business.
