Title: My old boss just sent me what sounds like a scam e-mail
Post by: GilloD on December 03, 2008, 12:34:24 PM
The dude was shade-town to start with and now I haven't spoken to him in about two years. His crappy business folded and now I get this:

Please use the Hotel address below when you get to the western Union

cost you.

Because his businesses tanked, he ran around on his wife and he was generally weird. And then he asks me to send him 2500$?

It also looks like he was taken captive by an almost literate Nigerian scammer.

I only have liked or trusted 6 people I have worked for; My pops (obvious reasons), My boss at LC (he just sat in the back and smoked cigarettes. Most laid back boss ever.), my two bosses in the labs, my old department manager from last summer (still the only man I've ever dealt with that I'm not related to that has both a manager's badge and common sense in the entire place.), and my current boss' boss (Related to.).

my msn got hacked a few weeks ago and it deleted my contacts and sent a spam email to everyone on my list.

This resulted in me getting replies from a bunch of friends I hadn't talked to in years....all who thought it was a legit email.  :rofl

ah, I knew some shit like that happened. I just deleted it. :P
