i like to read that at least once a day

Would be easier when you came from Nigeria...... then a "God bless, for you and your family ..." always seals the deal

You should have asked him for driving directions and said you would be there with cash in hand. That would have been an interesting conversation.

Not at all. Numbers are part of my mojo.

Thank you. Ever in this neck of the woods welcome to come over and play them.

I forgot about that thread. LOL. Classic

I am not not a liar dammit! But I do loves me some Shasta.
God Bless.

Best Regards,
Patty

That is high comedy right there. PattyJ.

Just an update, we are still working on getting that MB to me.

Hello Patrick my good friend!

I did go to Post Office today to set up the money orders but the address you supplied seems to be incorrect and the would not process it at the counter. Did you by chance error on the numbers or spelling. Cant wait to get this deal done and play my new machine!

Oh sounds good would be expecting it then where do I go cash I told you I don't really know how it works , then about shipment I don't think there is a rickshaw courier terminal down here but am gonna scout around for one , I was gonna use fedex freight they are very careful and competent when it comes to shipping pinballs to avoid any damages and it takes
3-4working days to get delivered . What do you think .

Regards
------------------
Patrick my good friend,

Postal orders should be by
you any second now, you can go to the post office to cash. If you cannot ship with a rickshaw, ask fed ex freight for the 4hour delivery service.

Cheers,

Sounds good I would have the postal orders sent back to you immediately as soon as I get hold of them , you could have the cash posted via moneygram to name irene cruz , address 165 Paseo De Paulina , Espanola NM ,87532 that's my wife as soon as the money is posted you would get back to me with the reference number and senders name for confirmation of payment online so I can commence ship asap .

Yes, I sent cash, but its all in quarters, was all I had on hand.

You're gonna feel bad when a rickshaw eventually rolls up to the White House and Obama makes off with your Monster Bash.

Rickshaw courier. LAWL.

"aggressively question them" LOL

Nice flank! Today is Caesar Chavez day in California so tell him the postal service had to convert your quarters to pesos in honor of Caesar Chavez. Hope that is ok?

" Jehovah's Witness Day".

Holy Crap man, I almost asphyxiated myself....

Damn! I thought it was Juan Valdez day.

Did anyone notice if you click on someones Karma points it shows how many posts they have made?

O-Din you posting slut.

I check Pinside every day hoping there's been an update to this...and holy crap this does not disappoint! There's so many diamonds! It's David Thorne-esque: http://www.27bslash6.com/

You're one funny, funny dude, Flanker!

"aggressively question them"...

I get around.

Very.

very.

nice.

Remind me never to piss you off.

Flank that is Classic. Think I am crying. You sure know how to really F with them. I am taking notes so I can F with scammers better on the west coast.

That Flankster is quite the prankster!

Thanks to Flank, this thread immediately goes into the Pinside Hall of Fame.

I'll toast to that (with a super rare 1969 Shasta cola on the rocks). hic

Yes Flankster is quite the prankster, but I am still waiting for payment in full and some of those pinside delicasies I was promised.

I can't stop laughing. Now my eyes are watering!

Well, he did promise me my choice of meat but so far the last meat I've seen was at Carl's house of horrors.

In my country we strive to keep our meat fresh.

Geez this is a great thread!! I have received so many of those scam emails over the years, like many of you.....wasn't long ago most any ad you put on Mr. pinball would result in one of those scamster emails! There were so many red flags in the original ops email...was obvious it was a scam but it is a good reminder that perhaps it isn't so obvious to everyone and that we all need to be careful. As others pointed out, unless it is CL, it just isn't realistic to expect a game like MB going for so little money.

For those enjoying the on going prank by our fellow pinsider, there is a hysterical web site run by a guy doing precisely what centerflank is doing....its hysterical and the guy is as good as centerflank and there are a ton of postings! Its a site for everyone to post that stuff. Premise is that it is for people wanting to get even with the scammers. I will try and get the URL...had forgotten all about it until now. Great stuff....thanks for posting.

hmmm, could it be, hmmm, well, maybe, http://www.ebolamonkeyman.com/ ? However, for the record, NO ONE out flanks the Flankster. That just doesn't happen.

Hi guys - Just an update from this Patrick Cruz - I received an email yesterday in Australia and picked up on it straight away, this Terminal Wally is still scamming. Details below may help as well as an address in Arkansas ?, i cant do much here in OZ, maybe someone in the states can push it.............................................The last email is posted below, maybe he slipped up because im in Australia ?. hope so.

You could make payment via western union to my younger brother's id Quincy Hill , 1715 kimberly Dr Little Rock , Akansas , 72205 he needs the money for his medical bills , when you done with that get back to me with the senders names , western union control numbers and your complete shipment address ,i shall ship immediately and send you tracking numbers for the shipment as soon as your payment is confirmed online.

Regards.
