Go to "Quatloos". A site that lists scams. Very enlightening

Huh?
If I got an e-mail from anybody telling me to pay $20K (especially someone I didn't know) I'd tell 'em to go blow it out their posterior! Problem solved.

I usually reply by first enquiring whether they have any good-looking daughters, or failing that, please send me two or three of the best looking female specimens from their country, then negotiations can begin on the used $2000 car that I am selling. I explain that this is the cultural norm in my country.

I have been itching to use this one from the board. I think I will use it as my standard response to all scams of this type. This still makes me laugh everytime I see it.

lendaddy, you crack me up! where do you find these pics? I'm thinking maybe business cards with this on it to hand out when somebody makes a half azzed staement. "Thats profound John, here take my card and call me when you sober up."

I cannot take credit for it, but it is from this board. The first time I saw it I literally had tears in my eyes. It's not just the picture, it's the inferrence of complete stupidity you know

I happen to know the bunny personally, and am deeply upset that you think I called him dumb! He has been a BunnyMENSA member since '94 and I assure you he was caught at a time of weekness(carrot binge) when the pic was taken by his frat buddies er bunnies, whatever. Please retract your statement, thanks.
