Just submitted my final essay for college. It should be a major pleasure but it feels strangely anti-climatic.

never mind. when you get to russia you'll never have to do your own essays again

The Craziest Black Market in Russia Isn’t for Oil or Guns. It’s for Dissertations.

@nooly: that scam thing is gold!

 

[nooleen]

Hi,
Good Morning..Can you let me know what is going on now??


me: i tried to transfer the money to the account details you gave me but the girl at the desk said they can't verify that account.
i asked her what the problem was and she said she didn't know, she was just getting an error


Hi,
The previous agent is off duty so please go back to the store now and send the money to the new agent details
First name: Khadija
Last name: SWALEH HASSAN
Address: 11 rotana road Sharjah 00971
Country: United Arab Emirates (UAE)
I'm sure it will go through now just let me know when you have done.


me: i can't go again,my brother has had to go back to newcastle for work and there's only me to look after our mother again

 

[nooleen]

You have to find a way to go back there please.

Turns out that address is a hotel in UAE & others who've seen it say the IP that the emails originate from indicate they're coming from there too.

yeah that's why i was trying to get a rise out of him with references to the police in sharjah (where the hotel is) but he doesn't seem bothered

I used to field calls from people who'd fall for those kinda scams. A dread filled moment of silence when the penny dropped.

I feel really sorry for people who do fall for them, I know the cynical part of me should have "a fool and their money" mentality but these guys are fucking parasites preying on the vulnerable.

 

[nooleen]

i read once that the scams are intentionally poorly written to make sure only real dimwads get taken in by them

i don't remember where i read it though; probably just someone's theory about it

 

[nooleen]
