exO



why do you have to post aggressively...ok so I am not the best at explaining excatly what I mean but here is no reaspon to be beligerent

That wasn't me posting aggressively or belligerently. If I was you would know.

This is more resigned annoyance than anything else.

Don't worry about ex0 carbooter,he is just a nasty knob of a person who,for some reason,thinks he is better than anybody else.Just don't bother replying to him,as I won't when he spews his bile in reply to this post.You were trying to be helpful which is commendable.Well done you!

Totally agree here - also with Bandy and Snod. That exO is just too arrogant and rude for words. Keep doing what you're doing carbooter, you're a far better person than exO is.

ex0__ why can't you be more like your avatar?

Lol - Boosh

I didn't say anything about common sense. Personally, I can always find a place for it! But the more information there is about scams, the more commonplace common sense will be!


But yet you wrote the following;


And ex0 wrote;


Hence my "condone and even endorse," comment. Although I DID notice you later wrote;


And I fully agree with that.


It's neither irrelevent, nor nonsense. I have no "agenda"(?). I'm not trying to "doctor" anything(?). I did read all the posts properly and my posts make perfect sense.

Bottom line is; I don't like the idea that it's OK to kick people under the bus just because they're gullible. Some victims don't even REPORT the crime to the police because of how they're viewed for falling for it!

So let's not make it easier for the scumbags to get away with it, eh? Let's show some compassion, and save our contempt and criticism for the CRIMINALS!

I received an email last weekend purportedly from PAYPAL telling me that my details needed updating in order for my account to continue. I knew it was a phishing exercise because they hadn't addressed it to me personally. I immediately sent it to spoof@paypal.com> who within minutes confirmed that my suspicions were correct. So if you get anything like this, send it to that email address. They reckon it helps them to close these sites down.
