I almost got scammed this morning! I got a phone call from a woman claiming to be from my "water and electric service" who said she was a supervisor and that my last payment didn't go through because my check wasn't signed. Well after some cross-examining and a sneaky suspicious feeling, I finally ended the call without revealing any of my financial information (She actually said I had to make the payment over the phone or I would be charged $40!). I called the police and it turns out they've been getting a rash of these calls. Be careful, all!

Also, what's with the dumdums who leave complaints about scratched discs on Netflix? And YES I still watch DVD's- not streaming. And YES I still have a land line. Judge me and I'll judge you back.

And on a happy note, listen to this:



Share your near-scams, dumdum complaints and/or happy notes.

Some people, man. I don't think I've been the victim of any near-scams but I'm also a hermit.

I like when strange people call, and they clearly have the wrong number, and you say, "Uhhhhhhhhhhh, you have the wrong number." *click*
And then they call back.. and leave a message on your voicemail..
and you're all like *erase*

Yeah, I would do that duracell except that I'm too cheap to pay for Caller ID.

Watch out, Alvin. They will find you.

I think scratched DVD feedback is fine, like it's to Netflix' advantage to not send out scratched disks. There should be a guy who looks at the bottom of every returned DVD, like when you try to sell CDs at a record store.

Spacesick, you understand me.

Biobot, true. But it should not be a review of the DVD. They should be clicking the link that says "Report a problem." Dumb dummies they are.

The closest thing to a scam I experience is people waiting at parking lots, asking for train money.

Once, I was driving home really late after work. I stopped at a traffic light, and this dude comes up to my window (scaring the crap out of me) telling me some story about how he has run out of petrol, and needs a lift or money or something. So I say no.

As he is walking away into the darkness he shouted "Don't worry! You are too ugly to bother raping!"

Awww thanks guys. You rock :)
Yeah. It was a pretty shitty experience tbh. After he said that to me I put my car into reverse cos I planned to run him over repeatedly and slowly, but then another car pulled up behind me and hooted cos the light had turned green. So i had to drive away. I have never felt like murdering someone so much.

I know! What kind of a person does that? The police were no help at all. They basically said to just hang up on them. I was thinking, "WHAT?! Aren't you going to trace the call and track down these thieves?! I want justice!" They're all...
