Very true words in your open letter to the forum pacman

I am in the UK, certainly sounds like you are too.

I am obviously a newbie here but have been scouring for last couple of days and looking for an earner where i can make a few quid, we should all be here for same reason , we are all in the same boat, why scam each other! Its silly as fcuk....

One thing I learned never bite the hand that feeds you or fuck with your own people (thats 2 things)

Yes UK here, from a background where if there wasn't respect amongst the guys you dealt with then you didn't only not deal with them, you dealt with no-one at all.

Never bite the hand that feeds you or fuck with your own people is very important as you say, but make sure you never ever shit on your own doorstep. I learnt that particular lesson the hard way

But the world that is the internet, everyone can play the international gangster behind the monitor. But what behind that moniter in real life is just a broke dumb ass who doesn't have the intelligence to make some worthwhile cash.

Very true words, international gangster lol!

Can i ask you pacman, do you make a living out of this? Like I said totally new to this havent got a scoobie really. anyway I was on this other site and saw these iphones at $80 each thought bargain, guy have good rep, plus escrow was available and i was about to buy but the method the fella was using has gone tits up!

 

[pacm@n]

LOL, is it the guy from here that was selling them where you seen them? The only good rep that i seen was from a member of a free-to-join forum saying what a good seller he was. Ths forum is a kid's playground and has been since i first joined. That for sure was a fine example of what might fool the kids in that playground, but for those of us gifted with a even semi-functional brain, and who know how this kinda game works, it just smells of bullshit from all angles. Especially when the story started coming apart at the seams with no Escrow, fucking photo bollocks then the clincher for me was the guy asking for a free phone for posting a photo. Like seriously,m this isn't how to do this business, thats like something out of fuckin Sesame Street.

And i'm not surprised at all, my alarm was ringing loudly very early when he said no-one had wanted to buy any, and even though he was dropping the price and seemed in a rush to sell, he very conveniently forgot to acknowledge my first post in this thread. Now i know there aren't many rocket scientists around this forum, but we don't need one to work that this one out, huh?

Depends what you call making a living. I like to do what i want and party all the time so i don't it as such. But if i need some money, i go make it then start doing what i want again.

And i'm of the opinion that if you rip the ass out of something too much, it falls apart and then it'll probably be put back together a bit more securely

 

[whodareswins]

There was a fella on MTrade offering the iphone, shame i missed it, all seemed good, the admins were escrow.

I like to party a lot with some giannluca vialli lol..

What did i mean by making a living - yeh i supposed you answered it really you do what you want and like to party, cant get much better than that can you....

I find some of these types of sites absolutely fascinating, very clever indeed, a real eye opener!

I've always been on the lookout for new ways of making easy cash, pretty much all my life. And i always find a way I had great thing going about 6 years ago that was making me so much money i couldn't believe. I was lodging that many cheques and taking payments into my bank account, they offered me all sort of loans and cards, etc. And i was doing it from my parent's house as well. And you can think this is bullshit if you want because if some told me then that what i would think, but i stopped doing this because the cops arrived at my parents door with a search warrant for something completely different i was into. And when they seen all this gear set up in my parent's back room like i mini factory and boxes upon boxes of jiffy bags all over the place, one of the cops turned and said to me "is that not illegal"... and i said to him the first reason that why its wasn't illegal that popped into my head, which was probably the lamest excuse you could ever think of. And he just looked a little confused at what i'd said to him, and a few seconds later he said "oh thats ok, i thought that was the reason why, just making sure". If there wasn't cops all over my parents house i would have fell over laughing i swear, because its not often you can create a new law in your head one second, and make it law in a police officer's head the very next.

I never forget that day. The cops never did find what they were looking for either, mainly because their snitch gave them the wrong area of the house to search. Parents weren't too impressed though, and they made a fucking right mess of my mum's garden.

Sorry, i guess the moral of what happened to me that day and why i posted it is you can do everything possible to keep your ass covered from the law (and others!), to keep you making your money. But sometimes all it takes is having the ability to use a bit of intelligence to make a very quick decision and a straight face, and it can get you away with more than you could ever expect to.

Or you could be a fucking loser sitting on the internet trying to scam a scammer out of a few bucks. And fail miserably very often, but always hoping for that big fish you gonna catch in your net. LOL

 

[whodareswins]

i have always been on the look out aswell but not really got there yet.

So what was you doing to earn all this money when you were banking all these cheques and the cozzers turfed up your parents garden.

Can it still be done and can you share it with me?

Cheers

Nice post ! I'm a bit tired of getting ripped as well, getting a bit old.

But you're right once you've found some good vendors just PayPal with 'em and hope they don't vanish.

The rippers will always come, it laughable really and i kind of fell sorry for them that its all they can do. I remember when i wasn't clued up on this scene i PM-ed a guy selling something that i was actually needing there and then. So even though blinded this, i still interrogated him to make sure he wasn't ripper. He went through the usual offer of Escrow etc., verified seller on whatever forum, blah blah..

Anyway i said i would get my WMZ account funded and take 1 and if all works out i would take as many as he get as quick as he can. So i drive to ATM to get cash, then somewhere else to buy vouchers and back home to fund account so i could send him the 25wmz or whatever was (it was around that, no more). This was at early hours of morning on a weekend night i remember right and i know i would been too fucked to be driving. But i got it all sorted in acrazy drive around the place, sent him the WMZ and then nothing. That was my first (of very few, maybe three at most)time getting ripped for this kinda thing, but although i was annoyed at the time, not for the money but for the hassle i went to, i'm so fucking happy i learnt a lesson that night for the price of 25wmz.

The reason i'm so happy, is if that ripper had been smart, he would have went and got me what he was supposed to have been giving me. And then the next time he would been like a fucking King in his village of mud huts, because i had access to quite a substantial amount which belonged to someone else, and i'm pretty sure i could have been tempted to "borrow it" for a lot more of the same. But he got enough to feed his belly for a few days, i would love him to read this and realise what a retard he actually was that night

Mate it was one of those ebay things that i wsa in on pretty early and really went at it hard because i knew it was a matter of time before it got flooded, and so it did and then it all got messy with accounts getting suspended and rivas buying all your stuff, too much hassle and i'd already made the money so moved on. I remember showing my dad my paypal accounts one night and the payments were just coming and coming, and he just couldnt believe what he was seeing. I remember showing the most ever that i'd sold in one day, and he said that it nearly as much as he got pain a month. Not sure how true that was, but always remember that bit
