    • There was no one here to agree with you if you're (notice how that's spelled) trying to claim that the WU refund is a "scam". Comments to the FTC blog entry suggest that the claims administrator is clogged up somehow in vetting refund claims. These things can take a very long time, and it's not...

    • I'm not sure that would affect it since once a bench warrant is issued then it is up to the judge to dismiss it, unless the DA drops the charges. If it is only a traffic stop then good fake ID would help. If it is an actual arrest, there is no way they can fake the fingerprints. It appears that he...

    • Then again, I've been dealing with stereotypical Nigerians on FB...they're pretty stupid but I'll admit this guy was more moronic. Threatening the only person to lead both the FBI AND the CIA then makes the dumb assumption he can just waltz into the US to visit a friend, that does kinda take the...

    • A lot will depend on their status. They may very well pray for deportation. In the Federal prison sub-cultures there's support for Caucasian, Hispanic & Black Convicts. The gang affiliations are innumerable. Being accepted in to one is not an option, it's a matter of survival. I'm not aware of group...

    • She may be a phony, but I do remember taking courses in Medical Transcription in the '80s and interviewing for a job from a private supplier near where I lived which wasn't much different from doing it at home. The Chinese female supplier had about 20 poorly lighted claustrophobic spaces with...

    • Not necessarily . If the domain expired and they bought it, that doesn't demonstrate any connection to the original owners at all. They are domain brokers, and buy a lot of domain names. If you got a new phone number, you'd have no connection to the previous owner. It has a typical domain broker...

    • Disaster Vultures - I like that term. Victimizing the Victims also fits and includes predatory refinancing. ETA - last night's Omaha storms must not have been as minor as I thought they were. OPPD reports 67 customers without power.
