A version of this is an overpayment is made by mistake.
1 check is deposited 2 excess funds are sent by Western Union to scammer. This prevents the scammed from holding and returning the check. For more info on this look up "flash money" in google inregards to cashing checks. Many scams use this flash money to convince the victim they got the money. 3 small item is shipped to scammer or the sale is canceled. 4 check comes back as fake to the victims bank 5 victim lost the money sent and possibly the cell phone or other item sold.
The trick of the cashier's check fraud is that the payee's bank credits the seller's account before the funds have actually arrived from the paying bank. Therefore, it looks like the funds have cleared and everything is OK.
When the funds don't arrive due to the fake check, the flash funds in your account that you wired off to the scammer is reversed in the victim's account. Now you get bounced check fees, possibly fake check fraud charges, overdraft fees, etc. Basicaly you're screwed.
Visit a scambaiting site where these scum are baited to see the scam in action, but knowing the check is fake. Baiters use the fake checks for wallpaper and as trophies of scammers they baited.
Google scambaiting. Not all results are safe for work.
Getting the technique is important to prevent hitting a wall. Get a tutor program with games, then pick up speed in chat. Worked for me. I took typing in the 70's. I got my speed up on teletype, then BBS chat. First I out typed 75 baud tty, then 110, then 150. I
went to 300 baud BBS chat and out typed that easly. 1200 was hard to catch. I never out typed a 2400 baud modem.
Due to the bandwidth, narrow beam antennas will go a long way in partioning the space into sectors for frequency re-use, much like cell phones. See if you can partition your space into cells.
I have a second router for "leeches" It is unsecured and not connected to anything. It does get connections from time to time. It has DHCP, DNS, and such all set. It has activity quite often as most routers in my area are secure.
For the ultimate thrill and hundreds of death threats, try pulling a few freight baits and get a scam gang to pay thousands of dollars for trash and insults.
This guy lost count of the death threats.;-) He has an ax to grind after the loss of $4,000 due to a bounced check. He grinds them well. If you wondered about all those scam emails, this is the place to see how they all work. Fake checks, Auction site scams (seller beware), apartment rental scams, it's all there.
Baiting scammers is a great hobby. Collect trophys, bust bank accounts, collect fake checks and more. http://thescambaiter.com/ For the geeks, check out the gold coast bait! A GPS tracked case of cash adrift in the Atlantic. Fun stuff.
Just get enough money in cash, go to mexico/canada which ever is farther from your normal place of residence and spend the time at campgrounds.
No need to do that. Western Union is your friend. Keep your ATM card. The last thing you do as you leave town is to use an ATM, visit Western Union, send cash, go to any town other than to where you sent it and pick it up claiming travel problems. Knowing the test question and answer and MCTM is enough if the country is right. To mix it up, alternate with Moneygram. They will have a trail of where you just left. Log into your online accounts using a borrowed one time open home router at random, never repeat one twice. Keep moving.
If you are rich a satellite phone is nice but many are about $10/minute.
The only problem with being judgment proof is you lose any opportunity to have a career in the future. To remain judgment proof, you can never take a job where the wages can be attached. Therefore you remain a ward of the state on welfare for the rest of your life with only the guarantee of any real job being robbed. Working like deadbeat dads with cash under the table is the only way to raise your ability to purchase a car, insurance, housing, etc.
I don't expect the RIAA's bill collectors to ever let up looking for the money. They have a strong incentive to never let her rise out of poverty.
They seem to think they have the right to be completely inhumane in her treatment and show no attempt at compassion in the least.
This stance will of course come back to haunt them. I and many others have simply stopped supporting the industry in any way. I don't buy from any label involved in this and won't until they change. The change doesn't appear to be any time soon.
Do you know any single moms receiving food stamps that can afford a $20,000 car? Most that I know are either riding the bus or driving 10 year old clunkers that are about 5K miles past the last oil change sticker. I've worked on a few of those clunkers to get one rolling for a few more miles.
20K is more spare change than they can raise in 10 years.
Actually having to pay for storage and such for having my car stolen is pretty much the norm, even in the USA. They steal it and then charge you for the towing and storage. They never read the note in the window stating it is a breakdown, do not tow, call me with a phone number.
Take any solar collector and place it in a dark room with an LED nightlight on the other side of the room or down the hallway and let me know how much output you plan to produce.
If you are near a wifi hotspot, charge off the USB port of a laptop instead. It is several orders of magnitude stronger. Is it April first already?
Free goes a long way with price as well as a user friendly license.
Take my example. My wife is a student. I'm a geek. She does the books. She has a desktop, I have two, one Windows and one Linux. We both have a laptop and I have a netbook.
She has a Vista laptop, an XP desktop. They have Office 2K and the newer version for Vista. My Windows 98 box has Office 97 on it. Open office on the other hand comes with a license that lets me put it on all my machines.
Open office is also installed on all 5 machines. Other than when someone sends us a Powerpoint or something in a newer MS format, we seldom have to put a document onto a thumb drive to move it to the homework laptop to open it.
MS may need to consider a reasonably priced multi-platform office suite with a home site license to displace the well entrenched Open Office in my home.
The export as PDF works great in Open Office. I don't know if the newer versions of MS office have that included yet. I haven't bothered to look.
The guy that takes the job at MS has his work cut out for him.
Often overlooked is the amount of FAS/FAE children of lower income households. FAE often goes with drinking teens and unexpecte pregnancy. This drops these unwed mothers into the system in lower economic classes with chldren with ADD Bipolar ODD and other behaviour problems.
In general the survey failed to look at upstream to where these children and parents came from and any factors such as substance abuse, unwed, or other factors put more children with high needs into low income households.
The indicator is not that low income gets more treatment, but more that need treatment are in low income families.
Bash books are a good start. Often how to attack a puzzle goes towards good problem solving. A good set of 3D puzzles is also great. Good mechanical skills is a must along with reasoning in 3D space.
It is a good thing they didn't try to calculate the amount of power used and how much it adds to global warming.. They may decide to shut it down tomorrow.
"So after this little debacle the President of Ernie Ball said get the Microsoft crap the hell out of here if they are going to treat us in that manner.
The article is heavy on the consumers not curtailing use of cheap power. On the flip side is the utilities faced with rising fuel costs and price fixing by the state of California found it a good time to shut down the more expensive to run plants to cut their losses. It costs more to produce electric power when you have to fire up the ineffecient plants to supply the peak demand.
Peak demand was not curtailed by consumers due to the cheap power and peak demand was not met by the utilities who refused to bring up ineffecient plants to meet the needs in the heatwave.
This is the outcome of government telling industry it must produce a product at a fixed price while the cost of supplies goes up.
Obama is going to control the cost of providing health care. Expensive to provide services are going away when this happens. Private industry has no other choice. Expect it.
Those who don't learn from history are condemmed to repeat it.
Don't count out the Windows 95 users. Although, to be fair, I can't call myself that until I find an AC adapter. I can't imagine what would happen if I managed to get it onto the net.
It is becoming safer. I forgot where I saw it, but much of the bugs out there target newer versions of Windows and many don't function on Windows 98.
The older Prius sedans are not affected. From the Boston Globe article with the photo above they list the affected model years.
About 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus models are affected, including the 2007-2010 Camry, 2005-2010 Avalon, 2004-2009 Prius, 2005-2010 Tacoma, 2007-2010 Tundra, 2007-2010 ES 350, and the 2006-2010 IS 250 and IS350.
My 2002 isn't in the list. Only the hatchbacks are.
One thing I haven't understood on the Prius floor mats. I don't know if this is on the newer models or not but the older sedans have a clip that prevents them from skidding up into the pedal. There has not been any reports of the retaining clip breaking, only the mats slid. I wonder if this is an issue on only newer ones.
I remember one of the muscle cars in the '70s had a problem with the accelerator cable getting pinched against the hood on hard accelleration. It took a while to find the cause as most drivers switched off the igninton. The loss of torque released the cable so it too lots of trial and error and examination to find. I also remember driver's ed where stuck accellerator recovery was taught. The problem with a Prius is it can't be started in Neutral like many cars. This means you have to come to a complete stop and put it in park to restart it.
