Title: Have you ever been scammed/conned in either IRL or online?
Post by: Supertoaster on April 26, 2012, 11:26:54 PM
Has anyone ever tried to scam you and failed/ or unfortunately they won?

Someone tried to pickpocket me and I backhanded him but he ran off. Scared me to death. (not really a scam but, yeah)

Guy told me an elaborate story that boiled down to him needing $10 more to get a locksmith (he locked himself out of his car, he said). 
I forget the details, but it was painfully obvious he was lying, so I told him to break his window.

I spent $200 on a bass once, and got ripped off on it as it stopped working a week later. It wasn't until recently I had to fix it myself.

You live outside the US and ship form the US, that's normal. Nearly.
I ordered an Ozzy hoodie a while ago... took MOOONTHS I can't remember exactly how many but by the end of it at least 6 months. That was shipped from the US too I believe... can't remember... may also have been from Europe though so idk.

Also...
Jman's got a nice TF2 tale or two for sure.

First hat I ever got in tf2 was a chieftains challenge. Traded it for the bow :l

Also, why is he posing as death. I though I was the only one moronic enough to do that.
