You guys know I sell birds and eggs. One of the places I advertise is on Craigslist. Tonight I was contacted by a scammer.

I'm no retard, so no big deal. However, some of these scams seem innocent enough. Some have a friendly human being on the other end knowledgeable in whatever you have for sale.

Don't take a check. Don't take a cashier's check. Don't read anyone a code you were sent to verify you're real. If someone wants to buy a few dollars in goddamn eggs, fuck them if they can't bring you cash without some kind of runaround.

Use your brain. Don't get your identity stolen or your phone hijacked or whatever Dinesh is trying to scam out of you.

I assume it was to connect my phone number to a Google voice number or something similar. He didn't get that far.

Bright side of scams like that is you get plausible deniability for things.

My phone # is constantly getting messages for some other person. Political, real estate, personal even on occasion.

And i love every second of it. Means I dont exist. Must have been the other guy. ;)
