Scammed on Craigslist. What to do?

[Choss Jonger, Sr.]

No offense but I'd revoke all internet spending privileges from self. Probably stop answering cell phone calls from unknown numbers as well. Don't stick forks in electrical sockets etc. Sorry, I'm just taken aback a bit by the naivete here.

Hey OP, do you want to buy any speakers ?

Is this a CL thing now? I remember it being some guys in a van by the side of the road, or in the mall/store parking lot. It was pervasive.

Agree. I wonder to top it off, if Facebook got a cut as well.

This was a shout to the old guys...

I almost went to work doing that speaker thing. I got the gig but bailed on it before I started. Hadn't seen them around before at that point, I thought it was legit at first but fortunately I wised up.

You must of owned a van.

[jackattack]

Bummer. Not all drug addicts are as trustworthy as a maggot.

There’s some gold in here. Most of you guys are fkn hysterical.

Except ncskier. You try too hard.

I’m in Nashville for a work-thing. This Thursday night Tyler Childers is playing at the Ryman. I’m so in.

I’ve got an extra set of tickets. Just PayPal me $150 and I’ll get them to you.

Now, try to be careful when you go out on the town and drink with some of Nashville's best to console yourself, and a blond with fake tits in a cowboy hat and a few miles on her that her makeup and your fourth drink is hiding gets all snuggly at the bar, OK? That could cost you a whole lot more. Maybe a kidney.

Think I met the guy that got your job in a strip mall parking lot. Was it selling a shipment of high quality speakers refused by the music store being sold out of the back of a van?

[splat]

You got grandma's number. Call and tell her she won tickets to a George Strait concert and you just need her cc info and ss# to verify her identity.

That made me laugh.

My uncle's scam was selling "$250" cookware sets he bought for $5 and sold for $10-15 out of the trunk of his car at bars, gas stations, bowling alleys. The cookware was worth what people were paying him--I got through 4 years of school with a set--plus they got the thrill of getting a great deal, or so they thought. Win-win.

Lot of those guys selling "stolen" merchandise by the side of the road or on the street are licensed sales people selling cheap, not quite identical goods. Strictly legal.

The karmic wheel keeps turning. Went to the very sold out show and within a few minutes met a super cool couple with 2 extra seats in the 5th row and sold us the tickets for less than face value.
Country music isn’t my jam but Robert Earl Keen opening for Tyler Childers on a snowy night in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium?

It’s fkn ‘Mercia as shit and a goddamn good time.

Never been to Nashville and don’t really see myself coming back anytime soon so pretty stoked on the way that went down.

And yeah. It was dumb of me to fall for her scam.

[old goat]

REK has been reduced to an opening act? What's this world coming to?

[Tech Tonics]

It didn’t seem very “reduced” to me. It was a packed house and he did the encore with TC standing in the background. He looked pretty stoked, the energy in that place was electric.

That sounds rad as hell, and I know nothing about Tyler Childers other than what I learned from this thread and a google.

That's not really how it works in Nashville on any given evening, country or not from my experience.

[jmedslc]

wow, i didn't think people fell for these scams anymore...funny thread!

[riser4]

Did you at least try to get the gummer?

[riser4]

This all seems to be moving along on schedule for this place.

Except for busting up grandma's place. That's a new one. I like it though, could really liven up the trip to Nashvegas.

What time is it?

Has anyone mentioned the benefits of fractional ownership yet?

Bobby must be in Aspen.

I've been in Aspen. What did I miss?
