Yeah, I've seen that one before. Pretty funny. Though, if you get past the mispellings, the site is actually pretty convincing.

Judging from his spelling I think God screwed with him enough already.

Re: Worst scam ever

The worst scam ever was back in 1987, when I worked for a company called THAVE CO. The Handicapped and Veterans Employment Company.

We literally had to pitch business people and sound like a handicapped person on the phone, and try to sell them #2 Faber Castell Pencils and Bic pens that were packaged by handicapped vets themselves. There was only one person in the entire place that was an actual handicapped vet. And he didn't see any of the money.


Another bad scam was the KWEB Foundation. The Kids Without Eyebrows Foundation.

In which we called prospective business owners to place ads in our BROW magazine to support the Kids Without Eyebrows. LOL


Of course, since then I have grown up and found a more legitamate job like a career in music. LMAO.

Ya I get several of those a week. I would love to stick it to em too.


I got an email for support@finlinson.com saying I was sending out viruses via email and to use their attached application to clean the virus off my system. The interesting thing is I am support@finlinson.com(an address which doesn't exist) and I don't remember sending that e-mail at all. I also got the same e-mail from admin@finlinson.com which is me as well. I can't believe I sent 2 such e-mails and can't remember either of them.
