    $$$

    I always enjoy falling for those scams-

    Only I give them a wrong SS# and Credit card #'s.
    Imagine after they go through all the effort of either selling the info or even creating a fake credit card to go to the nearest Best Buy to have it denied?

    Wish I could be there to witness!

    You sound like a \"Scambaiter\"

    I ran across a site called 419eater.com
    where a group who call themselves scambaiters actually go trolling for scammers. One guy posed as a charitable priest who had taken a vow of poverty so couldn't pay the processing fee his church needed to process the benevolence payment to the scammer. The scammer fell for it! He drug the scammer around the internet for 5 months after he reeived the $80 dollar cash "processing fee".
    Very interesting. Kevin

    that is from

    the Bob and Tom show, a syndicated morning show that (ALAS) I can no longer get.

    One of the best shows in the morning. they have tons of stuff (for sale) ontheir website bobandtom dot com.

    Their songs are hilarious unless you offend easily

    Bob and Tom

    I LOVE the Bob and Tom show! I listen to them from a Portland, ME station on my way to work in the morning. Makes me wish for a longer commute some days. (I've been known to sit in the parking lot waiting for a segment to be over before I come in.) I had heard them while I was traveling, and then they replaced Imus in that slot when he was canned. Happy day for me!!!!!! Sorry you can't hear them anymore.

    Free Beer

    Try the Free Beer and Hot Wings Morning show if they are on in your area. I used to listen to Bob and Tom, but got sick of thier fake laughing at EVERYTHING... I'll still listen if FBHW are on vacation or something, but Free Beer and Hot Wings are much better, in my opinion. And yes, thier name is dumb... but the show is great.

    And....

    Don and Mike are still my favorite. I know they are totally sophmoric, but I can't help it. I love that show.
