Hey, i just thought i would share this to all you people in the united states with cell phones.
i got a call today from some indian guy who said his name was Jack Dawson. saying the government wanted to give me $5000(haha the government GIVING any money ) anyway he had my address and phone number..but the address he had was almost a year old. he asked me for my checking acct number and shit.i didnt give it to him....and he started getting upset. so i hung up on him. but anyway just watch out it seems to happen alot......the number they gave was
866 503 7345 and their address was in winter park FL...which is kinda funny seeing as i moved to winter park FL this year....and no Florida victims have been indentifed yet......till me.YAY IM SPECIAL...anyway
I usually dont answer calls who i dont know...Ill wait to see if they leave a message. Then check it and c if i know them...If i do...Ill call back.

I personally know a few people that are expert con artists, it's isane just how easy it is to scam people. Theres virutally no risk if you do it over the net - it's insane how much money is most likely scammed out of people using various bank scams.
Watch out for the Nigerian email Bank Scam.

My friend was playing tony hawks one night and then when on a school trip he made a crank call to try and sell copies of "Alan titchmarshes pro gardener" the guy on the phone wanted two copies for christmas and almost gave my friend his credit card number.. my mate felt bad though and put the phone down before hand.. but i mean some people are so gullible... it's weird (people in uk should know who alan titchmarsh is.. if not ... well watch UK gold or something :P )
