holding on the quote of the best actor in the world whose family name i cant pronounce even though i do speak German , "i'll be back" -Arnold Schwarzenegger- .
now i have something to write about, letg get caraacking. This thing happened to me yesterday. fist backgrounds . I bought a new computer a couple months ago, it is lovely and im Using it everyday. Then i decided to sell my Old computer . Being the tech savvy nerd that i am ,i opened an advert for it on ebay. Not the beay ebay but i think the sister service of ebay , ebay-kleinanzeige. After taking a couple of sexy and artistically blurry picture of my old computer i put the advert up.

A message of an interested customer called 'Larissa' , who rather too quickly states her interest with my Laptop. After a couple of minutes of discussion on the website , we move to email- conversation with a slightly odd start. She wanted to speak exclusively trough email because she have to delete her ebay account , then she proceeds to give me her home address to send the package to plus ask for my account number (which i gave her), with promise that she will transfer the Funds to my account today.
after awhile it come apparent that she is a scammer , why ? she asked me to deliver the goods and showed me a tracking number so that her bank ,that she claims will withhold the transfer before she can show a proof of delivery. Then it got weirder , her "Bank" emailed me with the shadiest, most suspicious looking email in the recorded human history.
She refuse to pay via fool proof method we normal human called paypal, or normal transfer.
And insisted that i send the Goods first. I just laugh and mark her email as spam. This experience makes me wonder , do anyone stupid enough to be fooled by Larissa ?
If you do , fist get off the internet and learn how to use common sense. Have any of you been scammed on the net? let me know in the comments below :)
