Okay listen up cus this one's hilarious!
A couple of months ago, my friend Colin started calling his cousin Kelsey and acting like a stalker. Kelsey is from Florida but he succeeding scaring her a little bit because he knew what her house looked like. She didn't think much of it and this went on for quite some time. Last week, her and her family came into town for a graduation party. Colin hadn't called her for while, so he came up with a plan to scare the hell outta her.
Their went to a restraunt at night time and he went to the bathroom and told her he was coming for her. She didn't think anything of it, after all, this was just one of her friends from Florida messing with her.
Afterwards, they headed to a family friends house and Colin took it a step further. The kids were all sitting and watching a movie and Colin called her from the bathroom. "Kelsey, I'm coming to get you, I'm in Plymouth, Indiana." He told her. Kelsey was a little freaked out, but still just thought that it was a friend joking around, one that knew. That she was visiting Northern Indiana. Anyway, Colin went back to sit in the TV room and Kelsey told him what has happened. He took out his phone when she wasn’t looking and dialed her number again. Kelsey picked up and Colin asked to talk to the stalker. Colin said, “Listen here, how about you grow some balls and come get us right now.” Colin pretended to be holding a conversation with him and ended by saying, “Okay, if you’re actually in Indiana, go ahead and call here from a payphone and don’t block the caller ID so we can see if the area code is right.”
After a few minutes, Colin got his brother and the family friend’s son to distract Kelsey while he went in the other room and used the house phone to call Kelsey’s cell. She was scared out of her mind but picked up anyway. “Kelsey, I told you, I’m at a rest stop in Plymouth. I’ll be in South Bend soon.” Kelsey hung up and let out a cry. Colin ran into the room and asked what happened. By that time, Kelsey was getting really scared.
And now for the grand finale! That night, everybody went back to Colin’s house. They all sat in his living room watching TV, still afraid of the stalker. Colin got up and told everyone that he had to go let his neighbor’s dogs out and check on their house as they were on vacation. Before he left, he grabbed a wig, a knife, a coat, and a bandana. Colin finished the chores he was doing for his neighbor and then headed into his backyard. He then called up Kelsey. “Kelsey, wherever you are right now, I want you to look outside.” Colin’s brother got up and turned on their backyard lights. They all saw the stalker, standing in the yard holding a knife. They all screamed and ran for their lives. The adults saw Colin outside and started laughing.
Kelsey was relieved, mad, but also thought the whole situation was funny. When they all ran, Kelsey’s little sister cried because she actually thought he was going to kill them.
Now, Colin is gonna see Kelsey again in a few days for a Fourth of July party. He thinks she is planning revenge, but he wants a good prank to follow this one up. I can help him out by calling her so she won’t think it’s him. We need something really good, any ideas?What is a good way to follow up this prank?
when you call her, make sure before you do, your friend is away from her, than say stuff like, "Your cousin may be a good actor, but I'm the real deal baby, I know your address (state it)." Then while you're talking, have him walk back to where she was, this would work better if you and your friend sounded alike, and also, work on some creepy laugh.
OMFG!!! HAHA DO THE SAME THING BUT A PERSON SHE DOESNT KNOW!!What is a good way to follow up this prank?
That was pretty good.
Sadly, I have not any ideas =[
Sorry, mate.
But man... That was GOOD.
wow. you people have good imaginations. lol, uhhmm you could always lay under her bed and then when she falls asleep start making noise, and when she goes to look what the ruckus is under her bed scream bloody marry at her.. yeahh im abit crappy at this owell mate. hope ya find something lol.What is a good way to follow up this prank?
don't have any pranks, but bnoy that was a good one! I'll ask around and see what my friends and family can come up with.

Help?! If I buy a phone here, and ship it to my boyfriend will the coverage be the same?
I am currently planning on buying a cell phone for my boyfriend, and adding him to my AT%26amp;T family plan, but there's one problem... He lives in new york and I am in oklahoma, I looked at the AT%26amp;T map and where he's at there's plenty of coverage, but I'm just nervous and not sure about if there's roaming? or what might happen, or if there would be any difference if he was to use it up there rather than down here? We realize that he can't get the area code up there, it would have to be the area code here because I will be activating it here, Anything that anyone could let me know about I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm just trying to cover all bases, Best answer will be given, Thanks! =)Help?! If I buy a phone here, and ship it to my boyfriend will the coverage be the same?
From what I understand AT%26amp;T gets absolutely horrible service in NY...especially NYC.

Just heard tornado sirens, should I be worried?
I went into the garage to get something and heard the faint sounds of tornado sirens. It's been raining but not thundering. I looked up my zip code on the weather site and checked the news stations and there aren't any warnings. Since there aren't any warnings for my area, should I be worried?Just heard tornado sirens, should I be worried?
They could just be severe weather sirens, but i would just get in your house anyway. If the wind grows very strong then get down to the lowest point in your house that has no windows. If that doesn't happen, just stay in your house and be ready.
Unless there are very violent wind gusts blowing outside of your house and a funnel cloud coming from the sky, I'd say you don't have much to worry about. (There's a small chance it's the nuke sirens but that's doubtful.)Just heard tornado sirens, should I be worried?
Hard to say for sure--could have been any number of things you heard--but I'd get indoors and turn on the tv/radio and keep a close eye on the weather anyway.
It could be a test? Hopefully your local news station is qualified enough to be in the position of warning people that they could potentially die. lolJust heard tornado sirens, should I be worried?
no you shouldnot be worried .. all is well dear . do not take tension for nothinginfiniti g37 vance and hines baltimore inner harbor game of thrones book

I'm buying a cell phone for my boyfriend and he lives 1200 miles away, Will the coverage be the same?

Stop. Do not do it. Do not believe that map or anything a sales person tells you. I bought an AT%26amp;T prepaid for a friend who ended up moving to New York. The coverage map said she was covered and the sales person confirmed it. She had no service.
That's one reason not to do it. The second is that you do not want to make your family legally liable for your boyfriend's phone use. You do not want to make them legally liable for an early termination fee if your relationship goes south. I know you think that bad things can't happen. They can and they usually do. Until you're legally married, keep your accounts separate.

Do you have good AT&T recieption in New York?

We realize that he can't get the area code up there, it would have to be the area code here because I will be activating it here, Anything that anyone could let me know about I'd greatly appreciate it, I'm just trying to cover all bases, and yes I know that this may seem like a bad idea because we live so far apart, and people may think we'll break up and he'll misuse the phone, but that is not going to happen, He is actually going to be moving here, and this would be happening anyway, but he really needs a phone now. Best answer will be given, Thanks! =)Do you have good AT%26amp;T recieption in New York?
There should be coverage in New York. I would be shocked if AT%26amp;T did not have coverage down there, they would loose out on a ton of money if they didn't. I don't have any first hand experience in New York but I have some colleages with AT%26amp;T in Connecticut who have never complained about reception issues (and if the tiny town in Connecticut has service New York should too).
As for roaming/long distance, no, you do not have to worry about charges. To be certain, if you look at your plan it should say "no roaming/long distance in the USA". I just quickly checked the Family plans and they all list this so you should be covered.

Craigslist help - urgent?
I have someone who barely speaks english, lives in the UK, is sending her daughter over to the States to live with a 'guardian' and a 'nanny', and is looking for a tutor for her - $50/hour. She's agreed to hire me. Willing to pay me through a money order. Says I can't call her daughter up for a chat because she doesn't have a number; she just got to the States.
I thought it sounded legit until I looked up the whole Craigslist verification code thing. Thing is, she keeps asking me to send her a verification code that Craigslist has sent to my phone - I thought this was all part of the process until I decided to grow half a brain and look it up.
Is she (or he maybe?) using my cell phone number (I had given it to her [him?] earlier) to post spam/scams up on Craigslist? Also, whenever I do get a text from Craigslist, it's always in French, and the number area code is 714 - should I just drop this deal and look for something else?
She asked for my billing address so she could wire me the money, and because I'm obviously an idiot very desperate for money, I gave it to her. Should I be worried?
She has, however, left the timing and venue of the tutoring up to me entirely, so maybe she isn't a scammer.
Also, I'm confused about weather it's a he or she because whenever she emails, it's from a 'Samuel Anderson', but she always signs off as Suzie Wong.
Am I being an idiot?Craigslist help - urgent?
100% scam.
There is no job, no daughter, no one traveling and no one in the UK.
There is only one scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money by sending a fake check to your billing address, shred the check when it comes and ignore further emails from that criminal.
The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and will demand you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "travel company" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal.
Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.
When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like "FBI@ gmail.com", "police_person @hotmail.com" or "investigator @yahoo.com" and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer's attempt at impersonating a law enforcement official can be extremely funny.
Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.
You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.
Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.
Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.
6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs:
1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one.
2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order.
3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity.
4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone.
5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram.
6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site.
Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason.
If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union tutor scam", "money mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.Craigslist help - urgent?
It is a scam. I've gotten the same emails. People beginning their emails with a woman's name and ending with a man's name. Saying they have a son and than a daughter in the next email. Drop this deal and I believe you should be worried about the address thing. Do not give the person (man, woman, whoever it is) any more information.Craigslist help - urgent?
100% SCAM
DO NOT send your address. If you already did, then they are going to send you fake checks. DO NOT cash them -- if anything comes through UPS, FedEx, etc and you did not order it or recognize the sender, refuse delivery. If they send it throguh normal mail, then hand it over to your local post office and tell them to forward to the Postal Inspector. With your address they can target you with fake lottery scams, reshipping scams, money mule scams, etc. So do not believe anything you get in the mail that you won a prize, do not accept any packages from people you do not know or did not order, etc
There is NO daughter, no tutor, nobody in the UK. There is a scammer who is trying to get you to commit felony money laundering through your personal bank account and ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law. They will send you a money order for $2500 instead of $50 then say their secretary made a mistake and that you should just deposit it, keep $300 in advance for your time then wire $2200 to their 'travel agent' or some other third party through Western Union
Also, that verification code is not from Craiglist - that's a scam to get you to sign up for a premium rate service that you cannot cancel, another way for the scammer to make money from you. If you text that number, you will be paying up to $5 to send and receive all texts.
These scammers use so many aliases that they can't keep them straight -- and Suzie Wong is the name of a movie character from the 1960s
What you can do to get this person off your back is write back to say that you have a family emergency and have to travel out of the country tomorrow so you will not be able to accept the job as you may be gone for 6 months. Say that you have already informed your neighbor and left a note on your door that if any packages come for you that they should be returned to sender, so if she already sent the money order, it will be returned to her
Your biggest problem is that now you have responded your email as been added to a "mugu" list and you'll be spammed to death
This is a complete and total scam. So far, all they have is your address, right? Don't give them ANYTHING else. Ignore any further communication from them or from that area code.
You could try reporting them to Craigslist -- although I doubt they'll do anything about it.
