[09:24] oh yeah. morning. [09:24] Sorry :D [09:25] let's try to stay in the right channel [09:25] Morning [09:27] Theres nothing wrong with that channel. [09:27] :p [09:28] I know [09:31] but....it usually doesn't get much use during the week [09:31] we could fix that! [09:31] :D [09:31] it doesn't even see much use on Mondays when we are supposed to have a meeting [09:32] yes, get everyone here to sign in there ;-) [10:29] not even morning yet [10:30] Hey walt [10:31] *YAWN* [10:31] (yo) [10:31] I've been arguing with a nigerian spammer all morning. [10:33] That's what you get for waking up so early [10:34] yeah [12:04] Morning peoples [12:07] hey [13:21] So will we see JonathanD typing in there next monday? Plus all the rest of you all. We could even do a project among ourselves then too. [13:22] Hi. [13:22] Did he send you your inheritance, yet? [13:22] No. [13:23] He was trying to get a girl to give him her email address so he could fly her to his store in new york (he was connected from a nigerian ip, mind, and claimed to be at his home in new york) [13:23] He needed someone to work at the store while he goes to africa to get cloth. [13:27] Hmmm, there is a street in NY that caters to Africa traders, I forgot the name of though. Mostly a method to move merchandise from the world into a particular African country to sell to Mfgrs & consumers. Bypassing at least some of the graft taxes. [13:28] I have his supposed store address [13:29] You could 'walk' the street on google maps and see the store front. Assuming google drove the street since he started his business. [13:29] I asked him about a burger place across the street. He blew it. [13:36] Interestingly, it appears his address does not exist. [13:36] the burger place is on (or should be) the same side of the street. [13:36] There is a 200, and a 196, but no 198 [13:37] he, he, he [13:37] The joys to google mapping verification [13:37] burger place looks large enough to get 2 address spost. [13:37] *spots [13:38] It might be 'upstairs' with obscure number on old small doorway to stairs. [13:38] I'm more inclinced to think it doesn't exist. [13:39] zillow and gmaps both say it doesn't. [13:39] Sometimes the PO gets address request too crowded and you'll see: 198 1/2 [13:39] There you go validating again. [13:39] The location he gave for his house would be a multi-million dollar property, too [13:39] I'm not sure why he feels the need to hire people over irc. I guess he can't find anyone to ask in NYC> [13:40] InHisName: in any event, I'm sending in ground forces around noon. [13:40] Wages there are stiffer than eCommuters wages might be. For a store, seem a bit far fetched. [13:41] What more validation, from some friend in NY, now ? [13:41] he specifically said he would fly them in. [13:41] InHisName: indeed. [13:41] scammer was told to go to the burger place and look for steve. [13:42] steve will have a nametag [13:42] steves name is not steve, but he'll be steve for today. [13:42] More likely though, steve is just going to have a burger, see no one, and leave. [13:42] 'steve' is a real person in the burger joint ? [13:42] Oh, customer, not employee. [13:43] customer. [13:43] he can validate the non-existance of the address too, probably. [13:43] Interesting, a customer with a name tag.... [13:44] Although I've been that when leaving a convention and eating somewhere before home. [13:48] InHisName: the name tag is only for "kin" [13:48] the scammer [13:48] we don't want him knowing the guys real info if he does magically show up === LordOfTime is now known as TheLordOfTime
