My friends came over and laughed at my for mentioning the free Papermate deal posted here.
They said it was a scam so I rang the website owner and she had no idea about the free pens
and she confirmed it was some kind of a hack/scam. I am unable to locate the original post so I am
unaware if it was 'proven' a scam and i wanted to tell you all it has been verfied as a scam.
Does anyone know where or how i can access the original post?

Does this mean the Nigerians are going to call?
If they show up to my door should i set up a man trap?

    no and no
    however, have your bank account details ready when they ask you if they can deposit their money into your account

    the scammers will probably sell it to companies for purposes like This

      Man traps? It's not gonna do enough damage to stop scammers. Use IEDs instead. Better control and effect. :D

      Deposit money? In no way am I giving my details to them. I would request them to deliver the amount in pure gold bars under my own snipers scopes.

          @stumo, Nope, It's a squatter or whatever you want to call it.

        • stumo on 22/04/2011 - 20:38

          @neil

          Then maybe you should quickly register http://www.savingstip.com.au/ (ie. no 's'). Its available.

          Eye for and eye and all that.

    Nice, but I personally don't mind being scammed at such 'fake deals'. All they can do is spam my PO BOX (Very lonely at the moment) and my useless email addresses (Still got 99% room to use up).

    However, for others, I think it is a lesson to learn:

    Never Give Real Details For Freebies

    :D
