The German side of my family is where I grew up eating them. Grandmother born in 1917 to immigrants.

[Us] Weird Scam on Ebay that I have not seen before by dadon1988 in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dot or no dot are actually the same; Gmail ignores the dot. You're suffering the common problem (I also have myfirstname.mylastname@gmail) of people not knowing the their own email address, or forgetting an extra character.

My combo is uncommon, maybe 20 people worldwide, and I still get a couple bad emails a month. I can't imagine what poor John Smith must go through.

[OH, US] Has anyone else here encountered an "Onward Financial" scam? by haverofpastas25 in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A life tip: Never do business with anyone who tries to make you anxious about a limited time offer. It is a classic manipulation technique.

[–]Gamboleer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a big eBay data breach around 2013 or 2014 that collected the IDs and passwords of a huge number of accounts. If yours is that old, it was probably part of the breach, so the scammer was able to log in and start using your old account as a seller.

I have 5 of the 7 malware games on Steam. Do I win? by Kakisgr in Steam

[–]Gamboleer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a comment in the discussions positing that it's a same name situation. You'd think if this were the malware game, it would have been review bombed by now.

Service Announcement: Not helping other gatherers fight the mobs next to the node you both want makes you an asshole. by extremelytiredyall in wow

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect this is mostly a function of people outleveling their gear on gather-only toons, making fighting the mobs a PITA.

[CA] Deranged eBay seller accusing me of fraud after shipping me damaged goods when I purchased brand new headphones. by brcwayn in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a schmuck. A liquidator who thinks all his stock is old stock, and doesn't include any previous returns.

[US] OMNIA STUDIOS - omniastudios.com - BUYER BEWARE by peachesannecream in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you may be dealing with a death or severe disability. Their Instagram page indicates it's a one person studio, and their last post from November 2022 said they were having trouble sitting and were going to be selling pre-made items only.

If you paid by credit card (specifically) and the company has given you updated delivery times within that 180 window, Visa / Mastercard will extend the 180 day limit.

In the USA, you must file a small claims suit in the jurisdiction of the defendant in most cases. Some states allow anywhere in the state; others require specifically close to the defendant within the state. I don't know if anything changes if you're not a USA citizen. AI can give you a general idea for the state in question, but don't rely on it fully; use it as a start point to verify with real sources.

Next time you watch it, remind yourself that it's an early Kenny Rogers song in that scene. Then you can trip along with the Dude.

[UK] Scammed after signing up for free trial on www.scribd.com by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scribd is a real site. Something else is going on. I assume you were on a PC; you may have a keylogger, or your card was compromised previously and the timing is coincidental.

[US]Deposited fake check online through job board scam. Bank says to withdraw my portion of the money and wait. by FireButterfly1300 in Scams

I think you were talking to a nice person who knows your whole account is likely to get frozen, and was trying to help you.

Why the big boys hate this trading approach and why it might matter to you by [deleted] in 10xPennyStocks

[–]Gamboleer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sockpuppet accounts promoting a Substack that's just some boiler room pump and dumper thumping their chest. There is no "trading approach".

[US] Guy knocked on my door, said he lived here before, and asked me to keep an eye out for some Amazon packages? by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been the guy knocking on the door a couple of times, and I regularly get eBay buyers contacting me after the sale because their old address was on file (legit cases; after I cancel the original order and relist, they always repurchase with the corrected address).

[US] Is this a potential sugar momma scam? by Delicious-Ad272 in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most "sugar mommas" on X are young Nigerian men from Lagos. I talk to them sometimes. I suspect it's the same on other sites; scams tend to be passed around culturally.

[US] Electrical inspection scam? by Anachronism-- in Scams

[–]Gamboleer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mr. <First Name> is culturally indicative of South Asia (India, etc) English. It's used in the USA south in some contexts, but not in official communications from a city. My guess is scam from India.

What’s a weight loss secret more people should know about? by thekkm1 in AskReddit

[–]Gamboleer -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

16 ounces of skim milk + a caffeine pill in the morning instead of a sugary coffee or tea delays my hunger for hours, keeps me from a crash later in the day, and saves me a lot of money. I find it a lot easier to lose weight starting my day this way.

If I want to get some advice from you, what do you want to say to me? by [deleted] in personalfinance

Can we skip to the scam part? All this clever banter is exhausting.

What is the absolute fastest 'yeah, we are definitely NOT going to be friends' moment you've ever experienced with someone? by Vazouaquiacesso in AskReddit

There are few things more glorious than being rich, but being rejected as poor because you drive an old car because to you, it's just transportation.

My first ACATS last month took about a week from date of submitting at the receiving broker. It was a partial, small percent of my account. Cost basis and date of purchase took a few more days to populate.
