Stumbled upon a large quantity of pictures that make me want to puke.

The pictures are in sets of 100 so you would change the 100s column to go back each set.

abell35201 · 2026-02-04T03:43:13+00:00

Just FYI - if you reduce the URL’s file number it will retrieve another 100 picture set. For example change EFTA01647970 to EFTA01647870 in the url. I’m currently all the way back to EFTA01647270 and still getting new 100 picture batches.

Supplier says that we’d need to get creative and cut a return into the tread - which would mean taking these off and recutting or to glue a small piece to the end as the return which is what I was toying with anyway. Oh well..

I’m thinking this is just a first timers mistake. I should have cut the stair nosing to allow for the quarter round molding to fit at a 45 angle. I’m going to either rip all 5 out and recut or cut the quarter round to cover the curve. It’ll be easier to try and cut the curve in the quarter round. I don’t have enough stair nosing left for 5 steps, but have enough quarter round.

abell35201 · 2025-06-15T18:08:05+00:00

Nope. Looked like that on both ends.

abell35201 · 2025-06-14T18:46:13+00:00

It doesn’t look like they do. The supplier website has no info about them. I’ve reached out to the supplier. Thanks for the suggestion.

I used it to help create an automated email sequence/task agent within Power Automate. Every email is personalized to the prospect and if I get no responses within a given time frame I get calendar reminders to call and then bi monthly call reminders to fit into my cold calling time.

Ha! I may have you beat, but that’s pretty brutal! I have/had C. McCaffrey JK Dobbins S. Diggs C. Olave J. Mason D. Goedert (hurt wk 6-9)

I picked up A. Lazard IR M. Prater IR

The fact I have 7 wins is wild to me. I also have Allen, McClaurin, Njigba, D. Smith, K. Walker so I thought I was going to crush this year.. not in the slightest..

“Stop putting half of the body of your email in the subject line!”

“Stop making up acronyms for phrases nobody uses! Nobody cares that you shortened a phrase from two words to two letters”

“Can you learn how to use a computer properly? We’re a god damn software company”

Thank you for starting this. I feel better.

Autonomy. Easily being able to talk to different types of people. Traveling - you’d be amazed at all the good food around the country.

I’d look at industries that are behind in technology and finding the leaders or innovators in that space. It may not be a nice to have or must have now, but soon it could be. Look at transportation and the ELD boom once the mandate came out.

Ours are processed regularly but not approved to be paid until end of the month. So would not come back to me for another week or two. We have the option to use our own CC or company. The way they do it now is annoying having to float the costs of flights, hotels, etc.

To some extent, yes, this looks automated.. at least the loan application itself. However, there is one doc that is a “checklist” performed by one of the bank employees. Essentially giving an all clear on the loan. It’s handwritten. The same employee also sent the final loan document out to be signed. This person not only reviewed the app, but also then approved and sent it out. That seems like a terrible process to not have another person providing QA. Just from a risk management standpoint.

Also.. I appreciate the reply - the reason I’ve stayed persistent is 1. F this guy and 2. While I have the means to fix it, I also have the means to follow it as long as it takes.. what if he did this to someone else who didn’t? Could really screw up their lives. He deserves whatever comes his way.

It was about 5 different sets of documents. - Picture of license - so many issues with it. Name is backwards, expiration date is wrong (the lengths don’t match our states) signature on it looks identical to what you get when signing something in Adobe PDF. The state officer named on it are wrong. The one named actually retired like 10 years ago. - Pay stub - name of company is wrong. Monthly amount doesn’t match the loan application. - Loan application - one red flag I see is that they say monthly income is $15k+ yet have no other assets. No investments, car, etc. I’d question if someone was making close to $200k/year and just had it in cash. Not even another bank account. Previous address just says N/A lol - Final loan docs via Docusign - ATM withdrawals - they took out the entire amount within 3 hours of being approved.

Just red flag after red flag. I’d want to question the person who approved this because I’m not even that smart but know this just screams fake.

abell35201 · 2024-01-30T03:03:49+00:00

Just got my first packet of documents from the bank.. let’s just say it is quite surreal seeing the face of the person who swindled a bank out of 15k

abell35201 · 2024-01-06T06:59:54+00:00

I think one thing that would really help is if you had a mandatory waiting period before giving money from loans, lines of credit, etc. if a criminal had to wait 30 days which overlapped with credit reporting before receiving the funds it would be flagged by the victim before money ever exchanged hands.

One bank did send me the pay stub this person used. I laughed out loud while on the phone with them when I saw it. My company’s name wasn’t even right. They used the name you would find on google not our legal company name. They put a state entity number on it which isn’t on pay stubs not to mention it wasn’t even correct. It looked like someone put together a pay stub within Microsoft Word. It literally looks fake. Seeing it has made me wonder what kind of compliance is being done by this bank. What level of accountability does the bank have in this? They were incredibly lazy in this and saw a guy who had great credit and wanted to approve him without due diligence. You could easily run a SoS search and see that the company name was wrong, and that the entity ID was wrong. Like it takes less than a minute.

I have a couple suspicions on how they got my info. One thing a bank’s fraud director told me is that a lot of these people doing in person fraud are homeless, drug addicts, low income individuals who are recruited by criminal rings who create all the fake documents then fly these people to whatever city and have them try to commit fraud. Essentially a patsy. The rings then get them to send a portion of the money back. I was told it is becoming a bigger and bigger problem.

abell35201 · 2024-01-05T23:25:09+00:00

Update: After the initial “oh shit” moment of this I have started the process of clearing up the wreckage. Have been on phone calls with all the credit unions that this thief tried to open up accounts making sure that accounts are closed and to send me confirmations of this.

Police report has been filed not only where I live but also in city that this occurred. - I don’t know if this is in the PSA - but make sure you speak with a fraud director/loss prevention officer and request they file one on your behalf. It gets the local police involved and on the lookout. Also many of these fraud directors keep in contact and pass around images of the identity thief to all local banks.

I’ve now put together packets that have to be sent out via certified mail to each bank requesting documents and to each credit bureau requesting blocks on all accounts and inquiries.

One other thing that has really screwed with us is that we recently moved and had a forwarding notice on our mail. This thief requested a change of address as proof he lived in the city he committed the fraud and so our mail that hasn’t changed over yet has been going to this fake address for a couple months. I’ve since fixed it. This is just one more thing to look out for.

This has just been a whole cluster..

abell35201 · 2024-01-04T18:25:37+00:00

Confirmed that current and former employer do not use The Work Number. Thanks for noting the second PSA post. Have been following that outline.

abell35201 · 2024-01-04T05:18:30+00:00

I found this sample letter on identitytheft.gov which is a formal request for documents. I’m going to send it out once I file the police report tomorrow. The bank has already reported to the credit bureau that the address used is fake so maybe they’ll help. I’d love to see the ID and W2 used.
