GeorgiaDon 380 #2 February 26, 2012 Seeing your thread title in Speaker's Corner, I thought "Scambo" was some new derogatory right-wing name for Obama. Good luck to your brother.

lurch 0 #3 February 26, 2012 I wouldn't bother with following the link. Everything about this screams Yet Another Stupid Nigerian Internet Scam. Random individual referring to us as "you skydivers", obviously not one, and puts up a link to some place asking for money. These are the same morons who fill the comments sections of news websites with cut and pastes telling you all about buying viagra and housewares from buybuybuyrightnowwhilewestealurcreditcard.com. The mold of the internet, accumulates in cruddy places. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lurch 0 #8 February 27, 2012 Then you have my immediate apologies. I stand corrected. You are not mold. You are somebody trying to help someone you care about. If I might suggest, putting up some sort of story, info or detail might help your cause. The way your initial post presented itself bore a certain resemblance to a number of standard internet nuisance scams. Enough so that after looking at your post for awhile I figured I was looking at somebody scambombing the forum. Happens on Facebook and anywhere else people can post things from time to time. It might also be why the post attracted so few responses. It may have looked that way to others. Obviously I thought wrong. Please excuse my ill manners, best of health to you and Scambo. Good luck. -BLive and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
