The following scam has been reported: Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.This username has been disabled. Safe swoops Sangiro -

The student experienced an unstable freefall and the instructor was unable to stablilze them. Unclear if anything was deployed, but the student was killed instantly on impact with the ground.

Yup - it's as simple as that. Unless you use and escrow service you will never hear from this person again once you've made a payment. Safe swoops Sangiro -

Another user actually spotted this one. I just checked into it, and there are quite a few give-aways. I don't want to publish all of them here for scammers to read. Not having access to IPs and stuff like that here are some things that should have made you a bit suspicious: The first is that this was posted on the same day the user registered. Not per se a scam but always a reason to go: "Hmmm?" The subject line is in all caps and has been cut off. That's because my subject lines are limited in length. You will not realize that if you just copy and paste the subject from somewhere else. If you were typing that you'd realize that it stopped accepting characters. Read the actual subject line. Sounds like something a skydiver would write?More importantly though (and this is harder to know unless you saw the ad on eBay), when it was posted there, the user claimed to be in the US. Now, from the ad and the profile, he lives in the UK. A quick look at the IP address he used to register and post the ad from, and looking at the country that IP belongs to made it even more bizarre. The ad looks legit because it was copied from a legitimate ad on eBay. You have to spot the scam mostly through other means. I rely heavily on you guys to let me know when you smell a rat.

Nick, There's a point at which you need to cast what someone has written and let them stand by it. The problem with being able to edit forever is that people can come back many many moons after they made a post, edit it and change the context of the entire post or cause the string of 50 replies to look and feel out of context. This would also be a loophole to come back and delete content (just edit it to an empty post) causing even more orphaned gibberish. You have to lock it in at some point. 6 hours is what you have to "proof" your writing and I think that's a reasonable time to add that extra comma. Safe swoops Sangiro

Did I scratch your truck in a previous life? I think you misunderstood my reason for locking that thread. I think a discussion about the ABP will inevitably also bring into discussion some of the decisions and the management practices of the leadership - including Robin Heid - and I'm perfectly OK with that. It is after all an open organization that solicited funds from members. You can talk about the ABP as much as you like, you can talk about the decisions made by Robin and the rest of the BOD, and even call them out by name as much as you like. You can NOT go off on a string of personal attacks about history and gripes that has absolutely no relevance on the issue at hand. How's the conversation going over there on Blinc?

Tom, Leave this thread but see if you can get folks here to have a discussion about the ABP without Robin Heid becoming the topic. I know that's not going to be easy and the ABP discussion is relevant at this time, but let's keep the conversation focussed on the right things. Safe swoops Sangiro

Now, I've eaten a few pounds of raw fish from Africa to Tokyo but seeing as most of you are in the US: If you seriously want to eat sushi and not sit around and stare at the nice plates, and you happen to find yourself in LA - go to this place, sit down at the bar, order the "Trust Me" special, shut up and eat what he gives you. http://losangeles.citysearch.com/profile/321700 If you order a California Roll at Sushi Nozawa you will get thrown out. Charlize Theron (cute lass from our village) got kicked out for ordering too much! Hehehe! Nozawa-san has made friends and enemies but his sushi is simply the best that side of the Pacific. Feel free to come back here and thank me for letting you know. Safe swoops Sangiro
