115 VAC turboejaculator hand pumps
Someone contacted me saying "I wanna buy your product" and I told him
what I have for sale. Here's his reply. ``Hello Igor, Thank you for your email back and i will like you to get back to me with the total cost of 6pcs of the electric 115 VAC turboejaculator hand pumps which have price is $1,300 without shipping cost because i will be recommending a shipping company who will be coming in for pick up to the delivery address and also i will like to know if you accept credit card as a form of payment.Hope to read back from you soon with the total cost of that,so we can proceed with the order.

Yeah, I have been getting these requests for a while, now. The usual is they want to buy something from me, but then ask for a link to my store so they can select the items. Obviously, if they have NO IDEA what I actually sell, how could they possibly know they one to buy some of it? I don't know what the real deal is. I was guessing they just want to get ANY response, as that indicates they have a valid email address. But, you got an actual response back, although it might be a computer-generated one, if their program is that smart. So, what is the deal? They want to pay you with a stolen credit card #, and have you ship "something" to them via their preferred carrier? Presumably the shipper shows up REAL QUICK to pick up, before the credit card is verified, and you are supposed to be flustered and let them have it. Jon |

I was wondering, but didn't bother to investigate, I just dump the spam. I have gotten a number of these weird requests in the last couple weeks, asking me to send them a link to my store so they could order something, or asking me to provide all sorts of odd gear, Fluke meters or commerial industrial test gear of that sort, which I don't sell. They may have gotten my company out of some kind of list that indicates I sell electrical gear. I had to register as a government contractor to get paid for some units I'm making, and I think that got me on a LOT of lists I'd rather not be on.

So, tell, me; are you one of those old lonely people who when a telemarketer calls, are so desperate to hear the sound of a human voice that you'll chat up the telemarketer because it's better than sitting at home, all alone, waiting for Godot? Those people are anathema to telemarketers - they know you're not going to buy ****, but you're so desperately lonely for company that you'll engage the telemarketer in some conversation, while he looks at the clock, too polite to just hang up on you, but already knowing that he ain't gonna make **** for the ten minutes of his calling time you've just wasted simply by being so pathetic? Those people are the reason I quit telemarketing, plus the fact that I never sold ****. Thanks, Rich |

Don't tell me you've never run into a money hungry high pressure salesman who will tell you anything to make a sale. They were as bad as the Wall Street Journal. But, can you identify specifically any particular strategy or ruse that they used to induce you to do actions that you knew better than to do? Why was, "Thanks, not interestedclick" not good enough? Thanks, Rich no Unfortunately -- Richard Lamb |

I had more credit than I wanted from my various suppliers. I paid all my bills early, (Which saved me 1.5% on every bill) and I had more work than I could handle at times. I didn't even have a listed phone number, and I wasn't in the Yellow pages. All my work came from referrals. One school system sent the head of their maintenance department to the area I lived to look for my truck to ask me to put in a bid for the sound system for their stadium. I won the bid and ended up with all the electronics work for that school system. Things were great, till I got sick and couldn't climb ladders or carry 150 pound TVs up two flights of stairs by myself. -- Politicians should only get paid if the budget is balanced, and there is enough left over to pay them. |
