I never ' open ' anything when it's ' highlighted ' in Yellow .... NEVER
If you do, they'll know you have received it because it ' sends ' them a receipt that you opened it.
Nothing better to do, than to fraudulently take money from people and laugh about it.... and live a affluent lifestyle.:mad2:

Must be Con Day. I just received a recorded voice call about fraudulent activity carried out in my name and that an arrest warrant has been issued.
Any of you guys want to collect a bounty?

That's it - your highlighting discrimination enforces me to not open ' anything ' in single quotation ' marks ' ever ' again '. :P
I always send things in highlighter - it highlights the con.

Pfft ... Original Optics not original tube or focuser. For that price you could buy the New Zeiss 150 Quadruplet Polychromat refractor.
Alice gets these type of messages on her phone constantly, never responds though.

I supposedly have won the lottery by email so many times, I could probably afford to buy the Keck Observatory (let alone an EQR-6). I modestly turned it all down so as not to pay the “administrative fee” of $1,000 before collecting my millions LOL.

Amazon kindly robo-calls me to let me know when my credit card has been used to buy an iPhone. Apparently I have purchased somewhere between 8 and 10 of them over recent weeks.

I keep getting insurance fraud scams - phone call originates from Uk or sometimes specifically says Scotland. Sometimes a Perth WA number, but ALWAYS the con-artist has a pommy accent (not indian or african - go figure!). They'll mumble something, about their name and company, which I ask to repeat as they always mumble it. Then they start about "This is in relation to the accident you had recently". Each time I answer back "But that's concluded - I killed the guy"...and then I start a psychological melt down if they persist past that (they usually hang up).
I actually had one guy apologise, tell me it was a mistake and said they wouldn't be calling again.

( all the while I'm smirking on my end ) ...doo .doo.doo.doo ..oh I was enjoying this, he hung up....:lol:

All the calls I get are recordings telling me they are the tax office or amazon etc. I've never listened to the end to find out what they say. How come you guys get actual people calling you?

In the last week I've been getting a lot of SMS messages informing me of tracking for deliveries I am not expecting - with a suspicious link.
Now in the last 24 hours I've been receiving voice calls telling me my internet has been hacked, and they want to know how many devices I have connected.
My response is "I don't have the internet". It completely throws them off their script. :rofl:

I very rarely get these calls. I am disappointed. I love stringing them along. The last one I got was in relation to shares and he vouched for a 100% return. He said I only needed to invest a few hundred dollars and pay him via Paypal after I gave him my login details (which I most certainly did not). I had him on the phone for about 15 minutes discussing the returns. In the end, I told him that if he was so sure, why didn't he invest the money for me, when we made the profit, that I get the profit and he gets to keep his initial investment. It's a sure thing but he didn't want to put his own money in, just mine.....naturally.
