    Still can't get over the Canadian Mounties! HAHAHAHAH

    I worked ambulance for a number of years and between saving people and putting up with bullshit, we did a lot of pranking
    We would find scammers and mess with the similar to this

    One of the best was when a medic got pissed at my partner and I over something negligible, he posted our numbers on Craigslist in the
    "Looking for a good time, man on man action"

    The entire shift we had to turn off our phones from all the calls and texts
    Never have I seen so many creeps send a picture of their dick as a 'hello text'

    Let us know how this goes!

    A few months ago there was a similar good deal offered for a restored land cruiser that the owner said would be shipped on trial. The arrangement was that you sent your cheque to the shipping company, and they held it until you "accepted" the truck. If you didn't accept it, then it was shipped back at the owners expense. When things sound too good to be true, then they probably are, unless you know and trust the parties involved. I couldn't quite get how the scam worked though, unless the shipping company is actually the seller, and cashes the cheque while you wait for the shipment of a vehicle that never comes. This deal kind of reminds me of it. Greed is a powerful motivator in humans, and can sometimes trick us into deluding ourselves when we want something bad enough.
