    Somewhere in the Mojave Desert...
    Vehicle:
    2017 Tacoma OR 4x4 (formerly 2002 OR 4x4, 1995 4x4 4Runner, 1985 4x4 Toy PU) ... and RIP’s (rust in pieces) to a Bronco II 4x4 & S10 Blazer 4x4
    Honestly? :facepalm:

    If its real and not a scam, I would have helped her. Our neighbor was a new widow and was selling her husband’s motorcycle for $150 at a garage sale. I took it and offered to sell it for her on EBay and kept a little bit, and she got back over $3500 for it, and I kept 10% after she insisted on me keeping it.

    Actually, it was stolen and she was never married. :thumbsup: JK...

    But for reals, she was so distraught about her husband that she wanted to sell all his memories and wasn’t really making good financial decisions.

    Let me guess, it was discovered that you have an estranged great, great uncle from Nigeria who recently passed away and left his fortune to you in his will and they just need your bank account info so they can wire it over

    I used to have thousands of bad money orders id received in scams. They were pretty obvious and I would milk then for all I could. I particularly loved when they threatened to call the police. Id give them the number for dispatch and tell them to ask for my badge number.

    They never called....

    It's amazing that you see the same pictures over and over on those scam Tacoma listings.

    I never could understand how people fall for scams. I guess most of the general population is dumber than I actually think they are. There really is a sucker born every minute.

    One of the top trending searches on google was “does corona cause coronovirus?”

    Need I say more?

    My neighbors told me yesterday that they'd heard the coronavirus was transmitted through the cornea of the eye.

    That really happened.

    That's true -- one definitely could catch 2019-nCoV via the cornea, and the best advice is indeed to keep one's hands away from one's eyes! These guys I think thought the cornea was the SOLE route of transmission.
