How about attempted murder? "I didnt kill you, i just tried to"

. . . exactly my friend. . . if someone walks up to you and pulls a gun out and shoots you in the head . . . what are cops gunna do .. . prevent it from happening? wether you die or live it still happened and there is nothing they could have done to prevent it what so ever again i say all they can do is investigate it after it happened

oh and attempted murder is a crime . . . attempted scamming is not a crime on the books

I can shed some light on this:
I had a roommate who left the country and gave me a check for their last month's rent. I deposited it, it cleared with my bank, i spent the funds, whatevs. 2 weeks later My account balance is out $600. I called my bank they said the check bounced. I obviously was very pissed about how it "cleared" and then suddenly didn't clear. I left the bank, told them i would never do business with them again, and that I would slander them. On that note NEVER BANK WITH CIBC!!! They simply told me "We will have creditors after you if you dont pay us back."
So i payed.

Clifnotes: If someone gives you a check and it clears, it can still bounce and you will be responsible. It's ridiculous.

Another Scam type e-mail?? What do you guys think? It's funny because I was actually trying to sell my system to get cash to join the gym...but I think it's a scam...

"hi, would u like to trade your xbox for three 12 month all club membership passes to 24 hour fitness? u can use them for yourself/family or sell them on craigslist/ebay for $250 to $330 each... these are for access to active, sport, shaq, and magic johnson 24 hour fitness locations. each pass has a hologram and an individual serial number to ensure validity. there are NO FEES WHATSOEVER with these passes. this is not a scam, this is real... let me know if ur interested... i can't sell them myself but i can trade them..."

Forging money and counterfeiting checks is though...

Hi guys,

I just registered to state that I just received the spam. It is good, oh is it good. Got the same EM that you got OP. This is a complete scam and needs to be dealt with authority.

This happened to me and my car about 4 months ago. The guy tried the same crap. I receive a check from Fargo Bank. I call the bank on the check and they told it was counterfeit.
My local police didn't give a rat’s ass so I tracked the guy down myself. Found out from local tax records that he open several shell companies and used those companies to buy random items. To make a long story short I track down an address to a plot of land next do to a large gas station and garage. I called the garage and asked to speak with ***** (can't remember his name at the moment). Some guy came on and asked who's calling. Told him Chris was calling and to F off for trying to scam me.

at the same time you kind of want to just ignore it because if you cant tell between the scamming emails vs. legit ones then you shouldn't be seeling in the first place... also once your reply they get your email also then your prone to spamming...

sounds legit you should do it asap
