It happens in RI all the time. Half the arcade ads on CL RI are fakes. |

There isn't a lot more to it than someone being a ---meecrob---. |

Funny, he is giving away all of that stuff for free, but wants $500 for a wine cooler. :laugh2: Anyways, I have a funny story about using phony numbers in want ads: My Boss's son comes in every once in a while and messes with one of the old timers that works here. The old guy got on his case one day, so the boss's kid decided to get revenge in a clever way. He posted an ad in the local trading journal for the old timers truck at a ridiculously good price...but with a note that says "only call after 10PM due to work schedule". He got calls at all hours of the night for 2 weeks. That was so cruel...but BRILLIANT! |
