    Hey FATDAN!

    Does that name really describe you? Too bad. Discipline can be difficult. Old guys, like me, don't automatically think of fraud and dishonesty as you seen to do. I hope your day gets better. jimshaw30

    LOL, I'm old too my friend, my grand daughter seemed to think I'm fat whether I am or not when I told her I was "too old and Fat to get on a trampoline with her", so she introduced me to her friends as her "Grandpa fatdan", and it is easy to spell...

    if you don't think about fraud/dishonesty today you must not watch the news or read emails either, right? Or could you just be naive, having never tried to sell something in the paper or on the net and watched the scamming cockroaches come out of the cracks? Technology wise the world is great, a day doesn't pass that I find something new that amazes me, morality wise it sucks big time, people who wouldn't have the balls to steal from you in person think it is fine to steal from a faceless victim hundreds of miles away via technology....

    Thanks for the wishes, but everyday is good for me, the only way today could be any better is if someone came to my door selling a anti-aging pill that worked, and even THEN I wouldn't give them my REAL NAME or PHONE #....

     

    California is a scam!

     

    In reference to the remark everything w/ 805 is a scam, I have no problems w/ Cali, other than the highway traffic I love it...

    You go, Dan!

    As an old cowboy from Arizona, now retired in the "show me" state, I  prefer to trust people until they prove me wrong. It's the cowboy way. As to technology, we're pretty sophisticated these days. We even buy and sell our cattle and good horses on the internet.

    There is no doubt that the junk mail, and fraudulent calls started when I decided to see what the surveys were all about. My bad!  I posted the message in the hope that WGT, which I consider a great site, would screen more carefully in the future, and to make to make the issue known to other members.

    I spent all day on a horse yesterday, and I'm a little sore today. Now for me, that's old. best regards

    For SweetiePie -

           Took my family out of the "Golden State" nearly 40 years ago!  Most of the diverse beauty and curiosities had 2 legs and walked around with their left ears on the ground (LOL)  - looks like not much has changed !!

    Me too, just outside of St. Louis...

    A friend of mine deals with horses/tack/trailers too...and 1 of my daughters ride,

    my friend(a lawyer) sold a saddle she won (worth like $20,000 according to her) via the net for $9,000 to a guy from Texas, she refused to ship he had to come and get it...he shows up looking just as you would expect him to, had the accent, license plates, Texas drivers license, $2000 in cash and a perfectly good cashiers check for $7000...

    Bank and Check was phony, plates and license phony, I'd bet money the clothes and accent were too lol...

    2nd time she was beat, other was a trailer but she got it back 9 months later...AND SHE is a LAWYER...these f'n scam artists are good!
