    Funny as hell this morning. Just got a offer to purchase my GSXR1000 Superbike. Here's what the buyer says:


    Kinda Sir,
    I will proceed with the transaction now and purchase your item. kindly login to your paypal account and select the request money button located at the top of your paypal account homepage and send the money request directly to my paypal account id which is [email protected] so that i can submit payment to you via paypal right now as paypal is safe, fast and easy to send and receive money online.

    If you dont have a paypal account just logon to www.paypal.com and set up your paypal account, after setting up your paypal account you locate the request money button located at the top of your paypal account home page, use it to request money directly from my paypal account which is [email protected] once I receive your money request from paypal, I will submit payment to you immediately via paypal. Get back asap


    My reply was:
    Casey,
    Wow I'm so excited that this sic GSXR1000 will be going to you. I'm sure that when it arrives you will be crowned chief of your Nigerian tribe almost immediately. Just Imagine when you come power ripping this 194 rwhp beast sideways to the water hole! OMG all the chicks in your village will drop their wash in the river. I'll bet they immediately whip out their National Geographic boobs in praise. Now you can mount up a spear on the front of this wicked fast GSXRand run down any antelope in the park! No more running around like an idiot trying to catch those fast mother fuckers. The Bazzaz traction control will enable you to navigate your way through the sandy roadways on the way to the village dance parties. A couple things about the bike you should know. First off you can run any type of fuel in this thing! Deisel, cooked down camel fat, coconut oil....hell yea they will all work! As for maintenance well you don't need to do a thing! This is a GSXR1000! Its as strong as the village women necks carrying all that shit on their heads. You can eat the Ox tied up behind your hut because with just a few modifications this GSXR is strong enough to plow your barren soils. The bike does include a Pit Bull stand so make sure you find some firm ground on the dirt floor of your hut so this beauty doesn't crush your head while you are sleeping on your straw mat. Anyway I'm wicked happy to have a new overseas friend. If you want to add $3,000 more to the purchase price I'll come to your home and optimize the suspension settings for your local dirt roads and muddy fields.
    Thanks Pete

    I dont think so.

    This is what I am guessing...
    Boccarp sends money request...scammer has access to Casey's account (most likely through a fishing scheme) and sends money to Boccarp. Boccarp ships bike. The real Casey goes WTF my account was hacked and tells Paypal. Paypal pulls money back from Boccarp gives it back to Casey and scammer has a bike.

  15. I bet there ain’t a swinging dick in Nigeria that can legitimately buy a bike these days. :crackup:

    I wonder how many times some Nigerian has been like “dude, I’m not fucking scamming you!!!” :crackup:

    I've got a couple Nigerian friends that just accept the fact that every time we hang out I'm going to give them tons of shit over it. Still hasn't gotten old to me.

    Does anyone else read the Nigerian's emails in a foreign accent?

    Sweatypants I am so smart! S-M-R-T... I mean S-M-A-R-T!

    funny part of all that is there's actually a bunch of money and successful people there that could actually buy a ton of shit. hire a buying service to go get you stuff in person and ship it back?

    haha even that though... "buddy... i know i know, you're going to send a shipper to arrange pickup. i've heard that one before too you ass!"

    "i swear, i'm not trying to -" *click* "damnit."
