  • Not mine, but my uncle’s story. In the late 70s or 80s, can’t remember, my uncle was a young man in Boston, MA. New transplant to the US with limited English working minimum wage at a famous hotel in town, by famous I mean all the rock and roll stars stayed in this hotel when they were in Boston. There are other wild stories for another day.

    On this day his manager was scrambling to look for him and told him that he had to drive a VIP somewhere. He was speechless, and asked wtf is going on ? He had a humble tiny hatchback manual drive ford fiesta? with only a driver’s side mirror. The artist was Blondie and she was late for the show. They wanted the most non descript car to zip halfway through the clogged city to the venue.

    He was like wtf, but fuckkit here we go.

    He drove the Blondie singer from the hotel to the venue quick and easy like superman and saved the day.

    I have to go back and ask what conversation they had.



  • There is always a small audience who responds to this type of message, most likely outside a first world country. The problem is that they spam broadcast to everyone, of which 99.99% laughs at it and ignores it. Those who do respond are vulnerable to the scam.

    Some rings promise good wages overseas, and when people buy in to the scam they end up enslaved in a warehouse overseas.

    This is a low cost spam message to find more victims to fill the overseas jails filled with workers committing high tech crimes.
