    Eleven meelyon dollars!

    Eleven AND A FUCKING HALF!!!

    That's more than what a flemish giant costs in weekly upkeep!

    What's the difference between the Flemish Giant and the German Grey Giants? Are they a different breed?

    Very slightly different, but yeah, in Europe I believe they're recognized as different breeds.

          North Korea reached out to this German Grey Breeder and asked for his help. He sold them 6 breeding pair (I misremembered earlier) and then was supposed to travel to Pyongyang a few months later to help them build their breeding farm. The idea here was great… These rabbits grow AND reproduce at exponential rates…

          Well, a month before his travel to Pyongyang, he found out that Kim had butchered and served all of the rabbits at his birthday celebration…

                      I got a letter in the mail from some company telling me that my local hospital's database had been breached, and to call them to check on it and protect myself. It seemed legit, so I called. They told me I could get "4 years of protection for free".... all I had to do was give her my full legal name, full address, social security number, and a credit card number.

                      I hung up.

                          @George-K I used to look at a site called 419eater.com

                          419 is the Nigerian law code against internet fraud.

                          Anyway, there are some great anti-scam things pulled by people on there.

                          Here is an example of a funny one where he gets the scammer to send him wood carvings, etc. LOL

                                    The "Glitter Booby-Trap" guy did a video exposing some of the call-center frauds in India. It's astonishing how effective these a-holes are. It only takes one email to become profitable, and you can send out millions - basically for free. A total loss of $60 million dollars lost to scammers.

                                      @Mik said in Today's Scam:

                                      They must have a certain percentage of successes otherwise they would not still do it. Hard to imagine, but they must.

                                      The "Glitter Booby-Trap" guy did a video exposing some of the call-center frauds in India. It's astonishing how effective these a-holes are.
