I think Pep might want an OC job...not sure he gets that...I would hold off on brining in a QBC until other spots start to fill to see if we can get him.

I got one of those IRS scam calls once years ago. Where they say they are going to arrest you unless you call back immediately. Then it said agents are on way to where I am. I hung up and laughed and got to work and parking lot was full of IRS agents. Turns out they were there for depositions on a case not involving me. But gave me pause for about 30 seconds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea how many people fall for those scams. Some to the tune of $100k+. It’s either elderly people that you feel horrible for, or people in their 20s and you chalk it up to the “stupid tax.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude paid a few grand for the truck with these gift cards and was told the truck was being insured by ebay... but wasn't listed on ebay... Was too late when he thought to talk to me or anyone else about it. Sucks. Stupid tax in full effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once had someone try and pay an invoice with bearer bonds (Die Hard rules!) it was such a pain in the ***. We took them to a bank and they called the issuer and verified it but in the end it was too much of a hassle so I said just put it on your card. Heard later this guy paid all his bills in my industry like that and they always cleared. This was like five figures so I didn't want to get a funny story at that price. Dude ended up absolutely disappearing a few years later, went from super active and social to no one knowing at single thing about what happened in a pretty chatty community. I love the random stuff people give me, either in trade or as a thank you. Once got a case of wine from someone and was like three bottles in before a guest pointed out that the case was a couple grand. Have unlimited access to an indoor water park in FL (have not gone.) One dude over and over assumes I want my invoicing settled with cocaine. Someone gave me a black powder musket (if Britannia comes I'm ready) Back when my dad had an exhibit/millwork company he used to get the most random things as tips. I had a giant (like 10' diameter) fiberglass sun in my backyard from the Adler growing up, and had huge hanging banners from the museums in my room. We once got 40 lobsters from the Chicago fish house and treated a bunch of neighbors. Same place gave us a box of frozen eels too, my mom made my dad give them all away. One of my neighbors growing up worked for Topps, and his garage had a candy section better than most stores. He gave all the kids uncut baseball card sheets (I CUT mine, my friend went to college with the value he got from selling it ten years later, ugh) We were once given a roll top desk from a private client, and when my dad got it home he realized that there was about $4k in twenties taped to the underside of a drawer, he gave it back. Dang. Now I want lobster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was good for her that I could over hear her call and hung up phone before she let them take over her computer and gave bank info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now know detectives use the term water park as a substitute for cocaine. Neat-o. I use to work for a Roadshow that purchased items, I was a specialist for coins and guitars. Saw a ton of cool collectables. Got to see a Johny Cash guitar that was played in a concert and signed by him (I wasn't allowed to try purchasing it for myself either). We couldn't buy it because he replaced the pegs and bridge after using it for a few decades. My favorite was seeing a lady being in some individual rolls of Charmin from like the 30s and hoping they were rare and valuable. She didn't even care that they weren't. She just wanted to BS for a while. Super cool lady. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
