FDH is a fucking idiot.

So...FDH sent $200 by PayPal to an account in FUCKING NIGERIA. Supposedly this person was going to put that $ into the NY stock exchange for us, he was posing as a trader.

I found out and canceled the PayPal account immediately, So there is no way it's still paying/connected to his actual bank info. And we only lost that $200.

I told him I will NEVER combine finances with him or put his name on any deed/lease that I was connected to.

I just can't believe he is that fucking stupid.

Wow that is pretty 'effin stupid. Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with someone that would get so easily bamboozled? Hope if you have kids together, they get your intelligence and common sense. I would really be questioning his IQ

:jawdrop: really? Good grief. Ohh that's just incredible. You always read about the idiots (sorry) who do this but it's never someone you know! Amazing.

Oh no feel free to call him an idiot. I sure as fuck did.

At least the step kids are pretty damn smart, the ten year old is already reading at a 9th grade level and the 14 year old reads at a college level. So, knowing neither myself nor my mother are slouches in that department either give me some hope.

On the other hand, I am now monitoring all of FDH's email accounts and now the bank account. He is not allowed to have anything on PayPal either.

Its sad he has to be restricted like a child. Maybe he'll learn by watching you handle things.

I got a call on my mobile the other day informing me that my phone number had been awarded $250K by my mobile carrier. Then the caller started asking me about my location, what my address was, etc...

In an excited tone of voice I told the subcontinent caller to go ahead and send my check. He kept pushing for my information. I told him that since he was with my mobile carrier that he obviously knew my information and to send my check immediately then I hung up. No call back from my mobile carrier and no check. I was getting excited about that quarter mil. Damn! Of course I called my carrier to report the scam call and give them the number.

I was with a business partner when the call came in. He was laughing when I hung up. He was concerned for a minute that I was going to give the caller my info. Apparently it is a scam to get work visa information so that the visa number can be sold to illegal workers in the country I live and work in.

By now I am worth $hundreds of millions with all of the dead relatives I have with resources in accounts in darkest Africa and my lucky mobile phone number that keeps being selected for huge cash awards. It is good to be me and to be so lucky!

Ha!

Biggrin

I found Ben Bernanke himself in my spam folder trying to give me that 2 million dollars I misplaced via Nigeria.

Thank God I'm not that gullible.

Just gullible enough to be here.

He is functionally illiterate. Not the same as being purely illiterate.

To break it down further, he is "functionally prose illiterate", he can read, write and understand simple texts, and even gather simple information from them, like blue prints and blood pressure charts for example. But say reading a chapter in a book, it practically impossible for him.
