    Right well i have a skype contact,don't know who he is,But i know he's american.Today he send's me some weird message and then goes sorry that wasn't for you,I go to him "hows america coping in the recession" he replies saying he couldn't care less as he's leaving,I kept talking and it's turns out he's Jewish and moving due to his religion
    [19:49:12] in the weakness of my name: its not about religion as it is about a people finally getting thier land back and you wanting to go and be apart of the only country where Jewish people are truly home

    Would anybody do something like this?


    I think it's pointless and stupid moving from a better place to a worse place just for religion

    I would do anything for love religion, but I won't do that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,060 ✭✭✭Anto McC


    There's no money to be made in Israel so there's no way he's leaving.

    Not very nice really, try to help some people...

    I don't respond to strangers on Skype. I've even stopped using it. My name "Hagar" on skype attract a lot of middle-eastern people who want to talk to me. Hagar is also an Old Testament name Link . You never know who these weirdos are or who they are connected to. So I'll just say it again "don't talk to strangers". If you do, don't come crying on here if someone circumcises you or Jihads your arse.

    Dont Jews returning to the "holy" land get a house and a sh*t load of Cash?

    hell yea I would.. even though it means living in the biggest hellhole on earth.

    This is generally how most identity thefts/scams start out.

    Be very careful on what you let slip in your conversations.

    The call isn't costing him anything.

    I think we all agree in general what should be done with spammers.

    Do you need to know anything more ?


    Is it time to put a phone sex ad in gumtree.ie ?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,211 ✭✭✭here.from.day.1


    This tread is ridiculous, why would you accept someone you dont know on skype?

    Although its bringing up regrets about that time I didnt accept the Vice Senior Right Hand Royal President of Nigeria that offered me money. Dammit!

    Here is the story as it unfloded for the sister-in-law of a frind of mine. She is contact and told that 'she has been over-charged on a credit card and they want to send her a cashiers cheque for $800 since the credit card is no longer valid'.

    She knows damn well that she has never had n overcharge more or less this credit card.

    She calls the phone number to confirm the story and starts talking to the guy at the other end of the phone, who is absolutley charming. They have a long conversation and he asks her to call back when she deposits the cheque to confirm it arriving.

    She calls back a week later and they continue the conversation (which she thinks is going very well) and he mentions 'uh oh...we screwed up and we actually owe you $1200'. He is going to be in trouble if he sends another cheque since all overpayments must be tracked by the exact amount. Could you send it back to me ? Which of course she can't, so he asked her to send him a cheque for the $800 (once it clears) and he will send off another cheque for $1200 immediately.

    She is already up $800 and about to be up $1200 this is the person that sent it to her. He is very polite and nice .....so why not ??

    He then drops the 'hey ...why don't you send me a picture of yourself and I'll do the same'.

    Here is why not.

    1) he has her full name
    2) address
    3) entire bank details
    4) picture of her

    Pretty much enough to do whatever you want with her identity.

    By the time that I had heard the story, she had already sent everything off. I mentioned what I thought was happening and my friend called his sister-in-law mentioned the entire story and then said one additional thing' you're screwed' and hung up.

    She was indeed screwed when it all went down.

    Jews have no homeland,they have a state founded by themselves with the hep of Britain about 70 years ago which they call their homeland,but in reality it belonged rightfully to the palestinians who were therre hundreds of years,tell him this and see what he says

    Here is the story as you have not told it....

    A very successful, wealthy lawyer, Edward Lewis, hires a beautiful and unlikely prostitute, to bring along to various business events. An attraction developes between the two, and Edward finds it harder and harder to let the infectious, kind-hearted Vivian go.

    I think the OP should have more sense and wake up. What utter nonsense. The guy is clearly a header. Why talk to total strangers on skype or the internet? A bit of cop on please!! :rolleyes:

    He might be a nice idealistic Jewish lad with a yearning for the auld homeland.

    The OP should have told him that "Hamas where the heart is".

    Israel isn't a worse place. I've been there many many times, and there is no better party city than Tel Aviv. The only downside is the overly hot weather in the summer.

    It's a hell of a lot better than Ireland, I can tell you that much.

    Let me guess - you've never been to Tel Aviv? :rolleyes: You should give it a try. Very different place from Jerusalem. Actually experiencing a place instead of relying on stereotypes for your opinions is very eye-opening.

    I remember how in the US I often got asked whether I was worried about being killed by a bomb in Ireland. Like you, they thought that the plain people of Ireland went about dodging bombs on a daily basis.:P
