    thats if you have a flux capacitor(Alpha module) , if not its 880 , thats if you dont have devices stopping you from going back in time on the vehicle .

    the only thing that would worry me about using the flux capacitor is that the Toyota doesnt have a stainless steel body. Which the doc says helps with the whole time travel ma-jiggy.

    No, I picked one up on a train with the added anti-grav feature. Parking near my house was a b1tch until i decided to park on the roof and use a rope ladder.




    and because of that brainwave now I have a new house.

    Personally, my car has an inertial damper - great for those sudden stops - maybe you could throw one of those in for him...

    Isn't it Ford Fusion and that wouldn't work with a Toyota.

    Is Oliver Martinez not the name of Kylie's fella? Obviously your scammer is a Kylie fan!

    This is the Email I sent in reply , the number just happens to be the Garda fraud squad, I do hope he states his buisness and leaves his details for me to collect ;-)

    Hey
    I have no problem not paying tax! I hate taxes, like my father and his forefathers I will do ANYTHING to not pay the E-JIT tax. How high is the E-JIT tax over there in Holland? I am really thinking about putting you in contact with my lawyer who is a very good man who is willing to help honest people like you and I to keep as much of their hard earned money as possible. he might be able to set up the deal for my new car better than I could as he knows all the tricks to use in the import/export buisness, what do you think about that?
    You can call me on 01 - 6663777 and just tell the receptionist what your buisness is ( I told her about the new car I was going to be getting) and ask for me by name. if Im out, just leave your number with her and Ill pick it up when I get back to the office. Could you send me some pictures of the high class cars you have in stock? I would like a silver one with leather seats if possible , If you have any of the BMWs with the new photon injector system for fuel efficiency or a mercedes with the skyhook system fitted I would be really intrested, because those accessories were never fitted to the Irish cars we have here, because they were too expensive new and all car accessories get the AMA-DAN tax here

    Regards
    Sony Daly

    no santry garda starts with 842, dancing priest just a thought if he is thick enough to ring the fraud squad wont they answer and say somthing like "hello fraud squad how can i help u", would have been better to give him the no for a payphone instead:)

    Given his poor English, I'm sure a thick country accent mumbling "fraud squad" down the phone, would go over his head.

    Erm that might be the number behind the public number but all of the stations do have 666 numbers http://www.garda.ie/angarda/statlinks/dma.html


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 362 ✭✭Dancing_Priest


    No , no reply as of yet strangley enough, He's usually very prompt about replying, I'll send him in another one tomorrow morning if theres no reply by then.
    Either way unless he knew the dialing code for ireland and knew to drop the 0 He'd never get through.

    Reminds me of the ring.

    Anyone remember, there was this woman on the radio and she was going on about a secret evil cult floating around every country, trying to take over the world. One of the things she was raving on about was that all of the garda stations have 666 numbers and that this was the work of this cult. She also said how she was followed all around the world by them, and that they had even tried to change the hyms in the church, so as to praise the devil. :eek: :p

    Here's a good scam the scammer story-- P-P-POWERBOOK!!

    Small article in todays Times passing on warnings from the banks about scams originating with replies to offers of items for sale. The scam involves the fraudsters paying for the goods with forged or counterfeit bankdrafts for an amount greater than that asked for, and the receiver refunding them the excess in real money.
