I lack innovation today. Not really sure what to say! Tell him you don't do anything without consulting your psychic and that your psychic needs an article of his clothing (or a lock of his hair) in order to divine information about his character. Of course, you are sure character is beyond reproach; but nevertheless you feel it would be foolhardy to enter into a deal of this magnitude without at least a preliminary psychic reading. Then go rent a post office box so he can ship you something! |

I lack innovation today. Not really sure what to say! Make certain it is a lock of his hair, or fingernail clippings - then you have DNA evidence... BOINC WIKI |

Make sure you wear gloves when you extract items from your post office box. Oh no!!! What if he sends you unmentionables! |

What if he sends you unmentionables! Luke better hope not: he might get arrested for trying to import hazardous materials. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

What if he sends you unmentionables! LOL. I've had encounters with customs twice. One was for 5 juggling balls (NZ$150), they were filled with millet, which of course is organic, so I had 3 options, destroy them, send them back to the states or get them treated with radiation. Of course I chose the latter. :) The other time was for a 95mW green laser. Got it right next to me in the draw. Powerful enough to blind ya', and burn through tape. - Luke. |

Obviously Luke is not the only one who has been contacted by scammers. Investigational journalist Máuriese Lessmann reports on New Zealands 7N channel about so called romance scams. (When watching the clip I recognised small buffering breaks. Guess this has to do with the big public interest.) |

You do know that giving a spammer the run around like this can be dangerous if you ever end up in the same country. BOINC WIKI |
