Looks like it was a 'different' pet shop, but the CRD thread is always an easy guess.
We should make a list of all the pet shop threads and bribe Gary to make them 'go away'. Maybe a Top Ten?

To core the pet shops down to just 10. Man, it would just be easier to ban specific posters.

So, I get get an e-mail from my old private high school.
'We'd like you to complete a survey'
'Would you be intererested in low-cost health insurance?'
'Would you be interested in naming the school as a beneficiary?'
'Don't worry, no one will contact you unless you want them to.'
Wow. Creepy. Especially since one of my classmates died earlier this year, and I had my own brush.

Health insurance or life insurance? I, for one, think your school should spend less time in the Emergency Room.

Life, not health. Doh! I edited above about one of my classmates dying unexpectedly this year. I'm SO tempted to go off on them and their surveymonkey.

*sigh* Just found out that the person who was supposed to be buying my bike was more interested in running a scam than anything else..."Cash this check and return the extra cash"...YEAH RIGHT!
Sorry, but good for you. We still got a lot of people who get burned on that one...
(As well as the Nigeria one -- I'll never understand how people can fall for that one though.)

You work at a bank? I forget what you do. I think I saw something like that when I first started working at the bank myself...

I just want to smack people upside the head.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge. I learned a lot about banking history at that job, and banks and their role have changed so much over the years I'm not surprised at all that people try to keep these scams going.

Credit Union - but basically the same thing. I work in mortgages, so don't see it personally, but we get blast emails about what's going on and how to better catch it on our end to help save the member from making a costly mistake.

Not judging so much, but saddened and frustrated. :(

I always wondered whether or not I should join one of those...
Well this dude isn't seeing a dime out of me. Anything he sends to me will be returned post haste, and a copy of it will be sent to both my bank and the cops.
God, I hate scams.

FHDM just to let you know I bought an 09 Trek 4500 mountain bike. Just thought I would let you know before I got pictures up.
Ah, Trek. A doughty bike from a solid company, I ride one myself. Looking around online I see a lot of the usual complaints however- mind your tires and your rims, as you'll probably get a lot of bending if you take the wrong type of trail. You already said you were going to make some changes there, so I'm assuming you are already prepared on that angle. On the whole though, I'd say she's a winner- certainly better than mine.

I don't plan on any serious trails yet. the pavement around here is bad enough to warrant a mountain bike. I have a set of road rubber right now with the original off road rubber sitting on standby for when the snow hits. I forget are you on facebook or not? just wondering where to put photos later.

I have yet to succumb to the evils of Facebook, but I think I could check out those pics provided you haven't made them private or anything. Yeah, I'm familiar with what rough winters do to roads, spring is when I usually have to replace my tires if not suffer through a bent rim. I'm holding off on getting another pair of tires until I get this new bike...provided I actually sell the old one off.
Grr...Scams..Grr....
[EDIT] And with that, I'm off. So long everyone!

Depends. Typically Credit Unions will give better rates -- both on interest earned from savings and CDs as well as better rates like from car loans.
Like so many other things though, not all credit unions are created equal. There are good ones and ... well, not so good ones. Just kind of depends.
In general, financial institutions have become the easy targets of the government to blame for the current economic crisis. There will be some MAJOR changes to how financial institutions function in the next two years. And most of these changes will not benefit the general consumer like they are claiming they will. (Similar to the health bill.) But it will make life more difficult for the financial institutions.
Gotta love beauracracy.

Of the hot German teacher??
