Columbuzz is promoting pyramid schemes now?

Bob has routinely in the past and appears to be doing so again. A tradition that runs in his family so says many postings on the web.

Yep......it has "Bob" written all over it.

I've seen, from his many forum posts, that Bob is a complete sucker for the Internet Get Rich Quick Schemes and Internet Hoaxes and Scams that use fast cash as the hook.

I've also noticed that when he realizes he got duped, he encourages others to participate.

That's uaually when the scheme involves referrals from the mark, in order for the subject to increase their potential "earnings" exponentially.

The funny thing about it is that even when Bob gets sucked in and discovers what it really is, he repeats his behavior as quick as the next Big Deal knocks on his email door, or a colorful pop-up mesmerizes him into clicking his mouse.

Just like his unsuccessful bids for public office.
You can't BEAT a lesson into Bob's fat head.
The learning center of his brain must be all jacked around.

You can bet that the whole invitation to a cruise from Bob, had to do with one of those money sucking scams.

No, the cruise thing was to see if anyone wanted to go on a cruise. No scam, no money thing. A few of us are going on a 5 day cruise in November. Probably cost $900-1000 each total.

The Gifting thing was Ambers deal. People pay $5 is all it is. The money goes to other members and not a company.

Looks like a fun game is all.

I think it's legal to give someone $5 and to have others give you $5.

Spoken like a true patsy.

Bob?
Could you please tell us the story about you going to the bank to cash some checks for some foreign guy who emailed you?

If you tell the story, I promise to abstain from making any comments regarding you on this blog, for a period of one week.

Don't forget the part where you spoke to a police officer in the bank about what you were doing, and how you suspected it was a scam all the way to the bank...and at the Teller's window...and at your mailbox every day, while you anxiously awaited the delivery of your portion of His Highness's Royal Inheritance.
Or was it a lottery jackpot?

Bob has gone for several of these schemes and apparently so has his brother. They haven't learned the old saying "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Except for the lotto, raffles, investment, inheritance, finding it, government or charitable assistance, gifts or theft, I can't think of a way to get money than working. How is a person supposed to make money in a deal like this? Nothing is being produced to sell, no goods or services being provided. No money invested. Trading money around doesn't make more money or cause it to grow. Someone is going to be taken.

It was a check cashing scheme. I went to an officer of the bank, not a police officer, and told him I received them and figured they were fakes.

He agreed and sent them through the system and they were indeed fake.

I didn't go to a teller to deposit them.

End of story.

It was when the Nigeria thing first came up.

I was never contacted by anyone about them.

I was never ask for any money. I was told to run them through and when they cleared I could keep a small portion of the money.

The checks were actually real. They were on a bank in Texas on a closed account.

Just like you thought selling odometer tampering devices was legal.

You actually fell for the Nigerian scheme? I'm speechless.

You're never speechless.

"You're never speechless."

Can't argue with that one.

Bob is easy to manipulate.

His reactions here, and elsewhere, prove that.

An easy mark. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Dance, Puppet. Dance!
