Craigslist Hall of Shame

[Doctor Micro]

Well, I guess the good news is that at $8.00/hr, they're not supporting a cocaine habit, seeing as how the current street price of a gram of cocaine in the U.S. runs between $50 and $125 depending on location.

And, of course, if they're any good, you could hire them at $8.00 an hour, and let them do your grunt work.

Ok, I just reported him to Adobe Anti Piracy

Good going! Be interesting to follow up on the guy and see what happens to him.

 

[Doctor Micro]

He posted his myspace on his ad.

You must've been quick on the trigger. Here's what his craigslist page returns now (just a couple minutes ago):

This posting has been deleted by its author.
(The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)

 

[Doctor Micro]

sigh... It was reposted already.

Can u guys do me a favor and flag it for prohibited?

Sure.

I'm sure Microsoft's legal beagles would be interested in this bit:

*Reformat the hard drive with Windows Vista Ultimate, MS Office 2007 Ultimate, Nero 9 Burning ROM, Cyberlink Power Director, 1 year AVG Anti-Virus, your choice of games...."WITH COMPLETE RECOVERY DISK"...All software is real, updateable, and passes validation checks...$75

(emphasis mine)

You guys will be happy to note I just CC'd a message including his post to

piracy@microsoft.com
tip@macromedia.com
piracy-online@ea.com
piracy@adobe.com
software@bsa.org
netpiracy@siia.net

and also the FBI

Guess he'll have to fall back on his main gig in the yard at Menards then.

The BSA doesn't really care much for this type of piracy, they focus on businesses. Microsoft probably will contact him though, they had some of my ebay listings removed until I showed them proof of legitimacy.

 

[rusty.nells]

I don't really care, I just googled piracy reporting and found that email.

You did the right thing. And thanks for the email addresses, they will come in handy.

haha - Thanks! I needed a laugh =D

*sighs* at craigslist bottom feeders - I am only tempted to post there for SEO purposes, but I don't know if I can even be bothered to do that. The very thought of it makes me want to step in front of a bus.

I can't believe people will actually pay these clowns to do work -shakes head in disbelief-

Who must give permission to record a telephone or in-person conversation?

Here in the states it's illegal to record someone without them knowing.

Who must give permission to record a telephone or in-person conversation?

Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a "one-party consent" law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation. Furthermore, if you are not a party to the conversation, a "one-party consent" law will allow you to record the conversation or phone call so long as your source consents and has full knowledge that the communication will be recorded.

I've been ignoring craigslist for a couple of weeks now....but curiosity got the better of me last night.

I found a guy that will teach you to play poker, or fix your computer. He posts several ads, all at once, and they're all just one line of stupid.

What do you want to do? Check you're email or bluff at poker?

Gamblers, you can afford it! &100 a night! Just want one customer

Don't want to go to jail, no matter what! I'll help you. Do it on the net.

Saturday and Sunday 10am to 8pm. I have a little computer shop here, been doing this for 15 years and am pretty darn good at it.

Those are all different ads. The only thing I removed was his name and phone number.

 

[Mr I]

The only thing I removed was his name and phone number.

How am I going to contact him? I'll never learn how to play poker while my computer is being fix

 

[MrUnknown]

lol. must be the year he was born.

Sometimes I wonder what goes through these people's heads. Sad thing is there is someone out there that would give this guy a shot.

Computer Tech looking for side work... if you can find / book jobs, I will give you 40%. email for more info



This guy is so desperate he will give you 40% of the take if you find him work.

 

[NYJimbo]

Maybe I should hire this guy for $20.00 per hour, send him out to residentials, tell him to give me the 40% of $20, which leaves him with $12.00 per hour.

You know, I didn't really think about it that way. What the hell am I doing busting my ass, I should hire this guy for a net of $12 an hour to do all my work and then I bill the clients direct at $60 an hour. Thanks ACG !
