So there was a fee arcade cabinet listed on the Albany NY CL yesterday and I sent an e-mail 4 minutes after it listed, and here is the conversation I got back:

1st Reply:
I'm sorry for not replying before, I already promised this to the first person who emailed me but she didnt get back to me. Are you still interested?

I need to go to an event for work tomorrow but then I will be around for a few days. Let me know what works for you.

I say yes and let me know where to go and I will come get it. They reply:

Hey,

I am very, VERY sorry, the first person just replied, and it turns out her first email landed in my spam folder and I never saw it. I feel like a jerk...

You know, I wasnt actually gonna mention this, but three weeks ago I received a check in the mail for $1300 from the state government. It seems if your income isnt more than $85k per year you can qualify for it too as part of a grant program. Im not sure about you, but kindergarden teachers don't earn that much and that extra money was really useful this month.

I signed up for grant #TC6807, the one that had "Income Assistance" as its title. The process is really easy, just go to this site:

[LINK REMOVED OBVIOUS SCAM]

The process takes around 3 or 4 minutes and you can do it all online. One thing though: please don't tell too many people. Ive heard they haven't got too much money and I want to be sure some friends can sign up for the money too. Thanks a lot, and im sorry again for the whole mess up.

I was hoping to score a cabinet to put either my Black Tiger or Rastan in. Oh well....
 
effen joke. That is an effen joke.


Hey by the way, i dont have this game you wanted, but ive been meaning to tell you for the longest time (cuz thats just the type of person i am).....


Effen bozo. Whoever falls for that, man thats a sorry sight.
 
Glenda the kindergarten teacher. LOL! At least that is a little more believable than the usual Nigerian person claiming to be royalty yet needs me to send $$$ scam.

What I find incredible is that they think they will hook a bunch of people with a free arcade cabinet. Why not a free HD TV?
 
I can't believe people are willing to spend the time to jerk off in peoples faces.. i really, can't believe it. :eek5:
 
And why would a Kindergarten teacher of all people do this sort of thing! This is horrible! These people are supposed to be teaching our kids. What is the world coming to?
 
I'm joking by the way. I know that the person wasn't really a Kindergarten teacher. But why the State governement would give away money like that is beyond me.
 
What you didnt get your free whitening kit?

Whitening kit? Oh, so you get that one in Minnesota too, huh?

I've gotten the same garbage as the original poster. Word for word. That latest time being several days ago.

You can be inquiring about a free game cabinet, TV, Blender, it doesn't matter. Some idiot just uses what people tend to look for in the "For Sale" section.
