  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 12 weeks ago

    I almost got scammed by Tracy Anderson. BEWARE. There are lots of other alias's this person uses including Janet Carson. They very nearly got me to send them my G4. THANK GOD my bullshit meter went off when a really fake check came in the mail for a ridiculous amount over the selling price. That was enough for me to cancel the whole thing. Then they threatened me for canceling. BEWARE TRACY ANDERSON!!!

    submit all complaints to IC3. THe FBI's internet scam reporting site.

    It's Happening on MYSPACE too! "Sharon" 29yrs Norfolk, VA / patterson5401@yahoo.com, "Nigerian Scam" "I will gladly pay you $300 tomorrow for a $200 guitar today!!

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 14 weeks ago

    Wow! These posts are from last year but they've moved onto Myspace now. "Sharon" 29yrs old Norfolk, VA. Everything happened the same way except the USPS is now selling diet pills at the bottom of their page. This just saved me a $200 guitar that they offered $300 for! Peace and BEWARE!

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 15 weeks ago

    They got me.

    I posted an ad for an Apple IMac G5 Computer. Within an hour I got a response from these people. They actually offered me more money than I wanted. At some point before shipping I did do a search on Google but didn't find anything. I guess I was not searching for the right key words. Therefore I'm including more keywords in my post here. Does anyone know if I can recover any of this cost?

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 15 weeks ago

    Thanks dude. I got an offer for an item I listed in Craig's List and peterchexx@gmail.com offered me $50 more but I have to use AlertPay. I know it's a scam now. Thanks again!

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 15 weeks ago

    Wow, my first time reading your blog. Hysterical stuff!

    I came across this because my wife posted a Wedding Ring set on Craigslist for $1500 for her friend who just got divorced.

    Not even a day later and a scammer told her they were interested and would be willing to include an extra $100 for the delivery!

    She just thought it was too good to be true and wanted me to look at it. I told her it was a scam right away, and did a search on Alertpay Scam and Craigslist.

    Low and behold I find your blog.

    Great stuff!

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 15 weeks ago

    Here is another scam!!! Who do they think they are??? Do they think really think I'm an idiot??? (ohhhh, I wish they'll burn in hell !!!)

    From:Dr Matthew Howse
    How are you doing today? I want you to know that the deal is
    on and according to my Secretary she has posted your payment and
    you will have it anytime from now,i guess you know how to handle
    everything and please don't bother about any other buyer. But there
    was a little problem which i guess we can handled with
    understanding, when i contacted my secretary to know
    the status of the check,i got to know that there was a
    misinterpretation while writing the
    check according to the instruction i gave her,she ought to have
    sent you a check of $200 for the item, but instead she sent a check
    payment of $3200. It was a terrible mistake and the check is
    already out for delivery to your location before i was
    alerted........ but i guess she didn't get it straight......,so
    please i wouldn't like this to affect our transaction in anyway as
    the deal is still on............
    Once you have the check just have it deposited in your bank and
    withdraw the excess money to send to the mover.....so that the pick
    up can be made asap then deduct a 50 dollars for all the trouble i
    have put you through during the course of this transaction......so
    that you can then wire the excess fund to my mover via western
    union money transfer that same day. It was her intention to collect
    the money and send it to the mover for outstanding payment that he
    is currently being owed from the other items he has moved for
    us.........since its now coming to you now,i guess i can count on
    you that you can handle this with trust and have the excess money
    wired to mover......... Please do mail me back immediately to let
    me know that i can
    count on you to handle everything with care. I will be expecting
    your mai l as soon as possible thank you.

    Best Regards and Have a Great Day ahead!!!

  • A Drupal youtube Site Recipe   3 years 20 weeks ago

    I was just curious if you have any plans of releasing your alternative to the Drupal Video Module as a self-contained module for others to use in conjunction with this recipe.

    Cheers!

  • Media Mover prelim announcement   3 years 22 weeks ago

    Travis Tidwells has problems with cck node feilds at the moment but It would be great to use with this.

  • More Craig's List Scamming   3 years 24 weeks ago

    I got one of these also just the other day. The alias was "James Mike" I searched everywhere to verify and was glad to find this site. It turns out my guy and yours have the same credit card number, deposit and everything (except name). I sent him my address to send the money order to but I can now guarantee that no item will be sent. If a money order arrives I will be sure to report it as a fake. I'm glad I found this, now I know I am not alone and that it truly is fraud. Thanks guys.

    Great work. I really love the way you have taken your flunk arnold work and moved it ahead. This is a staggering contribution!

  • Media Mover prelim announcement   3 years 30 weeks ago

    Have you seen Travis Tidwell's impressive new FlashVideo module? Although I haven't managed to get it to work yet (a problem getting it to work with ffmpeg),it looks great.

  • A Drupal youtube Site Recipe   3 years 32 weeks ago

    Are there any live sites using this recipe? I noticed flunkarnold.com is gone...

    Any word on when the local storage module will be done?

    I have a version that I wrote, but I want to see if yours will be done soon -- I am not happy with my own.

  • swfObject module for drupal   3 years 34 weeks ago

    i have amended to handle flashvars:

    http://www.angurio.com/code/swfobject_amended.tgz

    syntax is:

    print swfobject_create($url, $params, $vars);

    adds:

    so.addVariable(”audio1″, “music1.mp3″);

    very useful for flv playback - i.e.

    $vars = array('$path' => 'http://www.url.com/flv.flv');

  • swfObject module for drupal   3 years 34 weeks ago

    Hi arthur,

    What about adding Flashvars, like:

    so.addVariable(”audio1″, “music1.mp3″);
    so.addVariable(”audio2″, “music2.mp3″);
    so.addVariable(”audio3″, “music3.mp3″);

    can you amend the code to include this in the procedure call, ie.:

    print swfobject_create($url, $params, $vars);

  • Craig's List Scam   3 years 34 weeks ago

    You must be fucking crazy for posting all these non-sense.Dont you know that this ia pay back time.If you do not forget or go back to the history books and do some research on this.Your great grandfathers beat,shoot and have there mouths pad locked cos of sugar canes.
    You Americans "MAGERS" taught us how to scam,there is no way you can stop this scam unless you tell BILL GATE and others to stop the production of computers or tell George W. BUSH to apologise openly to we blacks at a world conference and promise to pay AFRICA 1/3 of your anual budget.Instead of spending reckelessly in WAR fronts,mind you the great man ''OSAMA BIN LADEN is still coming back.Please visit a library and ready about the rise and fall of American.Although you are the most loved nation by God by you have misused and sinned to God.

    On a more serious note,you AMERICANS should stop spending money because of Sadam Hussein and WARS.There are people dieying of hunger,those BILLIONS OF $ spent on war can help reduce hunger and AFRICANS will stop finding all means to live.

    I guess someone read this and see sense in it.

    GREAT SEAMIC

  • swfObject module for drupal   3 years 34 weeks ago

    Yes, it's actually been renamed in drupal cvs- see the swfobject_api module

    thanks!

  • swfObject module for drupal   3 years 35 weeks ago

    hi - thanks for this, this addresses the limitations in the existing swfobject module for drupal, as it only seems to work with blocks.

    one issue - it would well be named something else - as someone installing both modules, would have obvious problems (not that both should be needed).

    cheers! just about to install. ill see if i can use both, with a rename.

  • Permissions on CCK node fields   3 years 37 weeks ago

    Hi. By coincidence, I worked on this same cck perms functionality yesterday. Fortunately, I worked on the improvements to Views so it could respect cck fields perms. See . I didn't work on the part that you did.

    I'd love to improve your 4.7 code if you will give me access, or will accept patches. But really, i want to write a 5.0 version which restricts field for viewing cck nodes. Should be easy because of the structured array node rendering in 5.0. Let me know how you want to work together on this.

    Hey Arthur,

    Thanks a lot for making this available. I have an upcoming project that might see it put to good use as well.
