IS IT REALLY A SCAM?

[CharlieMaxwell]

There is an interesting article on the home page about scammers. Check it out and comment if you would like. www.theprescription.com or go directly to the column at http://www.therx.com/nm/templates/article.asp?articleid=1295&zoneid=2

Charlie, I know you didn't write it and I don't wish to insult Roberto, but what in blue blazes was the POINT of that article? It was a collection of non-sequiturs, with no ultimate, even slightly redeeming point.

I'm still shaking my head over this one.

It was just posted to provide a person's opinion and to get a reaction from readership.

Yuck.

It's a toss-up between this article and the one about jjgold's banning - Which one will bring home the coveted Pullitzer? Only time will tell.

I don't get the article.

First an article by Krackman on Internet Hustlers. Now a report on scammers by Roberto Castiglioni. What's next, a story on point shaving by Stevin "Headache" Smith? LOL

Here is, I think, a good example of a scam. Any comments welcome. LJ

Is it really a badly written article? Does it contain too many questions? Does it ramble on without making a point? It is the reader's fault for being bored or confused? Is there really any question about the scam-ness of a player that charges back when he loses? Why would this be a question? Is it a scam for Charlie to represent this as an interesting article?

If a crappy article is printed on paper from a tree that fell in the woods, does it make a sound when you crumple and toss it into a trash can?

Have I already wasted more time than the article was worth? YES

Tough crowd, today - but an honest one - that article was completely useless from both an information and entertainment point of view.

I also like the way Java was vague and confused in his reply

FWIW TOB's local number 258-3100 is a central San Jose exchange. This tells me they are not located in the sportbook laden Sabana Sur, or San Pedro areas. The possibility exists that the local phone is an anserwering service. I do not know of any SB's in downtown San Jose. This whole thing really sucks, best of luck running these crooks to ground.


wil.

Thanks for your observations, I invested a lot of energy in trying to recup my money without success. The ball is now in their park, and I never expect it to come back. LJ
