It’s story time everyone. Once again, no lj-cut.
So. There’s this guy, Ed, who used to work with our company. He quit. Got another job. All well and good, but then he got fired from that job for the same reason why he got demoted at ours. No pity for him. Whatever.
He puts his resume up on Craig’s List, and someone offered him a job. It was an accounting job that paid 85 bucks an hour AND he could only work a maximum of 5 hours a day. He got to work from home, all he needed was a laptop and Quicken Books. Sounds nice and cushy, especially since he has no accounting experience.
Anyway, he needs to go buy his equipment, so they send him two money orders, 1500 each for a total of 3000 dollars. All he needed to do was cash it in and send it to Nigeria. So, he deposits it in the bank, waits for it to clear. It clears and he waits a few days, then Western Union transfers the money over to the guy in Nigeria.
The guy calls him up and is like, yeah we got it, but it wasn’t enough! I’m sending you two more 1500 money orders to send. Your equipment will be shipped out this week! You’ll be getting it in the mail soon!
Oh. You guys have no idea how much I wish that story was a lie... If it is, my co-worker who is friends with Ed, is the best damn liar/story-teller ever. But all the people who knew him on the job shook their heads and were like, "Damn. that shit sounds JUST. LIKE. HIM."
