ok, so. i was on Craigslist, and stumbled upon a scammer. any ideas how to…?

ok heres the deal. i was a naive high school grad, and was looking for a job. saw craigslist, and had no idea that people could put fake ads and crap. i had two job offers… and chose the higher paying 1, when i found out it was fake i tried applying to my other offer, and they said the positions been filled.
yea im upset. The job i lost was Kitchen help at an all girls private high school. Im 19 years old!!, im a guy!! can u imagine how much i wanted it >< the uniiiforrms….

anyways. now this scammer guy emailed me, and im tired of them. so i want to screw with them like they did me. heres the conversation so far:

HE SAID-
>>>You looking for a part time Job? Are you available to run errands? I
>>>am looking for someone who can handle my personal Assistant and run
>>>business errands at his/her spare time.Someone who can offer me these
>>>services:Mail services: Receive my mails and drop them off at UPS
>>>(nothing illegal).or pick items up at nearby post office at your
>>>convenience.
>>>
>>>Let me know if you will be able to offer me any of these services….
>>>
>>>Thank you!
>>>
>>>
>>>PS: I found you on craigslist

THEN I SAID:

THEN I SAID!!!!(lying of course hahaa):

> Dexter Inopiquez

FINALLY HE WROTE:
I am sorry i only work by pay checks the cost of sending pay checks
from my bank is lesser than the cost of sending paypal.

if you actually read everything, thanks. now down to business,
im thinking of saying, "oh well, in that case u could just mail it to
### ____ Rd
Seaside CA, 93955. <<— my adress.
or if you know any other way, or think its a good idea, let me know
THANKS A BUNCH YAHOOERS!!!

You know what, i care to read all of those. The guy obviously is a scammer and naturally, u should stay away from him. However, since he’s made u lost a job or whatever u can pay him back with baiting.

Obviously he will NOT give u any money because what he wants is YOUR money, so delaying him by making him believe that u’ve fallen into his trap is quite a good idea. But at all cost, REMEMBER, DO NOT give him your REAL info! Do NOT give him your real name, don’t give him your real address, absolutely no no! Just give him a fake address or police station’s address (lol) and give him a fake name. Show him that u are so damn interested in his offer but delay him so that he gets fed up with u. Finally end everything with "april is still a long way, but i’m celebrating it early this year, so, april’s fool! dont get mad its just for a laugh".

BUT you have to remember not to fall into the trap along the way, bcos these people are very smart in seducing u to go along with their plan. Just for a note, i know someone that has fallen into this trap. The victim responded to an email that sounds just like yours. All he had to do was to receive like $60,000 on his bank account, and then send the $30,000 to someone else using western union. He thought it was a very good deal, and he did it. The next day the police arrested him bcos the $60,000 deposited into his account was the money hacked from certain other bank, something like that. So he couldnt keep the money and ended up in trouble. The scammer(s) got away with it. Big deal.

Where can I find 1/4 sawn Sitka Spruce planks?

I’ve looked all over the internet for instrument-grade Sitka Spruce and can find only instrument shops selling it from Europe at way-too-high prices.

I’m making a harpsichord, and would love to find someplace that offers Sitka at prices comparable to these: http://www.hardwoodint.com/2×6sitsprucs.html
Unfortunately, the above site is sold out of all spruce except 1×10.

I live in Southern California, so a major plus if you know a place near this location, but anywhere is fine.

Their 2×6 planks are ideal for soundboard making, and at $7.70 / LF the price is also ideal.

Does anyone know where I could find some Sitka lumber near this price?
Because of the particular dimensions of a 2×6 plank, its price per board foot is the same as per linear foot. Just pointin’ that out…

$7.70 / LF, $7.70 / BF.

Of course, this is somewhat of an advanced question and therefore I do not expect anyone to suggest a pageful of lumber suppliers, though any response at all is highly appreciated, and thank you in advance, and thanks for reading as well.
Additional question — would 1×10 lumber be suitable for resawing into 1/8" boards for a soundboard, or is 10 inches of width too much for this kind of operation?

Unsure, I only seem to be using kiln dried wood in my trade.
Make sure you get stuff that’s dried naturally. There is a tremendous sound difference between kiln dried and naturally dried woods. Kiln dried messes up the molecular structure of the wood – not good for instruments.
Try contacting this place http://www.palomar.edu/WOODWORKING/ and ask ‘em where to get wood fit for instruments. They are in So. Cal.
Good luck.

How do I go about finding quality wholesale suppliers?

I have been working on building a custom script script for an online store. Once it’s done and been through all the tests, I want to use it to open a couple different online stores. I have ideas to help me promote the sites and help people remember the names of the stores. But none of that is going to be relevant if I can’t provide quality products and good prices. Can somebody tell me how I can go about find quality suppliers of wholesale products. In particular, I am looking for musical instruments and related products for the one store and eco-friendly products for the other.

Try:

http://www.esources.co.uk/

You will find all the verified wholesale suppliers you need there.

Need ur urgent help for meta keywords and meta decsription of my site?

Need ur urgent help for meta keywords and meta decsription of my site. the website is of Surgical, dental, beauty and veterinary instruments supplier. so please help me to suggest
1. meta keywords
2. meta decsription

for static pages. of this website www.dadbiomedical.co.uk
any help will be appretiated.
thanks

The easiest method in promoting and elevating your website is the proper design of the <title> metatag which currently appears as follows: "surgical instruments UK."

A more effective and encompassing <title> would be "Surgical, dental, beauty, veterinary instruments, supplier | United Kingdom."

Your current use of a country abbreviation "UK" is inaccurate and is not indexable by search queries. Make sure to always spell out the country name in full.

A simple revision of the <title> alone should alone elevate your website to a top 15 PR (Page Rank) at Google in about 3-4 months. whenever anyone submits a search query "surgical instruments, United Kingdom, dental instruments, United Kingdom, etc."

Good luck!
