Araucaria Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 It seems he can't spell his own Christian name, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 So Quillan why not take the cheque and see if it produces cleared funds ?W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Q should be very careful on this one as the scammers might be gay and he would then be sued for discrimination against gay scammers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he's meant to be American, would give me considerable pause for thought (for thought read - distrust!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your only joking Wooly but I love the sound of the bell on my cash register, it's music to my ears, the more music it makes the happier I am and my cash register is definitely not homophobic nor is it racist nor does it only prefer one type of religion. Come one come all is it's favorite tune and I love it. [;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Good for you, Q.On the other hand, as a consumer - I guess I'd better make sure that I use the spellchecker when booking accommodation in future if poor spelling is going to single me out as a scammer.[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
