Fill out the nec paperwork and it will sit on somebodies inbox until I get an email, then It needs to go upsatirs and be approved - then we vote.............................tee hee.
LOL..you know what this reminded me of...my job!!! I work for Anthem and it seems like there is always a meeting to talk about the meeting we had last week, about what went over in a meeting 2 months ago!!!


I hate scammers!! Listen to this my friend got a call at work from one of our Ford members, she was 75 if I remember right, but she wanted to know why we sent someone from our company to tell her that her medical benefits had been taken away and wanted to sell her another policy . We told her to call the police asap, we would NEVER send someone like that to anyones door. I don't know what happened with it, I know one of our supervisiors was looking into it, I hope that lady is ok!! What is wrong with people these days?

I have never laughed so hard. I wish I could remember the site, a former co-worker had sent me the link. Another one had the guy going back and forth to the nearest western union, which was like 60 miles away, at least 15 times, I don't remember how they got the scammer to do it, but he got really mad that he was scammed into going there so many times, and wasting money travelling etc.
A scammer being scamed. That is awesome. I would have loved to see that site. Sadly to say, when I was younger I was ALMOST taken in by a scam. I was trying to make a bit of money by selling items that were dropshipped from legitimate companies. I found a website that looked very professional and I was ready to do business with them. They sent me formal looking business documents from the "USA" and everything. Once I was asked to send money through Western Union for their products, I was done with them. I am so glad I was able to recognize the signs of a scammer but sadly a lot of people do get taken. Some scammers can be very convincing.

What?! Vaccinated from Myopia? Yeesh, it's gotta be the same joker if he/she is dumb enough to think that nearsightedness is a transmittable disease in parrots that can be prevented by vaccination!
