good evening. BIG WAVES on the north shore. i was watching it for a while this morning and it didn’t look that good. well, it was good but nothing compared to what it’s been lately. so i decided to stay home and catch up on the millions of things i have to do before i start my traveling this year. got a lot done but still a lot more. and as soon as everything is done, i’m out of here…. well, after a few more barrels… anyway, it felt good today breathing in the trade winds. trade winds that we haven’t seen in a while. more swells on the way and i’m looking forward to it…
check out the weeks forecast. finally can get things done without missing epic weather and waves…
****HIGH INTERNET SURF WARNING. PAYPAL SCAM….. OH MY GOSH!!! I ALMOST GO RIPPED OFF!!! get this story. i put my old computer on the internet to sell. craigslist to be exact. within an hour, i got an email from this women by the name of mary pamala. we’ve been emailing each other back and forth about information on the computer i’m selling. she’s been really nice and seemed that she really wanted it. here is one of the email i got from her….
hello kirby, sorry for the late response am busy at the office I just made the payment via paypal now and i know that you would have been contacted with the notification as i got a mail from paypal, stating that the money has been deducted from my account so i want the item to be shipped out as soon as possible via the USPS GLOBAL EXPRESS MAIL DELIVERY (EMS) so it can get to my son address asap,and get the shipment proof to the paypal customercare for your account creditation.
Regard
Mary pamala
***then i got a confirmation email from paypal saying the money was approved and will be deposited in my account as soon as i send the buyer the shipping tracking number. ummm, i was a little suspicious. why?
first of all, this logo in the email from paypal caught my eye. looked like somebody copied and pasted it. it just didn’t look high quality. and paypal being a billion dollar company, i’m sure they have enough money and expertise to have a much clearer logo on their emails. second, this sale just sounded too easy. i was selling my computer for $900 and she offered me $1,000. too tell you the truth, i almost took the bait. i was ready to pack up my computer and send it out today. but something was telling me not to. so being the investigator i am, i called directly to paypal. it took me a while to get through but when i did, the customer service guy told me it’s a scam. he also said that hundreds of sellers are taking the bait and there’s nothing paypal can do about it. it’s just part of internet thief…. shit!!! i almost sent my dam computer out for free. so everybody please be aware. when in doubt, pull out…. that’s what i did… and i have a message to mary pamela. your a bitch!!! haha, mary pamela probably doesn’t even exist…. oh well, i was almost her bitch and hope nobody i know ever falls for the scam….
** i got this email from mary pamela just now. shit girl, leave me alone already…..

sounds pretty convincing yeah? if i sent out my computer to pamela, i wouldn’t be able to sleep for weeks. or maybe months…. i’m glad i’m the kind of person who ask a lot of questions. now i’m going to sleep. good night.
