The specialist shall contact you as soon as he receives the funds. Regards Benjamin Brown Adama Hair Care Products Answer: 100% scam. There is no job and no car wrap company. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money. The next email was from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "secretary/assistant/accountant" and has demanded you cash a large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer posing as the "specialist" while you "keep" a small portion. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal. Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever. When you refuse to send him your cash he will send increasingly nasty and rude emails trying to convince you to go through with his scam. The scammer could also create another fake name and email address like "FBI@ gmail.com", "police_person @hotmail.com" or "investigator @yahoo.com" and send emails telling you the job is legit and you must cash the fake check and send your money to the scammer or you will face legal action. Just ignore, delete and block those email addresses. Although, reading a scammer's attempt at impersonating a law enforcement offical can be extremely funny. Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram. You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information. Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash. Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer. 6 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs: 1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one. 2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order. 3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity. 4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone. 5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram. 6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site. Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason. If you google "fake check cashing job", "fraud Western Union scam", "money mule moneygram scam" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam. |

Are Mazda miatas regularly bumpy when driven or does the ride get smoother after shock replacement? Question: First of all I drive a 1990 year Mazda Miata MX5. It has about 270,000 Miles with original shocks and suspension never replaced. I am very concerned about this so I would like serious answers please from experienced mechanics and/or knowledgeable people. I would also prefer an actual person who owns the same car as mine and who experiences or experienced something similar to what I experience currently. I currently own this car. I was just wondering if i should or should not replace the shocks on my mazda miata. My Tires are fine and they seem to wear out evenly and normally without any problems. But when I drive on the city street or especially on the freeway at high speed, I feel my car is somewhat bumpy and there seems to be alot of road noise while i drive. My car is most bumpy when I drive on roads that are old due to age where there are lots of bumps and cracks on the road. My car is bumpy mostly on the CA 57 north and CA 60 East towards riverside. I always tend to worry and feel that my engine will pop out at high speeds which it doesn't. Also, Like i said, my tires seems to wear out normally, So, I'm not too sure whether or not I should change my shocks absorbers. I have heard from many shops and people I should replace shocks around every 50,000 miles. Should I replace the shocks on my car and would it be worth it or not worth it? Will I be able to feel a major difference like driving a new or low mileage car such as smoothness, less bumpiness while i drive, and road noise isolation? What other parts/suspension parts are associated with shocks that would need to be replaced within the job? Where is a good place I can go for a good reasonable price and professional work? For more Information, The State Where I live: Southern California County where i live: Los Angeles Border/Orange City where I live: La Mirada Cities I am comfortable driving to: La Mirada, Brea, Fullerton, Cerritos, Artesia, La Habra, and/or anything within ~10-20 miles from locations I have listed. Also, If anybody knows any good places near Riverside, California especially near UC Riverside campus, That would be good because I will be living there for school in few weeks. Thanks Answer: |

NASCAR hates California-based race-car drivers?...? Question: It seesm that NASCAR has a rule that ALL drivers MUST live w/in a 50-mile radius of Charlotte, NC...WHY??? Take Kevin Harvick, for example:Born in Bakersfield, he and his new wife had just bought a custom-built house in nearby City of Tehachapi when NASCAR officials made him sell it and move to Charlotte;he's more homesick than ever before...Or Jeff Gordon(from Vallejo, near Oakland);NASCAR goons bought him a house near a supposedly-isolated lake and made him move there(he only lasted a week, then moved back to his adopted hometown of Indianapolis!)... The only exceptions are the Andretti brothers and Robby Gordon(from Artesia, near Long Beach)... Why would NASCAR officials enforce the North Carolina-or-else rule for its drivers? Look at the new pole-sitter for the '07 Daytona 500:he's from Riverside, but was forced to move to Raleigh in order to race!... That's downright ILLEGAL!... Your thoughts, please... Update:the pole-sitter for the '07 D-500 was actually born in Torrance, but now has to live in the Charlotte suburb of Mooresville(to appease the NASCAR folks)... This was a valid question, so please, NO MORE STUPID ANSWERS!!!... Thanks for your cooperation... Actually, the team owners DON'T have the authority, NASCAR officials have the final say about where the drivers AND team members live, and if they say you have to live in a 50-mile radius of Charlotte, then by golly YOU HAVE TO!... JMO... To that last person's answer, I'M RIGHT!!!:Jeff Gordon is a Californian by birth(City of Vallejo-NE of Oakland;his parents divorced when he was 13 and he moved w/ Dad to Indianapolis, where he still has a home in one of the northern suburbs)...Robby Gordon(no relation; was born in Long Beach, and still lives in nearby Artesia w/ his big family!)... Answer: Your question is based on false information... NASCAR does not force drivers to live anywhere. Sterling Marlin lives in Tennessee and has never lived in NC. The Hamiltons also live in Tennessee. There are also several drivers who live in Virginia. Mark Martin lives in Daytona. Whoever told you drivers are required to live in NC is a huge liar. As for Kevin Harvick, he still has a home in Ca. He chose to move to NC to be closer to his RCR team and subsequently to the team he now owns, which is in Kernersville, NC. By the way, Harvick lives about 85 miles from his RCR team and he's about 100 miles from Charlotte. If you will attempt to use some critical thinking skills, you would know that most of the drivers live in NC to be close to their teams. |
