I play EVE Online, and have an alt named Prince of Nigeria. He is explicitly for scamming when there's nothing better to do. I don't even try very hard, just poo poo like "send me money and I'll double the amount!" There will be dozens of people in chat calling out my scams.

I've still made a decent amount of money doing it with that name, and those people calling me out. In one case someone sent me 500 million spacebucks. You can't do anything to save stupid but make sure stupid never sees the scams in the first place.

I feel like you've mentioned this before, but if not. You really should tell the tale in the Griefing Thread over in Games. I'd love to hear more. Again, assuming you haven't told the tale.

Callout, autographed photo, skype, and I will mail you a badge of my "fursona". This is something you will always have as a collectible. I will also mail you a signed limited edition hardback copy of my novel, ((When the publisher is done with it.)) Some guy's trying to get $3500 for a fursuit, and this is his highest tier "reward" which is just sad.

This isn't even for them to build it. They're going to take the money and pay it to someone else to make the suit for them.

In the a/t furry thread it was also established that although they are likely to promise good pay, they habitually blow off payment and often try to be really overbearingly nice to the artist in order to fish for price cuts. Anyway just some cautionary tales about making furry porn.

Nevermind that $120 for a chef's knife isn't even a "better price." Some are definitely way more expensive, but you can get a quality knife for cheaper.

Case in point, an excellent quality knife for less than half the price. And possibly can be had for cheaper, that's just a quick look at a local restaurant supply store.

The bit I've been reading is that their adhesive used in the box to keep it down is failing under transit conditions for overseas flights and it's coming loose in transit.

TBH I'm still quite keen to get mine. Maybe it'll stop me biting my drat nails so much!

I'm not much a fidgeter tbh, but it's nice for what it is. And the adhesive is indeed, not very good.

Lol you expect this thing to GRIND spices? That needs a $250 upgrade. No the Spicero is all pre-ground spice.
