Beware of rental requests from a David Francis

[Blue Lizard]

There are plenty of folk regarded as Dingles...Us Brummies refer to Wolverhampton as Dingle Country...they have a fondness for scrap metal and ponys over there you know !

AHEM !!!!! Burnley.....A dingle......where are you from chrisbo48 ?
Burnley = lancashire
dingle( Emerdale I think is the show)= Yorkshire
And Zak,I think i am right in saying....is from Bury.
 
                   

Well said Fidimax!! Boyfriend is a claret and dad a Rover's fan    (both from Lancs).
Oh and Eli Dingle is from good old Chorley, Lancs!

Burnley are known as 'Dingles' especially from Preston and Blackburn, but, even with a name such as that they are the very best kind of claret and blue ................................................................and what on earth has this got to do with rental requests?!?!?!

For those who like the idea of seeking revenge on those who perpetrate this type of rental scam, can I suggest you visit this site: www.419eater.com.

To get a feel for the fun to be had read this one: Book 'Worm'.

A word of warning though.  You may lose several days of your life just reading these adventures and wetting yourself laughing.  I can't even begin to imagine the commitment of the people who run these counter-scams.

Dear SimonG,
 
You have made my Sunday!   I have laughed and laughed, having read Book Worm on the 419 site.  I receive at least one letter a week at my business - "scam" - will have great delight in giving them brain damage.  It is about time for the "worm to turn" and make up for the poor, unenlightened people who actually fall for these con men.  Alas, there are quite a few.

Do these people really believe they can get away with this?   If they read this forum, they will know that everyone has "wised up" to potential scammers.   Perhaps we ought to start up an "Enjoy Nigeria" forum, oh what fun we would all have
