Nowadays, 14 year old kids use fake ebay auctions to make money.
Not.

It's not like I don't have to mow lands for "Space Invaders." I just use debit, credit etc. for online stuff.

I think we've learned at least 3 things today.

1)don't have your phone number available online.

2)don't spend $6.02 for a dollar bill on ebay, or you'll get hacked.

3)14 year old kids don't have to mow lawns for space invaders anymore, they sell electronic pictures of corned beef hash on ebay.

Well, now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

When I Googled steaknchop and the name of the city in California that is listed on the fake Stan Musial autographed ball (or the corned hash), I came up with a number of web sites and chat boards this person was listed as a member on or had commented on. On one of those sites, he states his age as 22.

If you have time and want some fun reading, Google steaknchop and start going through the listings.

Leon- Maybe his dad is him? It's hard for me to believe that a 14 year old would be doing all this ebay scam stuff........but then again, who knows nowadays.

First time post.

Man, what a fun read.

When Leon mentioned that the dad called him, all I could think of was "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

No, Dan, I'm wondering how long it took him to type out the message with a pencil glued to his forehead one letter at a time.

Seriously, this is funny. Now that brings to mind a new topic.

there's a post on a board from him from a few days ago that was asking if anyone had a Tiger Woods auto for sale. This falls under things that make you go hmmmm.

Other things that make you go "hummm?" are as follows;

if the guy is 14 then

1) How did he get hsi own eBay account?
2) How did he get his own PayPal account?
3) How did he get his own credit card?
4) Why was he on a chat board at 1:30 A.M. this morning? Shouldn't he be asleep?
5) Why was he on THIS chat board this afternoon? Shouldn't he be in school?

Wow....so I just got a call from our kid members dad. It is unfortunately plain to see where he gets his issues. After his dad informed me that I don't know my rights with my middle school education, I told him I did sleep at a Holiday Inn one night. I can assure our members, the apple ain't falling far from the tree on this one. And his dad steadfastly refused to believe I am not responsible for what others say. He went onto say he is going to close our board down. Why is it that people act like such idiots when they are so clueless as to what they are talking about? (I think that is a rhetorical question)
