LOL, that rocked!

It's funny, but wow that guy is a dick.

 

That's why I don't think it's true....Nobody is going to be that persistant with a guy who is obviously being a dick.........And, this first poster caught a smoking gun:

 

it sounds like it's coming from the UK ("colour" instead of "color," foreign telephone number), but then the reward is in $ (I presume U.S. currency)? Is this whole thing a hoax? Just sayin'......

That dude is an Australian satirist. It is a joke IMO

Yeah I agree, the thread feels abit contrived.

 

I've read thru a few humorous (or is it humourous :devil:) emails and email threads (Confession of an IT Nazi - you do realize that when you send an email at work other people can read it?). And this one feels planned

I disagree. David Thorne is an obvious pseudonym, but I can't figure out if his real name is Tom or Darin.

And you still haven't figured out that Tom = Darin = You = Me = Booster = Crayonz = Booster = Me = You = Darin = Tom

Don't canadians put the "u" in words like that too? Anyway, that little catch really doesn't mean anything. It could easily be explained away by saying it's a british guy who is working in the States.

Then why the foreign phone number?

No... You think so. :devil: I find it rather dumb and not funny... Oh well, to each their own. Is this what passes for stupid white collar humour? Notice my "ou?" :w00t:

 

Also: Who says: "I will post it in my suburb." :w00t:

 

If they really wanted to make it believable, why not make it consistent... A secretary? Also include real numbers that are blacked out. I find this rather sloppy. Okay, maybe the idea of the clueless designer is sorta funny along withg a secretary looking for a service that they could easily handle. Doesn't a secretary usually handle chores like this? Faster to do it herself. Right off the bat the way it is set up tells you that it is a glaring fake.

Wait, I am Beerball? This deal gets worse all the time.

Because that is the number one rule for making hoaxes seem more believable... Make them centered around a far away place... The people have a harder time determining the validity of the thing. I didn't notice it, but did you catch the time stamps? What did those look like? Hint: I think they were in day, month, year format?
