Not what I expected either and they certainly look different to some we see playing a didgeridoo here. I thought I had a photo of one but just can't find it! It looks very enjoyable regardless! Just wonder if they play it as well as they do here!

I had to look up what a 419 scammer was. You know I receive those emails too and I just delete them. Glad they are being caught!! Just loathe those types!

But I know someone who was caught by an email scam. He was told he had an inheritance coming....thing was his Uncle had died only a few weeks earlier and he had travelled to his funeral and sent flowers. We don't know how much he lost but it was a couple of months before he cottoned on that it was a scam and he was out buying new cars for himself and his wife.....set up trust funds for his daughters with what money he did have and settled with said wife as they then decided to split. They figure it must have been from the flowers he sent and were put on the grave and someone has come along and read the message he had written....or otherwise it was someone who knew him! Just not nice at all!!

He sure sounded like he knew how to play it properly. He even had a microphone mounted to catch the sound for the amplifier.

In regards to these scammers, most people have no idea how long it really takes to receive an inheritance. I was the court appointed administrator for my mother's estate and I can tell you it can easily take well over a year before the heirs can expect to receive their inheritance. People that don't know this can be easily taken in by the scammer when they're told about the supposed inheritance days or weeks after the death.

It's a real shame that more of these scammers aren't caught.

I used to be the top responder on the eBay Canada answer centre and I once had the sad job to tell a member that they had just lost over $10,000 to a scammer in the Kubota Tractor Scam, where the scammer sells a non existent vehicle and the unfortunate victim is left waiting for the car that never arrives.

Well I've heard many people play a didgeridoo but it wasn't until I heard an aboriginal play one that I realised that there are so many more sounds which can be made.....animal sounds especially....it's a real treat to hear them play!

We have one and hubby tries to play....it's all about the breathing and is so so hard to do....it must take an awful lot of practice!

I guess it all depends on what is in the estate and needs to be sold, or closed. Insurance payouts can take a while and you need all the documentation too. I was the executor for my brother in laws estate.....just waiting for birth and death certificates took a while. Finding everything wasn't easy either as he wasn't one with a good file system.

He won't talk about it now....I guess he just feels awful for being gullible....but everything matched up, so it would have been hard not to believe it. I think the fact he spent the money before he got it is what makes him feel worse, his daughters who he promised the world to and then there's the ex wife!

That must have been just awful telling someone they've been scammed and lost so much money!

We get those ones where they phone us and they say that something is wrong with our PC, they say they work for windows and can then hookup online with our computers to fix them.....they drive me nuts! I get so angry when they call and give them a piece of my mind....trouble is they hang up pretty quickly! I'd like to put a curse on them all!

Do what I do with these scammers, a bit of fun.... I just tell them to just hang on I'll get the owner who'll be very interested.... Then put down the phone and not answer it for five minutes. Satisfaction of having wasted some of their time

Just booked my airline ticket, hotel reservation, and bought travel insurance for my trip to London, England in August. All done on the iPad.

I hope you truly enjoy your trip sci! I hope you get the best weather England has to offer! have a blast! Hey are you going alone? I always travelled alone, Greece, Africa, Costa Rica , Mexico, Caribbean - but I was rarely alone because there are so many interesting people in this world! I loved starting out alone with a wide open non-ITENARY !!

Exactly. I'm on the registration staff for the convention. I'm going to be in London for almost three weeks.

I'm making the trip by myself but I'll be meeting friends in London that also go to the convention every year.

 

[squib]

I know you will have a great time! I'm very very happy for you. How cool to set it all up on your iPad and not have to go through someone else! Very nice!

It's a big trip. Sounds like you'll have a blast.
