Stupid shit you see on the internet

@Kruse yeah there was a show I watched years back in the UK where they engaged in conversation with the scammers and even arranged to meet up to handover the fee to enable them to collect the millions....
I got an email from my companies CEO a few years back, and yep, was one thing spelt incorrectly, although given my boss was supposedly asking me to click on a link to buy something, I kinda knew it was off!

Probably one of my unemployed pilot mates, so definitely not legit, didn't trust them when they had a job, (most of them are white so you're O.K. on the racism side - if you're white?). If you aren't then you are a racist.

We often get phone calls at work telling us there are warrants out for our arrest and what we need to do to make them go away

These arsehole scammers wreck lives by targetting vulnerable people with this sort of stuff and with fake virus scams. Almost scammed an elderly neighbor out of £300 a few years back
There's a whole community of anti-scammers taking these arseholes on. They get access to the scammers PCs , work out who's running the scams, steal files showing who's been scammed, wreck scam call centres and work with police and banks to get the money back. Def. the good guys. Search Youtube for Jim Browning Scammers
Another scambuster called Peirogi has some hilarious videos and an alter-ego grandmother called Vivian Rogers. Worth a watch.

Made me laugh, wish you pricks would stop doing that.
Anyway, at least I'll recognise the Wests in hell now.

A judge has directed the 83-year-old dementia sufferer should be freed, to take effect in three months to allow time for somewhere to be found to care for Vincent.
In 1968, he pleaded guilty to seven charges of indecent assault and was sentenced to the open-ended term of preventive detention.
Today he would probably avoid going to prison completely.
EDIT: Heard on the radio that the assaults were on young boys, so no way he'd have avoided prison.
“He has been refused parole at least 48 times, most recently on 19 August 2019. He is apparently New Zealand’s longest serving prisoner.

@taniwharugby my first thought was that removing this fella from his lifelong, safe environment into the care of a strange place and people would be about the most stress you could put him under.
This isn't an act of kindness. He's not going to skip about delighted at the modern world infinitely elated by his new found freedom.
Another fine example of the "saviours" making themselves feel better to the detriment of the victim.

Suspect a prison may not be the best place to deal with this:
"Vincent had stage five dementia and a range of other health issues. He appeared not to know his name, did not talk clearly, had no self-care skills, and required help for all his daily activities."

@Snowy give him internet access and he sounds like he'd fit in here just fine.

There is some evidence that he may already be here.

For hot Russian chicks nearby I would be able to accept a Saffa snake in greater aucks

I suspect that is part of "the stupid shit". The wording may be a bit poor.
He was most likely prosecuted for setting a pizza shop car on fire and plead guilty.
Setting himself on fire is just a bonus for us all.

@Stargazer The jokes just write themselves, don't they? Mrs JC read that out to me yesterday and it resulted in some very unsavoury banter.

They sure do, and I'm not going to ask.
I would like to see the reaction if a male star produced a sausage shaped food product and labeled it "this tastes like my penis".
It really is very amusing (I have the sense of humour of a 10 year old).

I don't read articles on Newshub's site (unless they're about rugby), so didn't read this one, but geez, the tweet!
She seems upset at now living in a fishmonger's residence.
