Anybody ever gotton a freebie on pics don't match provider
Was just looking at a ad for a korean in town on BP. Well the pics are a a Japanese model. Other ads say sexy Hawaian. Pics don't match the phone number for other ads and there are other ads different pics. Fake for sure.
But the phrase that got me, is the ride is free if the pics don't match. Never happened to me.
Anybody ever gotten a freebie is when you get there. She doesn't match the pics?
Was just wondering?
Cover Your Ass (Hiding Money)
TBone,
My apologies for my tardiness in response. I know this post is a little buried now and I had every intention of responding to this sooner. I'm attempting to write as many posts as I can on topics just like this. I've been posting to the Tips and Tricks section. I won't write as long a post as I have been but I felt like this was a topic that a lot of people might be interested in. It's a good question.
Anyone with something to lose in this hobby has had the same issue, especially those with a joint bank account where the misses is the CFO of your family. Trying to hide money or at least scrounging up enough to dream from time to time can be a challenge. Let's start with the simplest of options:
1. Like others have stated when you go to the store get a little cash back. It's not too difficult and you can hide it easily that way. It takes a little longer to gather up funds, but it is a viable option. NOTE: Please loose the damn receipt. You don't need her seeing a consistent pattern.
2. Do you play golf or have a hobby away from the home, other than mongering that is? These are always ways to hide funds from the misses. If you play golf on a Saturday morning swing by the bank and make a withdraw for the green fees. Those are typically substantial amounts. Obviously, you won't be playing golf that day. Maybe poker night with the boys? Let's say you go all in first hand and lose everything for the night. Or even the office football board, a $20 board each week will add up, but damn you never seem to win that thing.
3. Make purchases for things you need that she couldn't care less about, but honestly you don't need either. Let her see the purchase or make her aware of it and then return it to the store for cash back. Most places will do that if you have the receipt, but don't have the card it was charged to with you. Be sure to check the return policy at the store. Shit from Home Depot works well. A couple cans of WD-40 in the garage that she's not going to look for. Or when she has the honey do list for the weekend you need to pick up a few things, just add a few more to get the job done that you can return at a later time.
4. Learn to save where you can. If you normally spend $10 a day for lunch, either bump that amount up or just don't eat. There's always that little hole in the wall that you love that only takes cash, hence the withdraw from the bank.
5. Learn to part with shit you don't need. Have an extra fishing pole sitting around the house. Hit up Craigslist and move that thing to put a little more scratch in your pocket.
Ok, now for a few more advanced options that pay a little bigger dividends.
1. You're going to have to get a bank account to pull most of this off. If you're setting up a bank account don't do it at the same bank you are banking at presently. Make sure it's a place that doesn't charge you fees. And most importantly don't have any type of paperwork from that bank sent to your house. You're just asking for trouble. Explain to the bank representative that you are going through a divorce and you need to establish a new account (this may be foreshadowing if your ass gets caught). Tell them you can't have any form of paperwork sent to your current residence. If they don't have a paperless system then have it sent to your office or a friends. Hell, the ladies I work with constantly have packages delivered to the office where they are hiding shit they purchased online from their husbands. Worst case scenario go down to the UPS store and get a PO Box they are cheap.
2. Do you have a credit card? If so, this will work for you most likely. Create an account at [URL]Squareup.com[/URL]. They will send you a little device that plugs into your smart phone for swiping credit cards. When you do this you can select a business name and the charge shows on the statement as the company or Square Up since the fees are technically going to them. Have an excuse for the purchase when it does show up on the statement you don't want her calling the credit card company. Have the funds directed to your bank account.
3. Most people have direct deposit now days. In most cases your HR department will help in assisting you with directing funds. It's very easy to have a certain amount of each pay check deposited into your newly created bank account. This would work really well if you were in sales and paid a commission where your balance will change from week to week. I'm sure you can have it setup as a flat amount or percentages.
Ok, in saying all of this as was stated before learn to LIE, LIE, LIE. You also need to begin to start dealing in cash only transactions anyway, it's important to avoid a paper trail. Lastly, my tips are just that simply tips they may not work for everyone but I want to make this very clear if you have a family to support don't take food off the table to support your hobby, because that is just wrong.
Hope those tips will help some of you.

As a "closet" hobbyist with something to loose, I find myself having to be creative in order to finance my hobby. Only by gathering / scrounging a little cash here and there am I able to enjoy the hobby.
For those of you in the same boat, how do you finance your activities?[/QUOTE]
LOL yep I do know. There is no free lunch.
[QUOTE=Anksgf;2191985]I have to agree there Doc.
You should know better.
[/QUOTE]Just had to check though make sure the rules hadn't changed. No such thing as a real freebie. Especially if its not a pro. LOL Everything costs even if not in cash. Nuisance level is the worst.
Real question around this one
Has anyone visited this one? Here is the thing, I text her and we have went back and forth then today I get a text message from a website saying my number is now listed with them for illegal activities you could say. What gives? Going to have to change the number now.

If a person sends a text message to one of those fake ads, the website operators will take the contact info and post it to their website (the website is included in the text message you received). The steps you have to go through to get your information removed sounds a lot like extortion. A confusing aspect is that the nefarious website will use pics (without permission of course) from legitimate providers as bait, maybe even someone you've communicated with before but the phone number is different. If you peruse their wasteland of a website, you'll notice that there isn't a shortage of local numbers in there. It's just a reminder that we must remain vigilant, even when merely window shopping.
Stay Safe,
