Thank you young padawan. As you can see, I have changed my avatar to reflect the honor you have bestowed on me.

I must have gotten the twinkleberry from the toejam. Toe-jam--twinkle-toes--twinkle-berry.....you know how names evolve.

I still think we should have a sparkleberry recipe contest. icon_cool.gif

I just thank you for the idea to ask about the sparkleberry/twinkleberry in the first place. If everyone who's looked at this thread does the same thing to these guys maybe they'll get tired of it and move on.

But then where would the fun be?

My sister-in-law works at an online shoe company, and she said that the scam they get is people emailing to order boots with a two-day rush shipping. icon_confused.gif She says it's always boots, and always a two-day rush. I can't figure out why scammers come up with such specific details, then use them over and over. Maybe 'cause they're STOOOOPID????

I have strung this idiot along until he has postponed his "wedding" until next week.

He writes:

Dang, that guy is persistent! When you're done messing with him tell him that you only accept cash, that seems to be the key to getting rid of them.

Although a weeding cake might be nice...Is he going with a garden theme or something ? icon_rolleyes.gif

Either that or he's part of the green movement and is trying new ways of recycling--even weeds need a way to feel useful ya know. I did write back and ask him if he had plenty of reticulating styroplosion plastic and self-freezing boxes. I have yet to hear back from him. icon_lol.gif

Someone on another thread made the comment that he/she didn't think that scamming these guys was worth the time....I think that 5 minutes in the morning/evening for a chuckle all day is a pretty good trade but that's JMO as they say.
