I don't know. He looks interesting to me. If he offered to pay for my beer I wouldn't turn him down

Just sayin' ... on Summitpost, you gotta watch out for the one's who DON'T look suspicious.

Actually, the guy looks like he'd fit in with any gang of rats here in the Desert Southwest! "Badges? We don't need NO stinking badges !"

I was making a joke, referring to the terrifying look in his eyes and disheveled appearance. Not that I look any better. I was taking a nap on my lunch break at work on the patio. I was wearing my old down sweater which was held together with duct tape. A security guard rousted me and said move it along, no bums allowed. I showed him my badge and he apologized. :oops:

Not saying their posts are bad, but they are extremely similar:
http://www.summitpost.org/users/trekking/102299

http://www.summitpost.org/users/adventure/102298

Same age, country, font, occupations, gender, and profile text. They are also using profile names with a theme rather than a real name. And they joined on the exact same day. :wink: So I could say more but you get the idea.

So perhaps they could get a PM letting them know that one user per person.

Nothing to worry about with him; he was just helping me with some trail work. We were building some rock steps. As you can see he isn't very good at picking out the flat ones, but he never tires of carrying them. :wink:

left in the bank. The total fund is Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars. (USD 2, 500,000.00). The money is still in the bank
and l am with all the documents.

Please I need your assistance in the following ways:

1.To help me get this money out of the bank and invest it in your
country.
2.To help me to come over to your country to continue with my education.
3.To stand as my business partner until I am out of school to handle any
investment.

If you can help me with these three things, I am promising you 15% of the
total money as soon as you receive the money in any account of your
choice.Your suggestions and ideas will be highly valued.please reply urgent
to my private email for more details
(isabe02@yahoo.com)
