Now that he's retired his pursuit of writing individualized letters to baseball player and enclosing their baseball cards to be autographed, the thing that most occupies his time is seeking out Nigerian-type scam artists--i.e., what's called the Nigerian scam; not a racial slur--and he scams them. He ties them up for months via email, pretending he's rich and ready to bite. Almost cruelly, he's had some of them prove <I>their</I> good faith by sending foolish photos of themselves and making long-distance phone calls to numbers that turn out to be foreign police departments.<BR/><BR/>Stephen Tiano, Book Designer & Page Composition Specialist<BR/>email: stiano@optonline.net<BR/>iChat screen name: stephentiano@mac.com<BR/>blog: Book of Tiano<BR/>blog address: http://stevetiano.blogspot.comStephen Tianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498739383735758528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-1157298415123934172006-09-03T11:46:00.000-04:002006-09-03T11:46:00.000-04:00I wish they'd come up with something interesting a...I wish they'd come up with something interesting already.darahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12523353095030819242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21883778.post-1157275542000468882006-09-03T05:25:00.000-04:002006-09-03T05:25:00.000-04:00I love the ones that say they are looking or a han...I love the ones that say they are looking or a handsome man to marry and split their fortune with, and I just may be the one to fit the bill! :/MissMusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272376285996126651noreply@blogger.com
