Final proof that you should never screw with a Battlestar Galactica sports fan — some oversea chiseller set out a taste of their own medicine , good manners of Saul Tigh and Laura Roslin .
A poster on the prescribed BSG meeting place say he place an ad on Craigslist trying to trade his mom ’s old ambit . He said at the bottom of the post : “ Local only – Cash only . If you are a defrauder , I will scam you right back using fake Battlestar Galactica names . ” Despite this warning , three scammer draw in touch , offering to send him a cashier ’s handicap from an oversea country .
Even though the guy was only ask for $ 330 , all three tick arrived for around $ 4000 each . Oops , the scammers said , we sent you too much money . Can you deposit the handicap and then cable us the money back , minus the $ 330 plus a little more for your problem ? ( Of course , the checks will finally recoil , but by then they ’ve bring forth your money . )
But the wily BSG fan had told them to send substantiation in the names of Laura Roslin , Saul Tigh , and Gaius Baltar . And he has the pictures of the checks to demonstrate it . So the chiseller were out $ 50 each for overnight delivery of these phoney check . And Laura Roslin got a handsome check for $ 3,500 to help her buy a unexampled Book Of Pythia on eBay . ( Those holy divination are n’t cheap , you know ! )
