Arsenal's conversation with a fellow sneaker fiend

[Arsenal23]

i was just laughin so hard at this whole thing that i had to post it here. heres the story: this kid wanted me to buy him shoes at a retail price of $174.99 or even $164.99 in some places, ship them to him, and once he has the shoes and knows theyre not fake, he pays me $300 for them. i told him i would go to some spots near me, see if they had these shoes, and tell them to deal with him, but he insists on doin the deal with me. then when the stores didnt have them, i told him to order them online and this is what he said:

LYriCaLJKiLLa: Yo man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: we needa talk
ARSNAL23: im all ears
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Alright, we agreed onna deal. Now ur backing out because u thought too much. I understand your worries in case I'm fradulent.
LYriCaLJKiLLa: But man, I understand it's your grad week
LYriCaLJKiLLa: But I would pay for everything bro
LYriCaLJKiLLa: It's just TRUST and my word man
ARSNAL23: yeah, but i just spent 700 on a computer, another 400 on shoes, and another 200 on a desk in a course of 3 days, now i have to buy this graduation stuff, im not gonna go buy some more shoes now
ARSNAL23: im even tryin to get concords, and i dont know if i can
LYriCaLJKiLLa: But bro, u agreed with me and gave me your word
LYriCaLJKiLLa: What size Concord?
ARSNAL23: size 9 or 9.5, i found 3 people tryin to sell to me, but now i dont know if i can buy them, oh yeah, add another 200 to all of what i just said, thats how much the extra things for my computer cost
LYriCaLJKiLLa: My friend has DS Concord XI's in 9.5, 11
LYriCaLJKiLLa: He's giving em away
LYriCaLJKiLLa: He sold his XIII's for this benefit charity
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And they were OG's
LYriCaLJKiLLa: :-(
ARSNAL23: regardless, it makes no sense for you to pay me that much money if you can get them at retail yourself with a gift card/credit card
LYriCaLJKiLLa: It does make that much sense man, cuz ur helping me out
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Would u just rather trade Concord's and XIX's?....I can convince my friend Brian for em
ARSNAL23: why wouldnt you just sell them and get the money for them?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Because u have the reach for something I want, and I got what u want
ARSNAL23: the XIX's would cost you at most 190 plus shipping, all you have to do is give someone you know your money, and buy them with that persons credit card
ARSNAL23: i used to do it all the time with other peoples cards
LYriCaLJKiLLa: No one around has connections man......And I don't have a footlocker or footaction or any shoe stores
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I swear man....If u can hook me up, I will set u with the DS Concord's or a monetary amount of your choice
ARSNAL23: you dont need all that, they sell gift/credit cards at the mall
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Patrick, point is, we set up a deal and gave me your word
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Why u hiding on me now Patrick
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I trusted u
ARSNAL23: i checked the 2 stores that i told you about, neither one of them had it. if i ordered the XIX's online now, regardless of what kind of shippin i did, it would take a while for them to get here because they are limited. forget about the fact that we agreed to do this, what sense does it make for you to spend more money than you have to to get them?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Because I have the money, and I would be willing to give it to you for your efforts
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And no...kicks-r-us has a FSR and is legit
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And will take 4 days max to get to your house
LYriCaLJKiLLa: and depending on what kind of shiping u use to get here
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I just trust u with this man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I will pay whatever the cost
LYriCaLJKiLLa: +consolation
LYriCaLJKiLLa: U don't know how desperate I am bro
LYriCaLJKiLLa: U are my last hope
ARSNAL23: yeah, thats why anyone you know, including older brothers, sisters, or your parents would be able to take the cash from you and order them with their credit cards
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I'm the oldest
LYriCaLJKiLLa: and I'm living on my own
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I haven't a CC yet man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And asking my p's would make look cowardish after I got in an argument about how I can manage on my own
LYriCaLJKiLLa: make me*
ARSNAL23: what about friends? no one you konw has a credit card?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Everyone else I know are broke....We all go to college; I'm pretty much the only fortunate who works nearly 24/7
LYriCaLJKiLLa: They are busy striving week to week
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Pat....Im'a say it like this; I can't believe I'm saying this on the net, BUT I TRUST YOU Man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I really hope u don't let me down man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I live in a bordertown where there's nothing to look forward to
LYriCaLJKiLLa: nothing to get
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And u are my ray of light man
ARSNAL23: in all honesty, do you seriously think anyone else on the web would agree to do what you are saying?
ARSNAL23: buy you shoes, then wait till you get them before they get money back?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Yeah...But I've already done deals with people recently, asking too quickly is too rude and impudent
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I will ship SAME DAY AS U!
LYriCaLJKiLLa: If that's what u want!
ARSNAL23: thats not the point, i dont know anyone that would just order shoes and send them to someone and hope they get paid for it
LYriCaLJKiLLa: This isn't about hope man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: This is about being real with one another
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I been real since Day 1
LYriCaLJKiLLa: If I was fraudulent, I wouldn't of kept hanging on to you for so long, I would've moved on
ARSNAL23: you just said your friend was givin shoes to charity, hes not strugglin
LYriCaLJKiLLa: He's not into kicks no more man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: He has a life now
ARSNAL23: and no credit card?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: he does, but me asking is just ridiculous considering what he's doing in life right
LYriCaLJKiLLa: now
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Patrick, I'm serious man, we'll ship the same day if u want
LYriCaLJKiLLa: insurance
LYriCaLJKiLLa: and everything
ARSNAL23: hed give you shoes for free, but askin for him to buy you somethin with a credit card and you pay him back is rude?
LYriCaLJKiLLa: No he only offered the XI's....
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And this was awhile back and he told me to keep in touch jusy in case I wanted in
ARSNAL23: that still doesnt make sense
LYriCaLJKiLLa: He offered his XI's to me because he's giving his J collection away...(He's outgrown what he calls a "fad").....
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Because he's doing big things in life
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Possibly moving to a metropolitan city
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I don't want to interfere with my personal needs.
LYriCaLJKiLLa: I gotta go man....Let's talk later but know u have made me a very disappointed man
LYriCaLJKiLLa: God Bless
LYriCaLJKiLLa: And Take Care PT
LYriCaLJKiLLa: Peace
LYriCaLJKiLLa is away at 10:02:20 PM.

[Yung Assassin]

[Arsenal23]

[jackal88]

OMG-WTF?

That right there is a perfect example of how an idiot gets scammed. He didn't even make sense to begin with. His excuses were downright lame and he tried dodging the bullet. LOL, I have never been in contact with anyone that dumb in my life.

[Arsenal23]

i dont know how old he is, but he claims to be from a small town...hes probably assuming im as stupid as the people down there

[Arsenal23]

[.Trigga.]

TOO LONG to read^^^^^^^...But from what i read (replies) homeboy is buggin...Ars who does he think he is dealing with PLAYA...Aiighht...

[Arsenal23]

man, if you cant get a credit card in this day and age, you dont know somoene with a credit card, or no one trusts you enough to lend you their credit card even if you pay them on the spot for it, theres something wrong with you.

[jackal88]

Get is IP address and give it to Sierra. If dude is sending you a virus, Sierra or someone he works with will handle tha shit for you.

[Arsenal23]

shit, i dont even care that much, hes a sad mother fucker just desperate to rip someone off. i was sittin there lookin through my mail and i noticed some shit that said "i didnt forget about you" so i scanned it and shit came up with a virus LOL

[jackal88]

[Arsenal23]
