Why would the CC company be responsible for your own stupidity that has nothing to do with them?

Why would the credit card company give you money?

Ask the police if they will give you money while you're at it.

You're SOL unless you end up scamming someone else with that money, but that would make you just as much as a criminal as the guy who scammed you in the first place.

All you can do is learn something from your misfortunes.

nope. pretty out of luck.

CC companies only will if you unwillingly was frauded on the FIRST transaction. aka you buying from the first store.

Not on the resale.

Unless you go to the Knight and King Edward TD Bank. LOLOLOLOLOLOL

All jokes aside, it's a hard pill to swallow. I feel for you, man. Live and learn. I've done some pretty stupid things in my life, too.

Again, how did you become aware that the bills were fake. You're leaving some stuff out, bro.

If it wasn't for dealing with RevScene, I wouldn't have developed the saavy common-sense I have today when I'm dealing with Craigslist and other buy/sell services.

In the future, meet near a bank so you can verify the bills. Avoid taking large notes as well, their is a less likely chance they will be counterfeit if they're smaller bills (because then they would need MORE of them.)

Number one mistake -- big, big, big, big mistake...... did I mention big?

Tip of the iceberg?

Should have married the one that I let get away.............. shit happens and you make the best of it. "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"

Yes, tip of the iceberg indeed.

Good one parm, thats why I only accept loonies and toonies. :p
if someone is willing to give you a 20lb sack of coins, you know theyre legit.

But yea, nothing the CC can do, unless the item was under house insurance and maybe somehow you can convince them. Technically, if the bills are fake, the item was stolen.

Has happened to more people than you would like to think. The one that got away............. never happened to you?


I have made more than the best of it. I have done more than just provide for my family. YOU HAVE NO IDEA........

I make light of it, sure........... perhaps my humour is not to your liking. People make fun of their situation all the time.

god bless...........


BTW, it's all good.
