jerk harrassed me and MrodDrft recently. Claiming if we find pictures for them, and just "be a pal" and *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* we would win free d1 press passes! but at lass, we both missed out AKA told him to screw off.
edit: Actualy when he messaged me he acted like he just wanted stuff, after i told him i posted abunch of d1 pictures he can go to the forum and find them he asked where, i told him to search, he asked for me to do it, i told him know, i would have to do the same thing, then he went about how i wasnt being a pal and crap, finally at the end i told him to screw off then he claimed i could win free press passes if i did it for him. lazy SOB Last edited by nissanguy_24; 03-23-2004 at 01:48 PM. |

Then im like ur such an idiot just get it urself its not hard. Then he was telling me i know nothing about drifting and i will never do it in my life.. so then i was gettign so mad cuz hes so dumb. So i was like if ur such a drifting expert i asked him do u even know wat "touge" means. Just because i knew he wouldnt cuz hes such a ricer lol. He said. Cmon dude, dont get smart, everyoen knows wat that means. Then he never answered. And he stopped talkign to me. lmao

Just to clear this up.
1-This individual is pulling a SCAM and his is LYING 2-He does NOT have ANY affiliation with DRIFTING.com 3-There is currently NO DRIFTING.com photo contest. Also, about 3 posts were deleted because we just want to warn the forum and move on. Last edited by pita bread; 03-28-2004 at 09:23 PM. |

Well, most contests recipients are not notified via instant messaging.
Such a waste of time to even try to "scam" some pics. |
