Here's the thing. The fact that we are not currently in a crew should not be used as a scapegoat to explain the fact that we, as a community, are sub par. What is going to change if said crew is to be made? More fests? Actual share of knowledge, tips and perhaps secrets =p? Are we actually going to start pointing out each other's mistakes? These are all things that we can and should be doing already, but we aren't. At least, not proactively. Everybody is "training harder at brawl to get better", in their own little corner, and I guess that is a problem you're trying to attend to. But I think that to resolve it, it's our attitude overall that we need to change~

Etc, etc. Imo, a
crew would then be in order, if we are the only ones to display of such a will to progress~ (srsbizness)

Soooo... I tried selling my PS3 on Kijiji. Got a response from a guy who supposedly lives in ontario saying he was interested and he'd send me a money order. And so my name and address I gave him. When I got the letter the next week, the M.O. and a letter with instructions was found inside. I had asked for 700 but he wrote down 2.5k... In the letter, he says (copy pasta): "Meanwhile the excess money left is for the shipping arrangement and the shipper also has some other items to pick up for me in France as well, I want you to kindly send the remaining balance at the western union money transfer to Roy Eric the shipper in France...
Instructions...
You are to cash the payment at your bank and deduct your money and send the remaining balance to the shipper via Western Union money transfer close to your location so that the shipper can go ahead and make the booking for the pick up at your place immediately he has received the money at the western union outlet today
And this is the shipper information you are to send the remaining money to via Western Union
Roy Eric, Paris France, etc..."
My parents told me that the check was possibly fundless and that by pressing me to send the 1.8k to Roy, he'd effectively steal my own money. That stuck in my mind for a while so I didn't do anything for a day or two. I went to the bank and they informed me that M.O.s have to be payed up front so the money is deff. real. I then talked to a friend and he told me that I might be acting as a 3rd party in a money diversion scheme... as he supposedly had taken classes covering such situations amongst other things~ He also told me that since I have his money, I could be sued for scam and that I should contact the authorities, just to be safe. What do y'all think?

Should I go through with the transaction? I'm mainly concerned about why it is that he couldn't send that money himself to his shipping agent... and traveling two hours is certainly much more simple of an option... Anyways, the money is cashed in but frozen until thursday... so that gives me time to think...
