The Official Status Update Thread - Part Suprtek (Super Chicken 14)

[Westside]

So my Mom calls me while I'm at work tonight and is trying to tell me about something that happened to my Grandfather. So far I know that he gave some guy a ride to a gas station where he met up with another guy. Then they somehow conned him into taking them to his bank and withdrawing $6k, which they took. It was a con because apparently he wasn't under duress.

This is a 70something-year-old guy who lives on a General Motors pension. WTF?

I had to jump off the phone so I didn't get all the details. More later.

Keep us posted let us know if we can help.

You will always be my ground hog boy...

OK grandma.

Chore time then I'm taking supper down to my MIL and eating with her.

Speaking of name changes... Iron Jaw's Wife and Mrs Gungho were thinking of shortening their names to IJW and Mrs G. Is that possible if they really did want to?

That was a joke. We only change usernames on a very limited basis in extreme circumstances. It tends to cause more problems than its worth.

She said he is fine, he wasn't hurt. I'm just wondering what he was thinking by taking out that kind of money? Couldn't he tell it was a con?

It makes you wonder, but the people that break laws and con people train harder then we do! it's their job! and they train at it 24/7 glad he's OK, and I hope they can get his money back!

When they're really good (and many of them are) it can be a lot easier see it in hindsight. I hope you can get enough details to have a chance to do something about it. I'm thinking an INGO posse might be in order.

 

[Westside]

If they went in with him I am surprised they gave him the cash. Most banks won't hand out money in situations they think are shady. or at least it used to be that way.

 

[Westside]

Like the new avatar super.

He's in Greenville, OH so I think we'd have to leave our guns here.

Though I'd play along just for fun. I might be taking things too far though. This chicken suit is still really itchy.

OK so we'd have to find them and drag them across the state line first.

 

[HandK]

I'm good to go in OHIO!!

I could make some phone calls. We might have to make a stop around Dayton to pick them up though.
