Well, I was on ebay, this lady had a listing of a walmart gift card, she supposibly had an extra card worth $500 and was selling for $270. I emailed her outside ebay and set up payment through greendot moneypak. I sent her the code for the reloadable code, which I regret and then was waiting for her to email me back. Within 8 hours or that moment she closed down her ebay account. She said she was going to email me back right away. 2 days later she said she sent it and gave me a phoney tracking #, obvioustly it didnt work and I have no way of getting in contact with her. She scammed me and now I want to hunt her down to get my money back. Here is her contact info, name VICKKI CULVER – AS OF 2003 AGE 34. CITY AS OF 2003: OIL CITY, PENNSYLVANIA. PHONE NUMBER AS OF 2003-(814) 676-2010 ADDRESS AS OF 2003-406 4TH STREET If anybody knows her or can lead me to track her down, I would appreciate that. Or any ideas that can help me find current info about her so I can get my $ she stole
Best thing to do is call the police, believe it or not. Since she scammed you: you can also report her to the FBI. If she has children, social services may do a spot check to make certain that a mother that engages in criminal activity doesn’t otherwise endanger her children’s welfare.
Payback’s a…well, you know: just go the legal way ’round: you can take her to court, as well.
I got scammed on ebay, can anybody help me catch this lady who scammed me of $270 to track her down?
career choice. oil?
I have an Associates in Liberal Arts. I have been a repo man, a fire fighter, a commercial diver and have finally setteled ( in my mid 30’s) on the oil business in Texas and abroad. At the moment I am a derrick man on an oil rig making really good money with excellent opportunity to advance. My question is, being too old to keep changing trades : Is the Oil Business in America going to keep booming for the next 20 years or so?
my guess is that, as long as we choose to drive automobiles powered by gasoline, we’ll have a need for oil….
What is an oil boom?
While this could technically have other answers, the one in common use today is..

Would a supersonic plane create another sonic boom when it slows down under the speed of sound?
I bet the question didn’t make much sense. What I mean is, when an aircraft passes the speed of sound, it creates a sonic boom. We got that down. But after it does its main flying and slows down to land, does it create another sonic boom when it reaches the speed of sound again while slowing down?
An aircraft creates a sonic boom for as long as it is flying above the speed of sound. The sonic boom stops when it slows below the speed of sound.
The boom is not a one-time phenomenon that occurs when crossing the sound barrier. It is a continuous phenomenon that exists for as long as the aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. On the ground, the boom is heard at a given point once as the aircraft passes, but the boom itself travels with the aircraft and sweeps the ground below.
The boom is just a shock wave that is produced by the aircraft as it moves through the air at supersonic speeds. The shock wave fans outward from the aircraft at greater than the speed of sound, but rapidly slows to the speed of sound and is heard as a bang or boom at long distances. Most aircraft actually produce two shock waves, one at the front and one at the back of the aircraft, and so a double boom may be heard if one is close enough, otherwise the two may blend into a single rumble.
What companies own the bulk of the oil sand reserves in Alberta?
Ideally which companies have the largest proven reserves?
Additionally any other oil company tips are welcomed.
Who has the largest lease, or leasing priority and how is that set up then?
I am looking for an investment opportunity; what would you recommend?
Alberta owns all of the oil sand. The provincial government owns the right to all subsurface and minerals in Alberta, even on private property. Thus the government only leases the rights to subsurface to companies and Alberta collects the royalties on all generated revenue.
If you are looking for investment opportunities this is probably not the way to do it!
Edit: I would look into alberta based coumpaines that have been around a while and have drillin/minning sites that are on a long-term lease. I don’t know many compaines off had but syncrude is one of them. Do a simple google search or talk to a financial advisor. They can help you invest properly, but remember the oil production in alberta is at a low so unless you are ok with investing long term don’t expect a qiuck return. Not untill the economy aka the US dollar sky rockets again (if again)
How do you get an oil sheen out of a simming pool?
I recently dropped an oil lamp (used as insect repellent) into my pool. Now the water is cloudy and there is an oil sheen on top of the water. I don’t know what type of oil this is but would appreciate any ideas on how to remove this oil.
Tennis balls. Yes tennis balls! The material in the balls absorb the oil into itself. Put about four of five all around the pool, let them sit for about 3 hours without the pump. After that run the pump with the balls and they should take out the oil, try the next day with new tennis balls and repeat the process.
Electric bill higher in the winter with oil heat, is this normal?
We bought the house last march, and it is the first house we own, so we’re still getting used to what the winter bill should look like, but since october it has averaged to about 80$ a month. In the summer it was about 35& or less since we don’t use anything to cool down but our windows. We live in Central Pennsylvania and have oil heat. My question is, is the furnace to blame for this spike in our energy bill now in the winter? I understand the fact that the water heater is also working more now in the winter, but I just want to hear from other pepole I guess. Is this spike in our electric bill normal? Thank you for your answers.
I am not using space heaters or bathroom heaters. I cook most of the meals at home and use washer/dryer to do about 5-7 loads a week.
Your furnace has a big fan in it that draws a BIG slug of power each time it starts up. Once running the current draw drops way back. Whether you burn gas or oil doesn’t make any difference in the electric bill. In fact you get more heat from oil than gas so the fan should run less. Some folks run the fan all the time so that start-up power draw doesn’t take place. You could turn everything off in the house, go outside and observe the power meter, is it still turning?? If so you missed something. Observe how fast it is spinning, then start turning things back on. Does any one thing cause it to spin fast, if so that one is drawing a lot of current. While doing this make sure the furnace is off, then turn it on (fan on) and watch for that spike in meter spin. You could do all of this with current meters but you should get a good feel as to what is drawing the current. Don’t forget to turn on the dryer, run the hot water so it comes one, etc. Have fun….. And yes, the furnace is to blame for the spike……
