I had 5 books from my wish list come in and I dont have any credits to get them. I would buy credits but i dont have any money... :(     Im really sorry to bug you but does any one have extra credits I could have! I only have 1 day till it goes away...

or if you have any ideas on how to get them without spending money please let me know!

Post a deal on your bookshelf.  That's how I got credits for my WL books.

ok! thanks you for posting!

but im really low on money i cant send alot. and if i send the m the credit will not get to me fast enough...(thats what im having troubles with...)

I sent you five free credits--enjoy your new books! Regards, Elaine

thank you all!!!!

Please read the other forum on free credits. This looks like it might be a person scamming for free credits, look at her wishlist and look at the wishlist of the other person as well as the posts from that person and make up your own mind

It's the same scam artist(s) for sure....or it's two friends working PBS together. People can get several e-mail addresses and come back in on each one. So disappointing... To Our little greedy scammer(s)....Do something good and decent and help someone in need, don't scam people.

This is so very sad, that people would stoop to these levels.  Very disheartening to see such generous members taken advantage of.

Am I lucky.  If I read it before people posted then I would have offered the credits.  I would  have inquired as to when she could buddy me back the credits though.

Shame on you.

and thanks for the posts.  I hope that one person did not give her the credits.

her account has been closed/suspended...

Yep thats good. I gave her a credit too (I was out, and bought a few and luckily they gave it back to me). I don't know why people would do that (well besides being greedy). Its more trouble than its worth. Just put some books up and if you don't have any, than why bother with this site (unless you have money for buying credits)!

Let's hope that someone from this site can get her IP address and block it. Otherwise, she will probably be back for more free books/credits.

Hmmm....maybe I am just not very compassionate but If you don't have credits, don't have money to buy credits, you don't have money to send out books, then you would need to refuse the wishlist offers because you don't have the credits for them now. We have all had to turn down a book we have wanted at one point or another due to lack of funds. Also if I didn't have money to send out books then I would put my account on vacation and start getting the books at the library.

I don't mean to sound harsh but it seems like everybody wants something for nothing these days. Or the thought occured to me that she was asking for credits with this account and then selling them using a spouses or friends account. Which means she is making money from this site.

I just hate it how there are always people out there who end up ruining a good thing.

I was suspicious after I saw that she has only been a member for 3 days, yet she's had 5 WL books come up!  Yeah, right.   I didn't even know what the WL was 3 days after I joined.  Oy!

haha very true! i've been a member for about a week (well I started being one in July of last year, but never really got into it) and I've had about 2-3 wishlist books come in, but thats why i did the 2 for 1 deal on my bookshelf the first day(to earn some credits)! i am really enjoying this site!

Does Elaine P. get her credits back also?

Deborah

thanks to the Paperback Swap Team. Aren't they wonderful? I feel stupid, but I meant well. Best regards, Elaine

You shouldn't feel stupid at all, Elaine! You were being incredibly sweet and generous. The poster of the original message should feel stupid for being so awful. 99.9% of the people on this site are honest, so how were you to know?

Elaine that was very kind of you.I have been here 3 weeks and have had 2 wl books sent to me but i also had to turn one down because I didn't have the credits and I would not even think  to ask for them!
