Scamming the scammer...part II

[fBaran]

Do you all remember p-p-p-powerbook? I was selling my pc and monitor on craigslist, so an attempt for a scam was inevitable. I'm going to make the best of this. I should also add I'm getting scammed by the same IP address with a different name for my xBox. I'll be doing the same with that.
Also as a disclaimer, I'm using an address of where I used to work.

I have email and pics of everything so far. I'll start with the beginning...

I describe the item, condtion and all, in my add. And of course I get the classic:

is the still in good shape if so get back to me to transact

So I say yes, it certainly is just like I described it in the add, and reply to his email. Later that night...

Hello,i'll like to make payment via usps money order I would proceed with the payment immediately,and Incase you dont know how Usps Money order works, This is how it works, as soon as i make payment with Usps Money order, they will notify both of us that, i have made payment for some amount and they will have to pend it inorder to findout somethings about my payment. As soon as they approved my payment, they will also let you know that, my payment has been approved and a confirmation would be sent to your email and also your money order would be mailed to you immediately, the money order would be get to your address in five to seven business day, first class mail with an estimated delivery date of your money order. I think its better and safe because, once they approved payment and you have been sent the confirmation, its for sure that the seller or whoever thats involved will definately receive the money order and thats why it takes them hours to approve after pending As for the shipping, you dont have to pay adime for it because i will be responsible for the shipping to destination. Upon confirmation of payment via email, i will send you a fed-ex prepaid shipping label to you which you will paste on the package before fedex comes for the pick up. I will like to read from you if this is okay by you. Let me have your full name and address so that i can proceed with the payment.NB please dont forget to end the bid once My payment has been confirmed.thanks

Hohohohoho, boy. Did I see that coming or what!
I says in reply

The bid has been canceled since you are very interested in the item. My address is as follows:

Enculer Silvuplay
807 5th Avenue
New York, NY 10021

For you non-native Frenchh speakers, Enculer Silvuplay is grammatically incorrect for starters, and it means, in the formal manner, "f_ck please"
Looks like he doesn't know French.

i have made the payment okay get back to me immediately you reciev the approval in your email ..........thanks

He's pretty quick with that payment!
I got back to him IMMEDIATELY, as he requested

i have seen the approval and i believe yuou would have seen the approval in your email too..............so i will like you to get back with the lbs of the item so i can proceed with the shipping arrangement
thank

You know, just in case I don't check my email compulsively.
So, I get to weigh my PC and 21" CRT monitor.

It weighs 23lbs.

That's pretty light, don't you think? He didn't.

okay...............i will be sending you the shipping invioce and label tomorrow ..............so kindly drop off the item tomorrow and get back to
usps-online@post.com with tracking number for verifiocation ..............so that your money will be mailed out to your doorstep

First class sca-...I mean service! Straight to my doorstep!

Now here's my USPS confirmation. I had to attach it because it's pretty big.

Here's where my story ends....for now. Anybody want to pitch in some ideas? Help out?

I also love 419eater.

those are for nigerian scams.
One of my clients is a law firm, that recently represented a guy who was taken for about 1.2 million by a nigerian scam. He was being prosecuted because he had "borrowed" the money from his business in which he was partner.

I haven't been to that site, but got one of those recently, and decided to have at it. So I gave him my contact information (er, actually, the local FBI office's contact information)...

Well I shipped out my "PC with CRT monitor" today. Pics in links.

FedEx tracking number: 790824069168

I changed the amount from $55 to $2455 on the shipping forms too.

 

[clayj]

So he's paying shipping and duties on $2455 worth of merchandise? What's that gonna cost him, $100?

 

[fBaran]

Honestly, I have no idea. If it is gonna cost him that little, oh well. It's still worth it for me. I don't have to take out the trash that way. Plus, I had to go to FedEx anyways

Well I haven't read the entire tariff act it looks like it's a minimum of 5%... but there could be exceptions.

Maybe next time you can send the scamer this book to help him turn his life around.

LMAO! That's great. Maybe I will. After all, he's trying to scam me for my xBox with different name...from the same IP address.

 

[JHipp]

HAHAHA!

Let us know how it goes!

Next time, send a Nokia N-Gage. That will teach anyone a lesson.
