So I'm trying to sell some stuff locally over craigslist, and I get two messages from scammers, for both my PC and my Dell LCD. Here are the messages below (two different email addresses)
After being the victim of a stolen credit card and Paypal (a horrible company), I would love to screw these guys over. Its obvious that its a counter-fit money order and an overseas address.
So... who wants to give me some ideas on how to screw the scammers? I'm thinking after I take the money orders to the post office and verify they are fake I could take the prepaid Fed Ex labels and fill boxes of not so pleasant garbage and send them to them. That way they have to waste money on the shipping and get some sort of surprise. Maybe I could make the value of the box high enough so they have to pay some sort of importing tax?
Any ideas, or is this just a bad idea to get involved with?
Hello am so immepresed in the item you listed on craigslist and am willing to purchase it*for my son studying overseas.i will like to ship the item directly to him.
I will be paying with (USPS) United State Postal Money Order payment .
This is how it works, as soon as i make the payment, they will contact you and as soon as its approved .
I think its safe and secured because, once payment is approved,it gives you the opportunity to monitor the payment details directly from their website and it for sure that the seller or whoever thats involve will definately receive the money order and thats why it takes them hours to approve after pending.Iwill offer you $510
I will like to ship the item imediately through My Fed-ex account, you dont have to pay a dime for it cos i will be responsible for the shipping to destination.
Let me have your full name and address as it will be written on the money order that will be sent to you.
Thanks and best regards.
