Lol @ Nigerian scam artists

so I put my old ipod for sale on craigslist and got a reply from a scammer.i knew he was one right off the bat because he wanted me to ship it. i no longer have the ipod but i just wanted to mess around with the guy.

the craziest part is that he was "paying" by paypal. usually they pay by escrow or money order. how can u get scammed if he's paying through paypal? well he sent me the paypal payment and to the untrained eye, the email looks pretty legit. i sent him a reply to let him know that I will be shipping the ipod out asap lol. what a tool!

anyways, to those that arent aware of this sh!t, please be careful and ask lots of questions. thankfully i've never been scammed but hear there are lots of folks that get taken advantage by these nigerians aholes.
