Scammer

[Basic1906 10+ year member]

I have my van listed on Craigslist and I keep getting scammers requesting my address to purchase it with a money order and send them the rest of the money. I gave several of them a fake name and the address to the Louisville FBI. Now they are calling me a scammer LOL!! I cut and pasted my response to their email below. This shit is funny.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

"No I thought the FBI would be knocking on your door by now since that is where you sent the fake money order to SCAMMER!!!!

Scam the Scammers by giving them the address to the FBI??? Yes the FBI is the solution.

The first link they sent me went to a fake UPS site.

This is kind of interesting. The tracking number is legit and there is a full record on UPS.

So let's say for argument sake you receive this cheque, deposit it, and wait the 7-10 days for it to clear. You let the "scammer" know this is happening. Then the cheque clears. Then what?

How is he scamming a scammer? He had them send a check to FBI.

The old laptop one from way back was scamming the scammer. That one was classic ownage.

Yes, this is different from what I was talking about in my last post - most definitely BS. It does seem interesting that there is an actual UPS tracking record for this.

Meh, I guess I will never be able to think like a scammer...
