anyone had a go at scam baiting?

[Guest brocklanders25]

I know its 'dangerous' to bait these net scammers but i'm so pissed off with them sending me e-mails promising to buy my zed for 6500 if i send the rest to their shipping agent via western union !!!! this geezer just e-mailed to ask what they probably thought were a couple of questions that would confirm he was 'genuinely interested'

e.g does the 300zx have a diesel or petrol engine, a sunroof etc

aaaarrrggghhh!

 

I strung him along with the promise of a mint 300k miler diesel zed for 2300 quid, what a knobber, he tells me its a bargain and he'll send me 6500 straight away!!!! :smash: :smash:

the scary thing is that people fall for this crap!

so who do they send to collect the car? why not just get em arrested when they come?

[Guest brocklanders25]

they don't collect the car as far as I can see?

I think the scam works by them insisting that the day the draft 'clears' in your account you have to send their shipping agent (who is more than likely themselves) the remaining 4000 quid via western union, they cancel their dodgy draft (or it never actually clears anyway because its pony)you're 4000 out of pocket, of course a lot of people wait till they know for sure that the money materialises in their account, but it only takes one to fall for it and then hey....£4k for two or three e-mails work?

scum bags
