Fun With Scammers...

Over the past year or so I've been having a good amount of fun with scammers...

Like alot guys, I like to buy, sell and trade just about anything I can get my hands on and 99% of the time, I sell on Craigslist. Those of you that have sold tings on CL know that scammers will hit on anything.. cars, trucks etc. and it's pretty clear who the scammers are when they contact you. They ask the condition regardless of your description, if you're the first owner yada yada. It used to really annoy me and I'd reply in some obscene way.

About a year ago, I thought what the hell.. let's see what happens. I gladly gave a scammer my name and address and waited for his check to arrive. Would you believe that he overnighted it? The check was for way more than the selling price to "Cover Shipping". I was supposed to cash and use the excess $$ to pay to ship it to them. I had no intentions of trying to cash it but it was so much fun, I did it again.. and again! I look at like they're wasting their time and money on me.. instead of someone else that may fall for it. SO maybe I save a little old lady here or there.. who knows? But basically the scam is to get you deposit this fake check and you pay to ship it only to find out weeks later that the check was a phony.

Most recently I placed some "Big *** Fans" on CL for a ridiculous price at first just to see how stupid these guys really are. Checks are rolling in for $14,000 and $18,000 LOL. I think once I have enough checks, I'll frame them and try to cover a wall in my shop :)

ANybody else like to waste scammers time and $$
