Having fun with scammers....

ABN2060 · #1 04-01-2010, 05:50 PM

I have my '93 GT on CL and suspect I have two scammers emailing me about it. I think I'm going to have a little fun with these clowns and see how far they will go. I did this a year or so ago and had the guy so pissed I never heard back after about 7-8 emails back and forth.

To be continued......

What do they want to do? Send you a certified check for more than you're asking and then send them the remainder or use the remainder to pay for shipping?

I have had that BS.

This guy is trying the Western Union scam. You have to read the emil from the bottom up. Hope he catches on I am toying with him.

Mark,
Thank you for the purchase of my car. I'm sure your nephew will enjoy it. I will send the $600 via Western Union back to you tomorrow.

By the way, the car was sent to have a new mustang engine and transmission installed. I was not happy with the performance and did not want to sell it the way it was. Also, new slicky tires, titanium thrusters, mini tub, bazooka intake, shimono long tube headers, and flapper valves were installed in the heads. It will have 550hp so I hope your nephew will be able to handle that much Ford power.

Please forward your shipper information because the car needs to be moved from it's current location.

Thank you.

No. He is a persistent fella. He sent me this email this morning.

Thanks for the reply,once you send the money to my shipper at the address provided and once you confirm the money in your account,my shipper will be at current location for pick up,so let me know when you send it so that i can contact my shipper and send the address of the current location to him.ok

It is sad that people fall for this stuff everyday.

Oh yeah...scammer big time. And you're right it is sorry people fall fo this stuff. Desparation can make people ignore their intuition.

You have to revise the plans - instead of sending it through WU, tell him you are sending him the cash directly and ask to where you are to forward it...

Then, print a few of these out and send them:

Then let's see if you get a response... LOL!!!
