You want to know the funny part? The item I'm selling is an old Sharp DVD Player which only retails for about $60.00 if you can find it. LOL

These scammers sure are desperate, aren't they?

[jajaja]

lol "im Anna by name" funny way to say it. Why try to scam for a $60 DVD player? haha

[GunPanther]

lol "im Anna by name" funny way to say it. Why try to scam for a $60 DVD player? haha

I'm wondering whether or not I should even try to play around with this scammer.

I could accept the payment and then claim that I've sent the item. Of course, I'm not going to be responsible for any fraudulency because I would be the one losing the item.

What do you think I should do?

Nigeria is nothing now. I've had "scam" emails supposedly coming from all these countries over the years: Nigeria, South Africa, Sierra Leone, India, Malaysia, Indonesia (following the tsunami), Australia, Canada, Brazil, Holland, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. To name the ones I can recall.

[Flack]

You could do like that guy on that other website did, tell them you agree but that they have to pay cash for shipping. Then when they send you the cash and the bad money order you can just not ship them anything (or a box full of garbage).

[Cmosfm]

Yeah, I'm all for scamming a scammer. Hey, if you can waste their time, go for it! If you can get some cash out of it, better!

I don't find it a bit unethical or immoral, if you're wasting their time, they aren't REALLY scamming some poor defenseless eBay seller.

[drwily008]

Yeah man, NAIL THEIR ASSES TO THE FLOOR. Send them a turd wrapped in newspaper then put in a BIG ziplock freezer bag. They'll open it thing something is inside and puke city! And they will NEVER report you because it would be like a crack dealer calling the police after someone stiffed him on a bag of crack.

[boredashell]

put dog shit in a box and send it

[GunPanther]

Due to the response for me to go forward with 'playing with the scammer', I'm going to ask you all for a few suggestions:


What name should I choose for the scammer to send me the Western Union transfer? (I'm open to any names, as long as they sound 'legit'.) Name of an actor, a character, a type of fungus. LOL Get creative! If I don't get a name that's cool, but funny, I'll choose one myself.


What should I put in the box, if I do send an item?


Just respond to this thread and I'll check up on it.

whats more UPS do a "pay post on delivery" so get cash for post, send it by ups, they have to pay post again else UPS wont release.

[SegaAges]

Hey man, if they send you cash or a money order that goes through alright, why not send them the item. I may be on the wierd side, but you can try and cash a money order (well, here in Omaha) at pretty much any grocery store. If it goes through alright, send it. If not, and they only send cash for shipping, send them an empty dvd player box. Just give them a friendly message of something like "Thanks for not really sending me money, ass" or something along those lines. hmm, but then the question comes up again, what to put in the box.

Here is a name I just thought up of just now:

Mary Turner-Ovear
(May We Turn Her Over)

Of course, there are ones everybody knows:
Amanda HugN'Kis
Semour Butts
Harry Sax

I always like to use Mike Hunt, and I have always been a fan of long duk dong.

And I say scam these guys, the more you tie them up the less time they have to try and scam anybody else.

[WanganRunner]

Typically, these scammers have no interest in what you're selling.

The usual scam is to send you some sort of check for way more than you're asking, and then they ask you to mail the difference back to them.

They send a bogus check, it "clears", you mail the diff, and then in a month or so your bank tells you that the check was found to be bogus and it's YOUR problem, not theirs, because it's been over a month, and they are international. Then you're on the hook for all the money, and the scammer gets the difference you sent them, when they hadn't committed any actual money to the enterprise at all, just a phony check.

My advice is to stay far, far away from it. You might get yourself into trouble if you think you know their game but don't.

[Damaramu]

I recommend using the name Detective John Kimble, that way you can make some nice phone calls to them. And if you don't know who that is, he's a cop, you idiot! LOL

[Lemmy Kilmister]

What name should I choose for the scammer to send me the Western Union transfer?

Doing the deal by Western Union is just asking for all kinds of shit, imo. If you're actually gonna go thru with this then you'd better make sure they send you actual US dollars. Anything else they would just end up cancelled and leaving you with the bill.

As far as phoney names my personal favorite has been Hugh G. Rection for a while. Hell, she'll probably love to receive a package from Mr. Rection LOL

My fave to this day was one heard on the man show... Mike Hunt LOL

[fishsandwich]

My personal favorite was a priest...

Father Will U. Touchme'

He got the guy to go to an AIRPORT and carry around a sign with his name on it!

LOL

[Iron Draggon]

Just curious, how does a phony check ever "clear"? I still don't get that part.

[GunPanther]

Some pretty funny names, guys.


Alright, I've narrowed it down to these:


Eric Rexion / E. Rexion (Erection)

Michael 'Mike' Hunt (My Cunt)

Uwe Bolle (lol. Take that you accursed, shithole-movie producing man, you!)

Frank A.H. Quinn / FAH-Q (Fuck You)

Jack Henoff (Jackin' Off)

Ulysses Master Bate (U Master Bate)



Which one should I choose?



:rockets: GunPanther :2gunfire:

[SuperNES]

yeah, you should pretend like you got the 'money' and then send him a box full of trash or junk mail or something. then once you ship it, you can write on the customs form that it's worth like $2000, and he will have to pay a huge amount of taxes to have it shippped internationally. sorta like rob from www.cockeyed.com and his "p-p-p-powerbook". oh yeah, i have some funny names too. "Ben Dover" "Oliver Closeoff" "Mike Rotch" or "Eric Shin"

[Skueeee]

The perfect name: Isaic Harryals.

(I Suck Hairy Balls)

Hehe! :D
