Scamming a scammer...lol
I recently had an LT1 engine for sale on Craigslist, and was contacted by a gentleman with the typical greed scam, where he agreed to send me an overcharge of money in return for my product and I was to keep $100 for my troubles and send him back the difference in cash..lol
I honestly dont know how people fall for this type of shit but I played along and had him send the Fed ex to my work address...The funny thing is, Im a police officer and had him send it to the police station..lol!!! Dumbass Nigerian scammer.. If nothing else comes of it, at least I cost him $30 sending a fed ex overnight package to my work..Ha ha!!! I should send him back a package of dog crap just to be a wise guy.. Here is his last email: Hello, How are you doing ? I will like to let you know that you will receive the payment today. Here is the FEDEX tracking number for the package......793158180494 FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS BELLOW: Immediately you receive the check, just go straight to your bank and have the check cashed instantly or you can deposit it into your bank account. As soon as you have the funds, deduct the money for your item and also take $100 for yourself for your running around and have the rest of the money wired to my mover via Money Gram International Transfer which can be done at any Wal-Mart store around you so that they can have the money for the pickup. Here is the name and address to send the money to: Name............REYNALDO RAMIREZ Address..........283 East Street City............Fontana State............ca Zip Code.........92335 Email:....

Couldn't the police go to the address listed in Ca. and pick the guy up?

Nah most likely its a network of people involved. And the address is proabaly a drop spot.

Here is a picture of the check, he actually sent it to the name MIKE HUNT (MY CUNT)....I dont know how people fall for this cause the scammers say they are out of the country, yet manage to mail a check from DC, that drafted from a company in California...I guess blind greed drives people right into this scam..
