I really don’t mind wasting my time so I want to find a way to screw this guy over…any ideas?

Hi ,
Alrite then, i really really appreciate your mail,i was
just about to make the payments when i had this little problem with
the picking up of the car ,I am a marine engineer, and I am currently
on sea and i am buying the car for my son as birthday gift as i
explained earlier on and i tried to book pick up with my pick up
agent, but they asked me to pay first before they can make the
booking, and they only accept western union money transfer for
payments and they dont accept paypal or bank transfer and I tried to
send the money online but i couldnt and I am on sea and there is no
way i can find a western union agent to make the transfer to my pick
up agent, so i wanted to ask if it was ok for me to include my pick up
agent’s fees in the payments I am about to send through paypal, my
pick up agent charged $650 plus insurance and all 'o that, pls can i
include their money in the payments I want to send then after i have
made the payments you will help me forward the $650 to my pick up
agent through western union money transfer, this I would have done
myself and not bother you but the for the fact that I am currently on
sea, so after I have made the payments you will help me send $650 to
my pick up agent through western union money transfer, I just wanted
to seek your consent before going ahead with the payments,I will more
than appreciate if you mail me back, and I will be making the payments
shortly.

David

PS:the shipping company’s Head quarters is in Texas and any pick up
fees to be paid is sent to their head quaters by the payee, so the
money for pick up will be sent toi their head quaters in texas through
western union money transfer(this can be done from any post office) or
you can do it online at www.westernunion.com

This guy pulled off the best scammer-ownage known on the internet (so far…)

Use some of his tactics, they are hilarious and they make the scammer pay out the ass!

how often do you get scammed… remember that fake check bullshit too

I’ve never been scammed.
I’m not that dumb. Put something on Ebay, you’ll be amazed at how many scam emails you receive.

This is not one guy sitting at his computer screen targeting just you, you wont be wasting his time by “messing with him.” These are just mass pre typed responses usually by a syndicate whose goal is to scam people dumber than you who obviously cant identify these at scams.

I bet they are used to people “messing with them” by now and know when to just drop the scam.

Yes and no, if you check out the link I posted in #2, you will see a great example of what happens once a scammer is scammed. They will do anything to make up the money lost, and hence you can pull off multiple scams again and again.
