Steve, you missed his entire point.

He was clearly in correspondence with this person for three weeks to reverse the funny on the scam artist.

Common sense says he picked up on the discrepancy between the addresses and ran with the routine.

goldgreen90ef · 02-20-2008, 10:52 AM

eg6sir · 02-20-2008, 11:19 AM

Taco15 · 02-20-2008, 11:33 AM

i got at least 6 or seven when i posted items on Craigslist. Those are easy to spot. They always have the same story. Cashiers check payment and they will send someone up to pick up the item.blah blah blah.

I tell them to send me pics of their naked wives or daughters......and their pic with id next to them and social number. i never get a response. huh, I wonder if it was the naked pics request.

tunercrazed · 02-20-2008, 11:36 AM

last one I got was about 3 weeks ago, I knew it was a scam from the start from the obvious sense of "its too good to be true" so I played with him for a good week, told him I had shipped the money from my paypal credit account....ahhh how much that guy entertained me....
