Gold Member Username: Alias747Eclipse Ti, MN Post Number: 1875 Registered: Apr-05 | Ok so I have been trying to sell some rims on craigslist for the past couple of weeks. I have been BOMBARDED with scammers. I actually gave my address to one of these scammers for the hell of it. Well he e-mails me back and says that he is sending me a certified check. I am like whatever. Well, today UPS stops by with on overnight envelope. I am blown away I didn't really think he would send anything. I open it up and it is the most obvious scammer template that you can come across. An "OFFICIAL CERTIFIED CHECK" for $3000.75. I was only selling my rims for $550. In his letter he tells me to cash the check immediately and then Western Union the excess to the address and account listed. I mean come on how more obvious do you have to get? Then he has an e-mail listed that I should e-mail him when I have done all this and give him the WU reference number. So I decided to have a little fun.... Here is the email I sent back to him: I got a check in the mail for $3000 dollars. I followed all of your directions implicitly. I cashed it and I have wired the excess to where you told me to. I am glad that I was able to sell my rims to you. Please let me know when you will be sending someone to come pick them up. I have attached a picture I took of my official bank statement so that you can see all the information you need for yourself.... (I attached this picture to the e-mail with the file name "official bank statemnet.jpg") OHHHH... SNAP! SCAMMER = PWN3D! Haha what do you think of that @SSHOLE? Everything look satisfactory? GREAT! Now please follow my directions: 1. Place each foot in bucket 2. Fill both buckets to the top with cement 3. Allow to dry 4. Jump off nearest bridge Regards, The one that OWNED you, B1TCH BAWLIN'! Lol I got a good laugh out of that. The nerve of some people. Get a damn job and work for your money like everyone else does! |

Gold Member Username: Alias747Eclipse Ti, MN Post Number: 1880 Registered: Apr-05 | He lives in Arizona or something, at least that's what the envelope said. And the check said a bank in Texas. He may not even be from this country for all I know. I am not too worried about it. I bet he gets similar responses from many other people. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1562 Registered: Jan-06 | I can answer that one...in the last part of the letter it says "I have instructed him to make sure that He send you the Draft via EMS for security reason " EMS is probably some kind of electronic money transfer and the "secretary" will ask for your account information, so he can put the money in the account... of course in reality, they will do the opposite and take money out of the account |
