Gotta love the scam artists in classifieds section

Recommended Posts

Here is the email I received from a scam artist and my reply. At least he'll be out the postage and time to send me the bogus money order.

His two emails:

i just saw ur advert of EXTreme-FX84 on the web and i want to buy it for $400 also i will be responsible for the shipment and pick up of the EXTreme-FX84 to my destination.
Please get back to me as soon as possible if my offer is okay for you .
Vickie.

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me, i am in the U K presently but there won't be any problems about the shipment,after payment ,the pick up will be made at your place. i have made arrangements with the prepaid shipping company already.
As for payment,this is what i am going to do. I have a customer in the US who is owing me $1,500 so what i would do now is, i will instruct him to make out a payment( Check or Money Order ) to you in that amount and as soon as you get it cashed. you will deduct your money from it and hold on to the remaining balance till i come back to the US in some weeks time ,as i will be using part of the money to pay for the shipping and other expenses. Although i know the value of the payment is more than the price you asked for but i think i should be able to trust you with my remaining balance and the item pending my return to the US.
So please if my conditions are okay with you,i would need your Full Name,Address,City,State,Zip Cone and Cell Phone Number so that i can tell my customer to get the payment sent out to you as soon as possible.
Pls get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that we can seal the deal in a timely manner.
Best Regard

My reply:

I am so happy you want to buy this skydriving parachute. I really need to sell it because I am having an operation for my lung cancer and must pay the doctors so I can get treatment for my terminal sickness. Without the surgery I may die real soon. My prayers have been answered with you buying my EXTreme-SLX skydriving main parachutero canopy right now. God is so good to us when we pray to him and try and be godly people. You seem like a godly person Victoria Atkinson. Alah Akbar Derka Derka.

As long as you can trust me with the extra amount then we can do it that way. I trust that you are a good person and trustworthy as well. You seem a likable person. I will just deduct the paymant for the EXTreme-LVX skydriving main parachute canopy and put the remainder of $1000 dolleros in a money order to hold for you until you return to the United States. Maybe we can get together and have a cup of coffee and some tobacco when you arrive back here in the USofA.

Please send the money order to:

Freefly Goat
xxxx San Lorenzo
Dallas TX 75228

My cell phone# is xxxxxxxxxx if you want to contact me via phone.

Warmest Regarderos mi Amigo,

Freefly Goat

P.S. Have a safe trip back to the United States of America. Where do you live here in the USA? I hear Toledo Ohio is nice this time of year!!!!

Just thought i'd update on me stringing this idiot scammer along. Here's the next email exchage. But before that I would like to thank the 5 recent people I did business with on the classifieds that were legit, as I now have enough money to get my harness replaced :-)

Hi Vickie,

Are you back from the United Kingdom yet, have you imported yourself back to the United States Of America? I have been traveling across the United States Of America on my moped and would like to meet up with you and have a sit down. We can sip on pennyroyal tea, chew on tobacco, and talk about parachute diving from aerogliders.

Dude, I hope your lung cancers gets better soonest! :) :D

Very inventive! I usually get them to the point where they ask for my address and I tell them to use my work address, and i put the US Courthouse address - Internet Fraud Division. Somehow I don't hear from them again.

Fortunately, I'm adhering to a pretty strict, uh, drug, uh, regimen to keep my mind, you know, uh, limber.
