fun with dz classified scammers

Recommended Posts

I have some gear listed and I get a number of "send me the balance" if I send you a check. I decided to fight back, I agreed to sell the gear but needed the check fast. the person e mailed me me back saying he will next day air the check.
Check arrives following day. The check has no watermark on the back, was a poorly done. Took the check to the bank it was drawn on. they checked it and it was counterfeit. So i did nothing about it, 2 days later i get a email and he ask where is money is. i didn't reply. He calls me wanting his money. I told him i wanted a good check,

well I cost him $20 for next day air and cost him some time.

any other ideas?

Hell no, there are still a lot of people that cash it and send them the money as their refund. :S Even if they have 99 people mess with them all it would take is that 1 person to make it worth their time and make them a profit.

true, but people should be smarter than that now-a-days, especially if you use the inet quite often and are under 35 ;)



As it turns out, there is no way for the masses to learn about this kind of thing short of being screwed.

Have you ever heard of a high school class that tries to tell kids about scams like this, and most parents don't know enough to voice a warning about it.

People are inherently trusting of people that see to be in the know, and villains take advantage of that.

I received a bunch of scammer replies to my ad. Did my best to get some fake checks. Even received the same tracking # from three supposedly different people. I jacked up the "final price" on my "item", gave funny reasons of why I was selling it. At least I wasted some of their time while it was entertaining for me.
50 donations so far. Give it a try.
