guy was kind of an idiot
when i realized he was a scammer i decided to try and fuck with him
Good on ya for knowing it was a scam.
I almost got taken in by a guy using almost the exact same wording (maybe even the same guy??) about 8 years ago when I was trying to sell some of my old guitars and amps.
Only caught it cause the bank teller warned me about it when I was going to get the certified cheque
...
Thanks man - I had to google some of the stuff he was saying to make sure. But yeah totally fucked.
Try any pity him into not going through with it.. See if he has a hearth
last post
you probably already know this by now OP but the guy would have sent you a fake certified cheque (still keep mine as a memento / reminder not to trust people online) for way more than the cost of your item, then ask you to deposit it and send the remainder back or use it to send to a shipping company to pay for the shipping.
He cancels the cheque, if it even was a real cheque, then you're out of pocket for the full amount.
Tell him you need the money for a sick child or whatever and you're already working 2 jobs to pay for the medication
yeah that's what i read. seems pretty fucked up thing to do for a little bit of money.
ok
Lotta scumbags out there my man.
When I almost got taken by it I was kinda desperate for cash which is why I was selling my old guitars. I think they're counting on people being desperate for cash so they overlook the red flags.
...
get his adres through the number and casually mention where he lives to freak him out
What's this funny pay-by-check thing you are talking about?
Something like that is still used in the USA?
It's used in Canada as well.

kek
roll for me to say shit
now he's giving me the jesus christ schtick. what a fuckface.
"yeah but its just so hard to come around for my daughter, sometimes i think shed be better of dead"
probably a fake. it's easy to get a number through google voice.
new update btw
wow winrar already.
also he added "Then you are to kindly help me send the rest to the courier service shipper department via Moneygram transfer ok"
I assume this is the part where the scam comes into play.
"Thanks. What's your name and address BTW. No importance, just asking"
ok will do that.
Tell him you'll have to send a certified check to them"
Quads! Winrar!
chek'd holy fuck
will do - even though that doesn't really make sense but ok
thank him for being kind to you, that the conversation with him has been the best part of your week
OP, how you liking iOS 10?
...
im just trying to get his info.
loving it baby. just got the 7 regular. i'm digging it.
"FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ"
But why? Normal people have bank accounts or paypal or pay cash..
Sure, but for some things like a first/last deposit at an apartment the landlord often requests it in the form of a certified cheque.
how else would scammers be able to rip people off? come on man
OP here - what's amazing is that after I say I work in fraud investigation he still goes for it.
People that earn a living by preying on people on craigslist probably aren't the most brilliant folk in the world.
say my name
If dubs, Send this pic op. Say "does my undercover uniform look good?"
Don't America and Canada have online banking or something? I haven't used a cheque in my entire life, only remember my parents doing it.
Sure of course we do.
I agree I use cheques very infrequently.
But as I mentioned, for things like rent often post-dated bank cheques are used, and certified cheques for first / last deposits.
Any reply?
Is there any purpose for this other than to make fraud easier? It's very 1970s.
i'll do it just for the lelz
no not yet
Need some more shit to tell him. How else can you fuck with him? Get a reply pic of himself.
...
Holy shit. Idc if nobody else thinks it's funny but I'm laughing my fuckin ass off at work. Good fucking work
kek'd
me too mate me too
Pls respond
How about automatic monthly payment for rent?
"Got a guy bringin me cash and then some. Send me money via PayPal"
He finally caught on by now. It took a little while.
I tried this. Didn't work unfortunately.
Send this then say "oops. My bad. Ignore pls"
Good job OP.

Fuck. Abandon thread?

Holy shit kek
>pls respond
fucking kek
holy fuck lol
You guys have been great. Here's a pic I wasn't supposed to share.
I don't get how this scam works. You deposit the check and it doesn't go through, wtf so you don't send the item
holy fuck i did finally get a response
wat do?
dubs gets it bb
Shit son. Tell him only if he sends you a pic with a shoe on his head or timestamp.
What is that ridiculous bedazzling on her phone?
Just that makes this technically retard porn
Fuck idk. It was sent to me by accident by her bf
More please
Re roll
is this nigger for real?
confused, is he sending the money to the shipper or are you? The extra $30 is for your sick daughter... I know the scam is typically they over pay and then cancel the cheque but is that what is happening here?
This nigger is so for real
Lmao
I don't fully understand tbh. It's a stupid scam. I'm supposed to send money with the promise that his check will clear and it wont basically.
All I got of her. Take this one. From a golf tourney with strippers
If dubs then this
Checked and keked
so just ask him... clarify. "Hey, so you are mailing me a cheque for the TV amount and $30 for my daughters medicine. Then you are moneygramming money to the courier? or am I sending money to the courier and you are including that in the cheque? BTW, a regular cheque or a draft/certified?"
hmmm, don't wreck this for OP.
>hey
fucking kek
Bump with old lady tits. Keep it goin op. Need updates from this nigger
Op here. i wish i had some. he hasn't said anything for a long while now again.
You forgot somthing
Forgot the bump picture
This is so fuckin funny keep it going
My bad. Forgot them.
cause the other texter threw him off.
probably
Too busy scamming other hard working people
fucking gold
These fuckers are everywhere on Craigslist. I think they have scripts that automatically send the messages. I usually send them a dick pick and say "how much would you pay for this?"
The check is for more than the payment, they request you give them the difference and then cancel the check, or its just a bad check to begin with. Either way you're the one on the hook for the money you gave them.
Checked!!
I'm assuming you've heard of 419eater or whatever webpage it is now
You ruined it, faggot
Shit. You beat me to it.
Well played though.
Op told people to blow his phone up. That user just did what he was told. Chill the fuck out faggot
holy kek
That doesn't change the fact that faggot blew it, faggot2.
Nigger
Doesn't change the fact that you can't be mad at him. Fucking nigger
I'm not mad. Was just establishing the facts. Faggot1 ruined it and you're his bitch.
nothing to say about you, buddy
