I really appreciate your response to my email. I want you to consider
it sold, pls do withdraw the advert from CL to avoid disturbance,anyways I
don't have time to come over to take a look because of my
Business but you don't need to bother yourself with the shipment, I'll
take care of that by engaging the services of a mover, hence I'll be
sending a Certified check and it will be delivered to you via United Parcel
Service (UPS), so I'll need you to provide me with the following
information to facilitate the mailing of the check.

Full name on the check.
Full Physical address to post the check
City, State and Zip Code
Home & Cell Phone to contact you.

Note that the payment will be shipped to your address via UPS NEXT DAY
AIR SERVICE and I will like you to know that you will not be
responsible for shipping i will have my mover to come over as soon as
you have cashed the check*
N.B UPS does not deliver to a P.O box addresses.Thanks

I'm sure some people still do. When I sell stuff of Craigslist I even make the people come to my work because you never know how could be casing your place for an upcoming break-in.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I agree. It makes me nervous to know that Melissa is home alone when this stuff goes up for sale.

[Triple B!]

Give the guy a different address or something or make up some bogus story in response...
freaksfix had some guy try and hustle him awhile back. Freaks kept e-mailing the guy back and forth stringing him along instead. It sounds soooo funny the way he tells it to waste the solicitor's time instead of the other way around....

[LonesomeTriZ]

I remember that. That is what gave me the idea to mess with this guy.

[Macs]

I am a member of a scambaiters site and use to have alot of fun with it. But it is very time consuming. Now i get them to send the check, then tell them it was a fraud and i turned it over to the FBI. Then i take the checks and hang on my office wall for my hall of shame. I will take some pics sometimes.

[atctim]

Give him your name, but instead of using your address - use your local Police department's address!

[LonesomeTriZ]

Both of those are good ideas.

[rdlsz24]

I don't see how they fool anybody with that jacked up English.

[LonesomeTriZ]

Considering how some people type now-a-days...

[WLL]

I got the almost exact same e-mail from some scumbag on cl. I gave him the police Addy., and never responded again to the crack.

[LonesomeTriZ]

I like that idea. I sent the email to my wife asked her to send the local Police address.
