They are trying to scam me now.

what can we do to them? Can we send them a computer virus? I am waiting for a reply back from one of the 2 scam scums that replied to my Craigslist ad. All I want is my money in 5's and 10's.

Hi BaldmanLance
Welcome to Scamwarners

I fully understand your frustration but we can not and will not condone the sending of virus' to Scammers, some people have done this in the past and it only causes harm to Innocent third parties.

Scammers use computers in Internet cafes mostly, so when you infect a computer you will only be hurting the cafe owner who in most cases is innocent, further, scammers will send these same virus' to other people such as their victims or anybody who may have upset them, for instance, the people here at Scamwarners

There are other more effective ways and safer legal ways I will add, to slow down their ability to scam

well, I received an e-mail from [email protected],
How are you doing? Well, i just wanna know maybe you still got the
above item available for sale?

I responded and said yes. never heard back from him. then I got an e-mail from,
Hello Good day, do you still have the above item available for slae?

I said yes I do.

Hello, thanks for getting back to me well i got interest in purchasing
ya item but i'll like to issue out check to you as my mood of payment
for now so if you want me to purchase the item from ya you can get
back to me with information to write on the check like Name, Address,
Zip-code, state and ya contact cell # in case when my shipper'll be
coming for the pickup of the item in ya location......Plz, get back to
me asap..Thank

I told him that I would hold onto the car until the check clears or he could write a friend a check and pay cash which I prefer. Then....

alrite i gonna wait for the check to clear b4 any further transaction
just get back to me with the information to write on the check..Thanks

I then told him that I would like to do the transaction in cash via 5's and 10's when the shipper arrives. I am now waiting for the reply. This is not my first time with a scam. I have dealt with them on puppy scams. which ended with them threatening to harm me. Which I told him to come and try it.

Thanks for posting the extra detail

I have been trying a couple of differnt seacrhes on the detail provided and so far not able to tell you to much. is that axactly how the emails came to you? wishful thinking that wasn't the case.

It's a cheque scam where you will be required to pay funds drawn on a fake check, the checks may well pass the provisional clearance after 5 days but just because you have access to the money doesn't mean they are good

Banks can take months to confirm a fake cheque and when they do they will be expecting you to repay every last cent plus some

Yes that is the exact wording I cut and pasted the e-mails I am thinking that the 2 know each other because I did not get a reply back from Vincent but Benson Collen was right after him. And they have the same spelling and word usage.

Yes, the auction scammers change their email addresses often but the script normally stays the same, it can be a dead giveaway in most cases, just not this time, mind you, it is late and I am struggling to keep my eyes open

Ask anything you want to know, somebody will always be close by here

Arizona, that is actually great advice, thank you,

I do wish you would NOT spam our site with your advertising though
