Scam

[brigus]

Someone from Craigslist is in the process of trying to scam me. Of course I recognized this, but I have been leading him on to see what I can do, if anything. I have reported him to the IC3, but I'm pretty sure nothing will come of that. Still, does anyone have any ideas on ways to bust this asshat? It's the fake-money-order-for-too-much-money

"We have the information you're looking for! To find out all the details about how to put this scam artist in jail where he belongs, please send $19.95 to P.O. Box..." *chuckles*

just take up as much of his time as possible. That is thje only way to hurt them.

Given many of their ilk are in Nigeria, there's not a great deal one can realistically do - however, you can make things quite entertaining. My favorite example of how to string along a scammer remains the tale of John Boko. ^_^

I wish I could think of something, but it seems that wasting their time is really about all I can come up with.
