We did that this summer with the money order scam that was going around. Women would find unsuspecting lonely men on yahoo personals, or match.com, and then get them to cash money orders for them..saying that they dont have a bank in nigeria that will cash the US postal money orders or some such bull. We turned in over 2 grand of money orders, and tracked down two women to their home addresses, then let the Federal government take over from there. They were arrested and prosecuted in September of this year. That was a whole lot of fun, and I found out just how dumb my boyfriend at the time was,…he believed everything these women were telling him…it was so unreal. But I had so much fun messing with those women and catching them at their game..I would do it again in a heartbeat. Those kind of people deserve to get caught in their own game.

I was selling a car and posted it on the internet. I apparently got on a scammers list because I have been receiving emails from people wanting to purchase it. It goes like this: A person agrees to buy the car for my asking price of $3000.00. He will send me a check for $5500.00 and I am to cash it, keep the 3000 and western union the 2500 to his shipper. I recognize this as a scam but played along anyway. I have received about 6 checks from different scammers over the course of a year. When they want their money I tell them that I lost it gambling and they eventually figure they have been had. The latest one requested I send half the money to the shipper and the other half to him. So after I received the check I wrote back and told him that the shipper had requested all the money and that I western union ALL of it to him. I told him that followed through with his request. Now I am waiting for a response from him. He is going to be mad. By the way…. when you receive a check from people like this you can assume that it is fradulent. Do not put it in your bank. It will bounce. And especially don’t send them any money. Make excuses, waste their time, have fun at their expense.
