    I have an ad in Autotrader and eBay, and I have a scammer respond to it. This will be so much fun!

    Why don't the Nigeran scammers learn proper syntax so their scam letters aren't so easy to pick out?

    My personal scammer is Steve Dicko, he is in red, I'm in black:

    Name: steve dicko
    E-Mail Address: 1. [email protected]
    Comments: Pls am interested in the car i saw in the add iwant to know if the car is still available for sale at this moment don't hesitate to mail me back asap

    Unfortunately, I suffered a virus at age 2 that left me deaf, so you may call me only if you have a phone set up with a keyboard; most people prefer to use the e-mail instead. Please do not hold my disability against me.

    I look forward to hearing from you. I hope you do not think $17,200 is too much for this excellent car.
    I look forward to doing business with you.

    Why not have Jeff at Ferrari UK try and check out that address? Or maybe Paul P4Replica? He's in the UK also.

    Too bad that you've already given him a name and address. Otherwise, you could have given him the name of Chris Sawyerr and the address of whatever prison he is at now. Wouldn't that be a hoot? Turn a scammer onto another scammer already in jail!

    Michael,
    Thanks for your prompt response. Due to the pressure from our client
    that he will soon be going on vacation, he wants everything to be
    concluded before he leaves. However, he has informed me to let you know that a cashier check will be issued out for the order. Please get back to me if you will like ths idea because it seems that its the only way he can issue out the payment to you without delay,please update me as soon as possible with your last asking price and the pictures of the car,
    Steve





    Dear Steve,

    That sounds Great. I do like cashiers checks, especially when dealing over seas.

    The price is $17,200 US, but I will lower it by $100 for the reason I will get to in a minute.



    Steve, I must tell you one thing, so that I stay perfectly honest about this car. Last Sunday we decided to take the car to Church and my eldest son was in the back seat with an open Coca-Cola soft drink.

    His little sister was playing with his tackle and made him jizz all over the back seat.

    Immediately my wife cleaned it up as she has had much experience with fluids of that sort.

    Needless to say, the boy has been punished, and I am making the girl do special personal chores for me. I assure you that it was cleaned up well, and there is NO detectable smell. This is why I want to lower the price to $17,100 US to you.

    Steve, I know how this might worry you, with you being in England, but I assure you the car is in beautiful shape.

    Please tell me the next step so that I might get my Cashiers Check quickly.

    Devotedly, Michael

    P.S. here is a picture of the beautiful car:

    Watch.

    He'll want to send a check for over the asking price, asking me to send the difference to his "shipping company". takes a week for the US bank to find out his cashier's check is bogus, and in that time he has my real check for 2 or 3 thousand.

    Sadly, i have not heard from my scammer in 24 hours. Maybe the back seat jizzing was a little over the top.

    Just for the record. I live in Sheffield. It is approx 150 miles from London! There is no Brownson Avenue in London SE4.
    I am sure you are shocked by this revelation! ;)

    Michael,
    I have spoken to my customer and concluded arrangement
    on the payment.He has instructed me to inform you that
    payment will get to you in a cashier check of $24,000 which is a
    refund payment of a cancelled order earlier made by him.
    Due to company policy this check has to be made out in
    this amount to you ,because company policy only allows a refund
    payment on one cashier check,so you are required to deduct cost of
    the car $17,200 when payment gets to you and refund
    balance $[6,800] to my customer via western union money transfer/MoneyGram for
    him to be able to upset shipping charges.After payment has reached
    you and balance sent back to him,our agent will come pick up title
    and drive to a prepaid shipper to be shipped to my customer,while
    title papers and other necessary documets will be sent by you via
    fedex courier to my customer.
    Confirm this and provide name, address and phone
    number for check payment to be delivered to you via fedex courier.
    Thanks,
    Steve.



    Dear Steve,

    Thank you for getting back to me. I'm a little confused. I only want a Cashier's Check for $17,100 (remember I'm discounting the car $100 because my son jizzed on the back seat). I don't quite understand why you are sending a check for $24,000.

    If that's how you want to to do the deal, I have no real objection to sending you $6,900 (remember the jizzing) by Western Union, In fact to make the deal quicker, I'd be happy to send it the day I get the check for $24,000.

    If I'm to send the $6,900, Steve, I'm a little worried about this as, I, respectfully, don't know you, and Sheffield London is such a far place.
    Steve, I need to know FOR SURE that I'm dealing with an honest business man. I do not know you or what you look like. Steve, I need you to send me a picture of yourself so I will know it is indeed you I am dealing with.

    Steve, I need a large and clear picture of you. I need you to be holding a large sign that has the name of my hometown on it so I will know it is you. This is important to me, so I know who I am dealing with.

    Summary: A large and clear picture of you holding a large sign that has the name of my home town in large letters: WANKER


    If you send me this picture of you with the sign, I will feel much better about sending you the $6900 (including the jizz money).

    Here is a picture of me so you will know me as well.

    Thanks Steve, let me know soon!!!
