Scamming the scammer!!!

I love messing with these guys,, this time I am going to see how far I can go!

HERE IS THE ORIGINAL EMAIL:

> intrest in this fine moto rocket.
P.S. I only deal in Cashier Checks

HE ACTUALLY WROTE BACK:

> Thanks for your response. Consider it gone as i have decided to buy it. I would arrange for payment immediately and my shipper will come for the pick up after payment.
>
>
> I will need these to arrange payment pick up.
> Name
> Address
> Telephone

SO HERE WE GO!!!

Thank you so much for buying my Hybrid moto rocket. I will consider it sold. Because of the high intrest in this fine piece of Eurojapish machinery, I have to consider this sale as top secret. I need to withold my name from you and instead will only be able to deal with you using secret code names. For the rest of our business transaction I will be known to you as Willy Fallforit. I will refer to you in our secret corrispondance as Dudly Doright.

Once we get our code names memorized I will then setup a secret location for the transfer of the Cashiers Check and the exchange of the top secret Prototype 08 Yamahondauki 500 Hybrid moto rocket between myself and your shipper.

sincerely,
Willy Fallforit

I will keep you up to date as the story develops.

Until you have 10k in BS money orders on your desk, you're a rookie

I never actually make it to the money order part. I try to get them to play along and I consider it a win if I can get them to email me a picture of themselves holding a dog or something. I guess I dont want them to actually have my address to mail me anything although some bogus money orders would make a fun collection!

HE RESPONDED PRETTY QUICKLY WITH THIS:

What name and where do i mail the payment to???

SO I GOT RIGHT BACK WITH:

Dear Dudly,
Not so fast. Like I said the sale of this one of a kind hybrid moto rocket needs to be top secret.
Theres much we need to learn about each other before I can trust you and your client with my invention. I dont even know where you live or what your favorite resteraunt or movie is. I like Sushi but the little fish eggs make my nose tickle.
You do realize that this is a hybrid, rocket powered, multi purpose machine right? Not for the faint of heart. The first time I rode it I think I saw Moses being chased by Egyptians running toward the Red Sea! Please reply and dont forget to use my code name!

Sincerely,
Willy Fallforit

There is a group of amateurs that try to outscam the Nigerean scammers. What they don't realize, though, is they're dealling with serious criminals here, not some guy in his basement trying to make a buck.

Indy, you are my new hero. I have a few pictures of Nigerian's wearing funny hats or holding a pet. Normally I toy with the guys that want me to open an offshore account with some sort of deposit so they can give me hundreds of thousands to launder. They seem to be dumber then the cashier check guys.

It's fun to play with scammers, There was a thread while back about a guy who went great lengths to mess with a scammer, sent a fake "apple" notebook (I think that is what it was )
