guy from Nigeria want to buy my Dell PC in NY city. how should I play him?

UPDATE:
I just got two emails from the scammer the first one is here:


this is the first one:
http://www.geniv.com/ebay/scammer1.gif
it's a screenshot from outlook.

notice a few thing about it:
1- The email is suppose to be from western union but if u look at the address its: [email protected]
and the site leads to a job seekersite that gives out free email...
2- Here's a sure sign it's a scam
"N.B
NOTE THAT THE MONEY ORDER WILL NOT GET TO YOUR RESIDENT UNTIL THE SHIPMENT TRACKING NUMBER IS SENT TO US FOR SHIPMENT VERIFICATION."


here's the second one:
============
Hello John,

I've just been informed by my Personal assistant Mr.Hans Urhausen who handled the payment on my behalf that your payment has been approved. Please remember to send the item to her as a gift via fedex so she can get it on time and send me the tracking number so I can tell her to expect it soonest.
Nice transacting with you. Hope to read from you soon.

===============


I'm gonna email this ash-hole back saying I'm bring it the fedex center tomorrow. hehe.
and later give him the paypal line..

Hope you people are enjoying this little episode so far.

rofl ...

if you make some extra dough in the process, double kudos to you :)

I had someone try to scam me outside of Ebay. He constantly e-mailed so I blocked his e-mail and reported him to Ebay. I just don't think it's worth it to put that much effort to get him back just think of what you could be doing that time.

heres my last response to the scammer:

-=========================
Hi, Lola.

Sorry for the delay. I was at the fedex office today. And the actual shipping is $45 more than I expected after they weighted the package. When I called fedex the other day, $90 was the estimate they gave me.

I'm sorry as I told you the shipping was only $90. It's my fault. I'm willing to pay most of the extra shipping charges as it is my error. I'll put the extra $25 out of my own pocket, if you're willing to pay an extra $20 for the shipping.

If you can please PayPal.com me the $20 balance. Just the other day I won an ebay auction on a handmade dog collar for my pooch. (It's really cute). Want to pay the guy for the collar as soon as I can but my papal account is empty and I don't want it to take money out of my credit card.

Possibily can you have your associate paypal me the $20 so I can purchase the dog collar and have your package shipped out tomorrow?

You can paypal me at: [email protected]

Hope to hear from you soon. As I'm eager to pay for the collar and have your package shipped out (It is at my office right now and only 2 blocks from the fedex office, and I really don't want to leave it there)

Btw: here's a picture of her right next to your box (I happen to take the picture a few days ago to show my sister.)

latest letter from scammer:

seems like he/she don't want to paypal.com me
=======================================
Hello,
How are you doing? thanks for your mail. my personal assistant coul not make the payment via paypal 'cos he's new to the system. I'd ordered him to make it as a supplement payment for the first payment he made toi you via western union money order and will get back to you as soon as He has that done. Please make sure you send my daughter the gift today and remember to send them (western union) a copy of the tracking number so they can send ytou your money order as soon as possible.
Hope to read from you soon.
Lola

========================================

I was bored at work and watching TV and suddenly I came out with

PLAN B! I will have the scumbag kiss/lick my a$s, my nuts, and my dogs a&s.

how would I go about that u say?

I will fedex him a small box with a "verification" letter. In the box will be a letter and an unsealed prepaid addressed envelope. The letter will read something like:

" This letter is to confirm that the address for the computer shipment is correct. please simply put this letter and "check Yes" to the address verification box in the prepaid envelope and mail it back. as soon as we receive your verification letter will release the fedex package"

assumming the scumbag will lick the envelope to seal it he will have fall for my gag as the envelope will be rubbed against my but t, my nuts, and my dogs but t.

only thing is now I have to find out how much to ship fedex to nigeria. and come up with some donation to pay for the shipping. (I don't think it's that much to ship a small light box to nigeria is it?) I really don't want to spend more than $1 on this scammer. so if anyone can make a $0.25 donation to help me offset the cost of the shipping. please do so, thanks (paypal it to: [email protected])
(Of course if I get more than I needed I will refund it to people)

if anyone can help me create a good "Verification Letter" with Fedex logo it.(Using msword format and looks legit) I would appreciated it.
you can email the document to: [email protected]

To be honest, I don't think it's worth the time and hassle, it's been done before and we've had a laugh at that, just ignore the guy.

John

you are truly a sick person....and I like that ;)

seriously though - this may be a good way to collect a DNA sample, for the FBI / SS though.

yes and while i enjoy the sickness of your humor.. i think you'd probably get up on terrorism charges (biological weapons) for sending an envelope that's been rubbed against your $ss and b$lls.. Just doesn't seem worth the trouble.

You should just send him a tracking number for something being sent to like california.. and laugh at his emails.

just my .02$

gk

HAHAHAHAHA

I honestly say it is not worth the effort, but I love the licking the envelope idea... I might give that a shot later with someone I dont like :D But damn... I am laughing real hard now...

But I have gotten those my husband is the king of (insert african city) and he needs your help and he will pay you $20 million in return.

Love those scam emails... I love the screenshot, Western Union is not a collection / verfication agency.. They do not handle cross transactions like that... Plus they have no way to validate other companys tracking info..

it didn't want to go through with the hassle of mailing a letter to nigeria.

I just taunghted the guy with fake fedex tracking and to see if he got the computer yet.

That doesn't help unless the DNA is on record, which it wouldn't be for a guy in Nigeria.


Sick, sick bastard though ;)

You could always tell him you need money to send the package..and it must be paid via Western Union money transfer (not money order)..they require cash/credit on the spot, and it's non-refundable once picked up.

:p
