I have been selling on eBay for many years and deal with all kinds of scams. I like to have fun with them. Really is there anything wrong with it? I figure if I and everyone else can waste their time maybe they will stop. I also broke the death threat email. Please see http://www.fantasyboxingleague.com and youll see the emails to and from the scammer and I. Id like to help out anyway I can. to the admin who emailed me you can also call me. respond to the emails youve already sent and maybe we can talk about breaking some of these scams? I can also link this site on my site.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from all the members.

Welcome imderrickjed

Looking at your screen name, it was me that sent you the warning about you possibly receiving a fake check. Thank you for replying, but I never give my phone number out on a first date :)

I have looked at your site and can see that you like to have fun at the scammers expense, as Jillian has already said if you hop along and sign up at the forums at our sister site (419eater) http://forum.419eater.com/forum/ you will find a quite friendly bunch of like minded people as yourself and pick up some great hints and tips that will enhance your "scam baiting"

As far as this site is concerned, please feel free to post wherever you think you have something helpful to say, or have any constructive comments.

Posting any Advance Fee Fraud related e-mails that you receive on this site is very helpful. SearchBot Spiders soon pick them up and make the details available to potential victims searching for the scammers details.

I seem to remember that you were targeted by a craigslist (on-line classified ad) type scammer. The best time to post their e-mail is when they start to write about paying by check, and mentioning payment to their shipper.

Nice one! I love baiting hitlads.
Three other examples of the genre have been posted at www.scamorama.com since July.
If you want another go at him, set up an account with fake details at any free webmail service, and "reply" from it. Scammers rarely notice that they never emailed you in the first place.
