Welcome to ScamWarners Spiderella. Yes, just stop communicating with the scammer. He will move on. Scammers do their work by email. They do not go door to door trying to extract money from victims.

Ignore any further attempts to communicate with you. He will get tired of not getting any response from you and will move on. Please do post up any information which is not already posted on this scammer. If the email address is different or any additional information which will help others who might be wondering if they are dealing with a scammer like you did.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Hi,
Thanks for the response . I'm going on a vacation to London but I will instruct my assistant to prepare and mail your payment which I'm sure you will get in about 3 - 4 business days. I'll add $20 extra for the delay. I'll pay by M O or cashier check so send me your info (i.e full name, mailing address and your phone number) so payment can be mailed out immediately. I will also make arrangement for pick-up which will be after you must have received and cashed the payment. Awaiting your info.Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Expecting to hear from you soon.P.S Advise if there is any defect
John

No money changed hands...I responded like this, thanks to this site giving me the 4-1-1 (not kid friendly):

Go fuck yourself you piece of shit loser. Enjoy burning in hell and say hi to Saddam, Osama and Hitler for me. Scamming people out of money? I hope you get a flesh-eating staph infection on top of Leukemia mixed in with some Chlamydia. You have no soul and may you and your mother's grave be pissed on by all who walk over it.
