Need A Room Scammer - [email protected]

I knew this person was a scammer from the beginning, but I decided to string them along in an effort to make as many of this person's tactics available to others as well as waste their time from focusing efforts on other potential victims. In addition, hopefully others who receive messages from this person will be able to find their way to this forum by doing a google search with the scammers email address in the same way I did when I first found this place and realized someone was trying to scam me for the first time.

My first reply

Are you real or just another international scammer? I apologize for the directness, but my last three inquiries have been from people with yahoo/rocketmail email addresses and are coming from another country looking to send a cashiers check that ends up having an over payment on it. Is this something you are planning to do?

This individual never responded back after my first reply. They abandon their efforts as soon as they realize you know what's going on.
