I listed a four wheeler that is worth probably $500, mainly just for parts. It doesnt run. This scammer contacted me about it with the usual bad english asking for a pic of it, I sent a pic of a truck. He seems to like it. Here are the rest of the emails after the truck pic.

What should I tell him from here, I think I will provide an address to the FBI and see if he sends them a fake check.LOL

Just take the check to your local popo office.... My Dad did the same thing,, I wonder how many people get screwed by this type of scam...

 

i am in the natural stone industry. they are hitting us hard too. they want to buy XX amount of black granite and shipped in a container blah blah, please give full name, i'll pay you check right away. theyre so f'ing retarded.

 

LMAO, post a pic of the truck you replied with!

 

Here it is, looks like a 2004 Honda Recon to me.LOL

 

Man, this is GREAT!!!

 

Heres what I sent him for an address to send the money, FBI office in New Orleans.

Ok, here is the address where you can send the check to. Dont try to send me less, I want $9000 for it. When will you contact me on when you are getting it picked up. Thanks for doing business with me. I dont currently have a phone number.Sorry.
