Skylark Posted October 15, 2018 Share Just got a Wa from him now too, it screamed scam even before true caller flagged it as fraudster. Like really now, what the eff is the logic in sending a WhatsApp to tell me to email you, that is like going ass backwards from ass backwards. That's the level of stupidity that gets you fired from government for Petes sake. Anyway, emailed him from one of my throw away addresses because you know, screwing with scammers is fun.Please send him on a wild goose chase once he has made "payment", send him to 2 different public places to collect the bike, making mistakes all the way and then after that is finished say that you have discovered the payment is fake and tell him to fk off. I'd be interested to see how he responds to some of his own time and money being wasted. Gen, MBMtbGirl, slickjay007 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dev null Posted November 4, 2018 Share Simple scripting with automation to start with. They poll the classified websites and search for keywords. Automate responses based on this criteria. Only when people start responding do they need to start interacting. It's a whole syndicate with a call centre sometimes. Not a single person. Their automated system sends the agents all the baits that got a response. Edited November 4, 2018 by Moridin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogrady Posted November 10, 2018 Share I like copy / pasting viruses from my infected items mail box and sending them back to people like this - quite gratifying.Also, whilst killing my time when I'm bored, I figure my keeping them busy is saving someone else from being scammed by them but that's just me Vetplant, MORNE and johannrissik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SindiM Posted November 26, 2018 Share I got suspicious after I received an email from Daniel Williams email address goodhearted002@gmail.com wanting to purchase my couch. He says that he is a a petroleum engineer currently on a rig offshore. He said he's buying it for his cousin as a suprise and that a pick up agent would collect the couch Then instructs me to open an account with Neteller and that he would tranfer the funds there. I got really suspicious. Thank you guys for reporting this as you have really helped me and confirmed my suspicions. Red Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
