Dude....stop wasting yours... .............Joey

What if it's not? What signs do you have? I ask because I have made large transactions with paypal. What else of the story can you tell us.

Can you elaborate on the reverse-scam?

Doesn't matter. Even if you think you are getting them to waste their money on overnighting you a fake check or sending you Paypal, they are just using stolen credit card numbers. So it doesn't matter to them.

They use stolen cards and accounts, they don't use their own money. So you'd be taking an innocent persons money. Now you're the scammer. Not cool.

That just send me a fake email Pay Pal thing saying the person sent me money hoping I will mail them money to pay for shipping,when I log into Pay Pal account nothing is there,I then tell them hey that was a fake email.

I always go with getting them to send a fake check to one of the cops in town. I use the real address of the police station and a real officers name. I realize it will never be investigated. But it amuses me.

Dam near pissed my self laughing! Thanks

THIS is a genius idea.

Those are some nice carvings!

I just stumbled upon this service recently:

http://www.jollyrogertelco.com/

Basically, when you get a scam/spam/telemarketer call, you can waste their time by texting that service, it will call you, and you can conference the two calls. Then an automated response system will converse with the nuisance caller and waste their time.

It doesn't work with all service providers, unfortunately--not all of them can merge two incoming calls. It's still a neat idea if you are frustrated with nuisance calls.

You do realize the more you mess with these guys, the stronger and better they get at there scam? Just ignore them. I know it's hard to do. I'd love to reach through the phone or internet and strangle them.

So here is a add I put up on CL today

1974 Bally Knockout pinball machine. Game will reset and start up, but blew a fuse when ball hit a target or rollover. Have not trouble shot the issue. Has nice backglass, playfeild will clean up nicely. $450 this is a cash deal

Sorry Mr. scammer no checks no pay pal no money transfers, if you want you driver to pick it up have him bring 4 hundred dollar bills and a fifty dollar bill, or 22 twenty's and a ten.

So guess what the first text I get is? Mr Scammerely wanting to send me a check since he is out of state he is going to throw in $50 extra so I will hold it till the check clears and his shippers are going to pick it up.

I let him know I don't trust banks or the government and only take cash.

He tells me I should I should give it a try.

I then tell him he should get off the grid and only deal in cash the banks scam you by taking you're money and so on.

I now think I'm going to ask him to do a Wal-Mart to Walmart money transfer and I'll go get the cash then he can send his shippers.

Wonder what his response to that would be?
