I just listed an item I have for sale locally, in the Want Ad Digest, it's a valley industries model 7054 16,000 lb fifth wheel, no frame attachment rails, just the fifth wheel, it's in like new condition, looks to have hardly any use, it's a $500 item new. First I'm wondering how they harvested my e-mail address, did not think it was available from the website listing but I can find out easily seeing the Want Ad is right across the street from me. It's really hilarious that they will try this on smaller, less expensive items such as this thing, below is what he responded with, and I'll be sure to eff with him until he goes away, also open to hear anyones ideas on how to really string him along, kinda like the ebola monkey man LOL !

What would a guy who allegedly lives in ohio want with an item like this that could be bought locally or online, 800 miles away, who runs a hotel restaurant, then uses the same scam they all use and think someone will believe it, and yet they still do it because someone will fall for it. These guys need double handectomies if you get my drift.

Message: Message to seller:my name is kelly parker from ohio i will love to know maybe you still have your item forsale and the present condition

The want ad warns me of the obvious at the bottom of the message:

Sellers: Beware of Cashier Check Fraud and Overseas Shipping Scams. Reduce the risk of fraud and use a reputable escrow service like www.escrow.com

I tell him it's still for sale would you like to buy it ?


He responds:

If I have the time I scam them back and pretend I am trying to complete the transaction on their terms. Telemarketers are fun to jack with too. I ussually listen all intentent like, then I ask them what they are wearing. It really freaks the men telemarketers out and some of the women you can even get to tell you what type and coler underware they have on. They will do anything if they belive you you are a sucker and may really wip out a credit card.

It is likely one of those African scam artists trying to rip you off.

Can you explain to me why you guys screw around with these people? His is a form letter-doesn't even discribe the item. If you get a ad or sale material in the mail, do you get all upset over where they got your address? Or write them back? Your used to throwing that junk in the trash. Just do the same with E-mail junk.

This is true, however I do think it's wonderful to know that they can be distracted, and or humiliated, they are some of the worst criminals on this planet.

Send him a phony name and the address and telephone number of your local FBI office.

FBI office!!! That is hilarious!!! That's were we all should be sending them. Could you imagine the ensuing conversation between Mr Fecal Orifice and Special Agent Jones? It would certainly be worth the price of admission.
