 :rofl; Love this! My son was selling his iPod on Craigslist and got many similar offers. Just give us your PayPal! We will throw in extra cash! Urgently need the iPod LOL!
He did end up selling it but it was through Amazon and he got his full price.

I remember a thread that Epoman started about a man who decided to scam a Nigerian scammer.  It was hilarious!!!  He told the man that he would have to join his religion and made up all kinds of crazy things the man would have to do.  There were even pictures.  I don't know if I could find it now.

Oh, we could have used this many years ago when we answered a Craigslist ad for a low-priced Lexus. Too low, obviously, because it became clear very quickly that it was a scam. He said he was in another country. (He said Wales, which was an unfortunate lie for him to tell us. I think we found out he was actually Romanian.) I'd give him a ranking between 'severe brain damage' and 'can you tie your own shoelaces'.  :rofl; :rofl;

Yeah Willis, Shiver Metimbers is IMO, the best. You need to have lots of time to waste reading the scams though.

BTW, have you tried googling "Willis giselle"?

I have downloaded some scams for translation by Amazon to my kindle.

Some can take the whole dialysis session to read, especially when I fall asleep 1/2 way through.

I adore 419eater.com!

Henry, the next time you have a large block of time on your hands, perhaps you could join their crusade. I suspect you'd be a welcome addition to the 'scam the scammers' world. :2thumbsup;

I'd love to give it a go, but I spend too much time on the computer as it is.
