Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Common Interests Stupid scam emails. Help me mess with this guy.

So I have my car for sale. I get one of those emails from someone asking what the condition is of the car and what my asking price is. I email the guy back and tell him that it is an in person deal only with a cashiers check or money order. He writes back with this.

This guy is wasting my time and trying to rip people off. Any Ideas how I can mess with him.

set up a pickup at a different home address (not your house, because they will come and steal your car). when the guy comes to pick it up you can take his check and leave. He would be stupid to call the cops, and you would have wasted his time. You could beat him up, but that is up to you.

Maybe you could setup a sting! I'll call the A-Team and you get on the Jesus Hotline. We'll bag ourselves a bad ass mutha in no time!
