And of course the responce (i love messing with these guys :-))

Hello,
First of all thank you for your interest in my boat.
Let me tell you that my boat is in excellent working condition, no scratches, no dents and it has clear title, manuals, and all the original documentation included, which will be delivered along with the boat.
The boat is still with the shipping company(kept in a storage facility) in the US and it's ready to be delivered. I decided to sell my boat for a personal reason which involves also the fact that I have to move out of the country.The price for the boat is $12000.
Mail me soon and let me know if you are interested,
Thank You!

I emailed him to get more info this what kind of scam he is trying to run
Hello,

The boat is kept in a storage facility in Fort Wayne, IN.I have paid all the taxes and the boat is ready to be delivered.
I have done some researching and the best way to close the deal is through eBay.
We will use eBay and you have to make the payment in a eBay trusted bank account.
The funds will be secured until the boat is delivered to you, with a proper executed title.
The boat will arrive within 7,8 days at your home address and you will have another 5 days inspection period.
The deposit is fully refundable so if the boat isn't as described or if you can find anything wrong with it (hidden defects, scratches, rust, oil leaks) then you will get your money back, no questions asked.
If you are ready to purchase my boat i need your full name and address to open the case.



Thanks Mark

There english is improving. Little bastards have been hard at work. Sounds pretty convincing except the price. Why do they always shoot their load with a price that is more than aggressive?

I decided mess with one of these scammers to see how far it would go, I gave him my work address, slightly phoney name etc. He sent me a check through DHL and was very percistant that I sent the remainder money through western union, I told him that the DHL envolope was empty and there was no check, so he assured me that he would send another one as long as I send the remainder money through western union, he ended up sending me 2 checks, both checks were from a radio staions address and a well know senators name on the check,funny thing is I took the check to the bank ( Wa Mu ) and they said it was a real check that was altered with phoney name and address, but the acct number was a real one that was closed a year before.I continued to mess with the scammer until he must have figured out that I was messing with him, I was out a trip to the bank, he was out to phoney checks and 2 shipments to me. He lost more money then me.. Screw scammers!

Andrew, me too.

I cant believe how detailed that guy got. I almost felt sorry for the scammer, because he was getting owned so bad and lost $80(which is probably a lot for him).
