I've been visiting this site for a while and I am a great supporter, however I never intended to become a baiter myself as I felt I just didn't have the skills to sucessfully reel-in a scammer.

I've recently been selling some of my old unwanted stuff on eBay and came across a suspicious request from a supposed US gent who was 'desperate' to get hold of a mobile phone and for me to sent it to his wife who happens to live in Nigeria. I didn't really care where I was to sent it as long as I got paid so I created a new email address with false details just to see what would happen. I immediately received a very good clone of a paypal payment form saying I am clear to send the item and the funds will be transferred at a later date. Hmmmm! Smile

Unfortunately, at present, I don't want to get involved in the baiting art form and I don't really have the time to dedicate to it anyway. The reason for my post is to see if anyone would like to take over the scam and give this guy a real headache!

If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll give you the spoof email account details and the story so far...

AHhhahaa ohhh that made my day.

I'll take it if no one else has yet. Sounds fun and I'm down a scammer or two. PM me the details if no one's taken it yet. Smile
