I listed a coke maching on CL and of course get 20 emails from scammers...but one kept biting...and sent a check.
Of course the check is for $2490 and the coke machine was only $400 so he wants the rest sent to his "shipper". Im running out of things to do. He has $5.90 invested in sending me this check and printing it so he doesnt want to give up. I let it sit over the weekend and this morning he said i was trying to scam him and he was calling the FBI lol...what to do next?

Shipper have ready to come to your location anytime from now she informed me that the only thing holding her up is the shipping funds. so immediately you have the money send to shipper i will require the following information on the western union transfer receipt such as........

1: Sender's name and address used in sending the money

3: Actual amount sent.after western union charging
4: date and time you want shipper to come over for pick up

Note. email me your map quest for shipper to locate to place with the best time you want the shipper to come over for the pick up today cos i do still have some other items at another location with shipper need to pick up for me that is why you need to send all the rest of the money to my shipper for shipper to proceed on is work immediately **Please note that youwill be paying whatever the western union charges to send the money from the excess fund before sending the rest to shipper thanks for your understanding hope to hear back from you soon.

If this guy has your RL mailing address (and it sounds like he does if he mailed you a check), then it might be best to drop him and turn the check in to the authorities.

So ideas? The check was pretty good. Written on a business in Georgia. Called them and they have had several calls about it. They have no clue where they got their info. Their business name and info is right..and it has their bank info just wrong account number.

Why not send him an email form Robert Mueller, himself? Used in a lot of scams these days. Bob Mueller seems to be personally involving himself in FBI stuff these days Wink

I get at least 3 or 4 emails per week from Robert Mueller (head of FBI) warning me about dealing with scammers who are only after my money and if I don't stop he'll send the G Men round my house to arrest me. Shocked

However, if I send him some money via Monkeygram or Western Onion, he'll personally tell his men to leave me alone (all whilst asking my real address, and could I just send him a photo so his men knows it's really me) Laughing

Just e-mail him back and tell him that the bank rejected his check and there is nothing you can do. The money hasn't been cashed and for him to take it up with his bank.
He's unlikely to do anything but whine.
Then e-mail him from a baiter email address of your choosing,

The others here are right, teamneon - if you're engaging sleazebags from any account that can be linked to the real you, stopping would be a good idea. Instead, bait scammers from the comfort of an entirely fabricated persona - in general, if it's not a complete and utter lie, don't give it to a scammer.

@teamneon When we post fake checks it is customary to mark them FAKE before posting and limit to 600 pixels. You can use your paint program,etc. to do that. This thread explains. http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100200

This is a fake check for sure and if you deposited you would have problem ultimately with your bank and possible LE.

Also you have a PM
