Has anyone heard of these scammers?

Russell Lee (he sent me a fraudulent check from the UK and I'm trying to trick him to giving me a bank account number with no luck),

Tony Littleton (he sent me a fraudulent check from NY - I tricked him to a suntrust account number which alan got suntrust to flag,I called suntrust today and they confirmed it, read my posts. Tony littleton is now asking all the baiter names and emails I use to call him. Maybe he caught on but I can't be sure! What do you think? Has anyone heard of any of these names? See my work with Russell below! It's not heard to get these scammers to allow you to bait them. It wasn't very hard to get Tony Littleton to give me his bank account information. He hasn't given me a second one yet. Anyone want to try to help? That would be great. Just ask Russell Lee and other mystery shopper scammers if you can be on their team and they will let you!
