hi guys I've got a scammer in the uk I'm winding up at the moment, I sold him a laptop I had for sale in a local paper,
he has sent me a paypal payment with an address but is there a way I can send him an empty box and get him to pay for postage at his end?? |

Hi and welcome back. Apart for the fact that we do not condone freight baiting here, where you send junk and have scammer pay for it (an empty box would cost the scammer very little), there are other problems.
As I assume you want to sell your computer I also assume that you use your own name. And that is a big no no in baiting. Never use your own name as this is reckless and potentially dangerous. They are after all criminals. |

I have sold the computer now, nope never used my own name I never do when selling as so used to scammers when selling in local papers, I just wanted to send him a brick or two in a parcel so they get something happen to them, I feel they deserve anything that happens to them after all they are trying to rip me off and they have probably ripped off many a nice old lady. |

It is not only yourself you endanger but not playing safe. As mentioned earlier NO pissed off criminal is going to knock on your door with his complaints. They will try to stab you in the back when you least expect it. That includes attacking your family.
Drop the macho attitude and play safely. A small smart guy can easily take out the biggest dumb fool. |

god has it been that long since I've been on here lol
its nice of you to think of me guys but I've dealt with by far worse then some dirty little spammer.
it dangerous just walking out the door where I live and you wouldn't do it at night unless you know the area lol
anyways I cant be bothered to search round about how to post him a brick so prob wont do it, I've been messing him about for bout a month now so will leave him be now as got better things to do.
I do this cuz I hate people that rip off vulnerable people |
