Hi,

This is the second time I'm being approach. This time I spotted the guy very soon. Pisses me off. I wanted to do something, try to track them down. I know it's hard and no worth it. But doing my research found out this site. This is GREAT. I decide that I too would play.

I must share what I did today, found it very funny. Since they probably receive hundreds of emails per day, they cannot remember the conversation. Also they never really respond to any question you ask them. They always reply with what they want you to do next.

Yesterday I exchange quite a few emails. This morning I did reply but I erased the hole conversation and the title. I replied that I would prefer 10,000$ in cash, that was not the price we talked about yesterday, not at all.

They replied and said the usual: "Price is fair, to which email address can I send the Paypal payment". DUH! I said Cash and the price has increased don't you remember?

Then I replied asking him to do some work:

"before I go to the post office to send you your money, I need to prepare a contract

I will need your
full name
complete address
A copy of your Ontario drivers license

Department of transport is requesting us to do this legal contract before. I will fill in the contract and will send you a copy for you to sign.

Once it is signed, I will go get your money gram sent to the movers.

Hope you can do this quickly today. This is a pain but needs to be done Wink

"Wtf, I don't need to do that before the transaction will be completed."

well I did post the add with my usual email, so they have my usual email account. But for paypal account I created a fake email that I provided.

I am stopping things now with them. I don't want to go further with them.

But for future, what advice can you give?

I am sorry for shouting, but,

DO NOT BAIT FROM YOUR REAL LIFE DETAILS

Read the stickies and maybe get a mentor to help you bait safe

Aside from my email, I did not give any information, phone number nor address. Not that easy

gmail.com is very safe for emails

Ok, set up a shiny new Gmail with none of your RL info. The problem with baiting off your real account is there maybe some of your personal info attached-google it for instance.

There is no way a lad is going to bite on a demand to send cash. He's either phishing for your account info through Paypal or going to send a fake check. Either way, unless you give totally fake info, your real life info is exposed.

In Premium, we do off a drop box that you can have scammers send fake checks to. You'll be notified when it arrives and can tell the lad it was rejected by the bank!
