[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2656783, member: 30309"] We need to figure out a way to have some fun with this guy - so, ideas? We gotta come up with something. I had a scammer on the hook about a year ago with the whole "I'll send you $1,000 for your $300 item, just send me back the balance" deal. Told him I would only do it if he fed-exed the check overnight. Next day, I tell him I didn't get it and that he needs to send it again and that I would only hold the item for one more day. Did this 5 times - got a check each time. If course, I verified with the bank that it was supposedly drawn on that it was a fake. They actually sent me prepaid envelopes to send them the checks that came through. fedex got paid each time for an overnight letter, he had to pay someone to make the checks (which actually looked pretty good, I must say) and I managed to keep him on the hook for an entire week. It was fun and felt good to turn the tables on a scammer (who was in Nigeria, BTW) In the end, this dude was so pissed off he started cussing me in his own language over E-mail. I about fell out my chair laughing so hard!! I have managed a couple of very good deals on Armslist, so don't totally knock it (it just has to be FTF or done with escrow as has been mentioned). Just be sure of what and who you are dealing with. I've sent a full ammo box of .308 ammo, a scope and several other items as far away as California with no issues whatsoever. I've also bought several firearms via armslist, but you have to know what you're looking at. I had a guy try and sell me a Mosin with a sewer for a bore for $400 saying it was a PU Sniper. None of the numbers matched, screws were wrong and it was a strike-through. He was pissed when I called him on it when we met. Turns out he didn't know what he had either so I spent some time educating him on what kind of Mosin he REALLY had and in the end he was fairly nice about things. I offered him a decent price for it, but he felt really bad and opted to just keep it. Turns out he'd paid way too much for it himself. [/QUOTE]
