I have a set of props for sale here in the classifieds and I think this guy is interested. Here is the last email he sent. If I give him the info he is requesting is there anything that could get me into trouble?

Thanks
Don

If you have absolutely nothing better to do you can string these guys along and f$ck with them. I can be kind of entertaining. Total scam.

Definitely a scam. If you play him along, he will lose focus completely on the goods and it will all be about the check. He is already starting to reel you in with the 'limited time we have to conclude this'- his 'Accountact' will inadvertently cut the check for several thousand too much and you will be asked to reimburse him (less a little cut for your trouble).

Your bank will cash the check for you and two weeks later they will take that $$$ back out of your account when it is determined that the check is counterfeit.

I used to have an email set up just to ef with these guys. They wouldn't even notice that I responded from a different email.

It was great entertainment when work was slow. Great Ideas here...

I was the Honorable Reverend Rusty L. Shackelford when I replied, they ate it up.

There are the reliable clues in the message that tell you he's a scammer from the 3rd world. There must be a lot of people out there that fall for their scams, for them to still be trying to pull them in this manner.

I'd mess around with the guy, & send him all kinds of BS info.

The part that got me was he said that he would have someone come to my house to pick up the goods. He never asked where I lived...... Or where the props were located.
