can't you scam him back by doing the empty envelope scam, where you send the item tracked but there is nothing inside. That way they think they succeeded but then realise when the package arrives.

They do the 'fake paypal' scam quite a bit still if they think they have a naive victim. They send a paypal email that can look quite convincing but explains that due to the nature of the transaction paypal will act as an escrow service and retain payment until tracking details are submitted. The victim is urged to ship the goods and enter the tracking details to release the funds.

Yeah that was my point (c) earlier.

I guess it only takes someone like staffie there to get lured into the 'how can i lose' mentality, then reel the victim in from there.

when ive ever had anything for sale online and ive had the emails from them , i always reply for them to pay me with western union , never hear from them again. scammers only like to be payed that way never the other way round.
