Hi,
How are you doing today and why do you want me to sue you and all your family for taken my money and I promise you that you will die in jail by the time i start dealing with you and your family if you continue to delay the shipment of the item because i have paid for the item and your money has been deducted from my account immediately payment was made for the item and i want you to proceed with the shipment of the item now because my lawyer and consultant has been involved in this transaction and they are ready to do and undo in other to send you to jail because i want to teach you a lesson you will never forget in your life

That is the longest sentence I have ever seen written by a Nigerian fraudster.

Or you could always do what I did in this situation.....

I picked up a few bits of dog sh*t from my back garden, put them into an envelope and sent it to the scammer's address in Nigeria by the requested internationally signed for, and emailed him the tracking number as requested.

Surprise surprise as soon as I sent over the tracking number, all contact with him stopped. But I sat back quite happy, knowing that in a few days time they would receive my "parcel".

Search P-P-Powerbook on google if you want a laugh at someone whom scammed a scammer.

Ewwww! Couple of things to bear in mind - 1) that was paid for on a stolen credit card, so an innocent third party bore the cost (or all credit card users did, if it was charged back) and 2) a variant of this scam involves overpayment, where the victim is expected to post the goods to one address (usually in the same country) and send the overpayment balance by Western Onion to another party. The package either goes to an mule or innocent third party again (most mules are romance scam victims themselves, not profiting), and a WU payment can be collected anywhere worldwide, and indeed 85% of the time, Nigeria.

But - I do like your style! Have you ever thought of scambaiting over at 419eater.com? You'll get heaps of new ideas, read the forums, you'll laugh your socks off.

I used to do scam baiting where I would play along with the scam to waste their time. One scammer wanted me to get a plane over to Holland to meet them, no idea what their plan was when I got there.
