"Am paying by Certified Cashier Check including the shipping cost to Indiana,so i need ur full name, address and cell phone number.I'll add $50 for holding it in my favor."

Stay safe people!

He's definitely a busy little beaver. I'm betting he thinking, law of averages, the more people he hits up, just one maybe gullible enough, and wallah "PAYDAY" We all know, there's been several who have fallen for this scam.

I'll not miss the BOI, but it has been a great tool in outing scammers, liars, and thieves.

I told him my uncle who works for the FBI would handle the transaction for me... for some reason he didn't get back to me.. LOL

I got a message from them today. I think I'll message them to pay by postal money order or paypal.

He's busy, busy, busy........Throw enough mud, some will stick.

I got this today...Hi,

Your payment has been sent but there is something i think i must bring to your notice. I just found out that my Assistant overpaid you. The payment meant for another item was made out in your name and sent to you.

However I want to believe I wont have a problem with you on this.Once you receive the payment, Please proceed to the bank and cash the payment,

deduct your money and I will let you know what to do with the balance. I hope I can fully trust you with this? I will await your response on this so my mind can be at ease.

Thanks.

I had someone try to pull something similar on me many years ago. What I did was to keep coming up with excuses about why the shipment didn't go out yesterday as plan. Dragged it on for a week or three. Then told him it had shipped! Then kept on coming up with confusion on why he hadn't received it yet. Then finally said I was going to send out another shipment, since the first one obviously was lost. And again, not understanding how the shipper could screw up a second shipment. And I didn't have a clue about why the tracking number wasn't working for him...

I hope it drove him crazy.
