    Help Me Out

    Ok, so I posted something for sale on Craigslist (Some rims and tires). I got this email from a gmail account which is obviously a fraud. I've had them send me the counterfeit check and all (which I have since thrown in the trash) and now they want me to send them some money via western union.

    What I would like to do is to fill their inboxes with emails. LOL a little punishment for the thieves. I have already put them on as many email lists as I can but it's gmail and they have pretty good filters.

    The two emails addresses are:
    agent2contact@gmail.com
    raph.smith007@gmail.com

    I haven't lost any money to them. In fact, I think they've lost money to me. Those UPS Express letters are like $25!!!

    Please send them a little email love.

    BTW I'm thinking about posting some other things on Craigslist just to see how many of those counterfeit checks I can get them to send me.
    Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
    Psalm 144:1

    That doesn't seem like a very bright thing to do.
    Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

    I doubt it's a serious email for them if they're using it for fraud purposes. They probably created it just for this so spamming it probably won't do much to make their lives miserable.:confused:
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine

    Dear Mr. Scammer

    I owe you a few apologies:

    I am sorry for responding and saying sure I am happy to engage in a bizarre business deal with you knowing full well it isn't real.

    I am sorry you wasted time to print a horrible fake check.

    I am sorry you spent $4.90 UPSing it to me overnight.

    I am sorry for taking a few days to get back to you after I got the check and ask you for your phone number which you can't give me. I knew that and still I emailed you for the phone number.

    I am sorry that I lied to you and said I could not find a western union office near me, making you look them up, emailing me a list and me telling you those two liquor stores are shut down.

    I am sorry that I lied to you about getting pissed at the western union office because they wanted $1.75 to cut a check and that I said that's robbery and left in a huff. The truth is I never went there in the first place. Sorry for wasting your time that day.

    I am sorry I lied the next day after you threaten to call the FBI and local police on me because I cashed your check and would not pay you. I knew you would not, but I wrote you an email begging you not to call the police and that I would pay you tomorrow after I cashed the check.

    I am sorry that I lied the next day and said the western union office girl was rude to me so I left in anger, again delaying your money by another day.

    Im sorry I lied about sending the money to western union in your name vs the shipper so you could not pick it up. I realize this cost you a day or so.

    I am really sorry that I lied and said that the money order was at your western union, but off by 1 zip code making you drive 30 minutes to find out I am a liar.

    Your last email to me was justified. Obviously from your language you were pissed. The fact that as you "YELLED? and your grasp of the English language seemed to fade away like my Mom's when she is livid showed me what a bad person I am.

    Your phone call from Africa was upsetting because as you were trying to explain to me how to go down to western union and pay the $1.75 and you would pick up the fee, I realized how frustrated you were getting. I also lied about being hard of hearing and asking you to yell. Sorry.

    All in all, I am sorry for sucking up your bandwidth. I realize that my actions probably sucked up 6-10 hours of your time and kept you from fleecing some gullible person in America.

    Please forgive me. Go ahead and send me another forged check and I will send you my cash to your shipper. Please try me again. Even though I lied you to about 15 times I won't do it again.

    Your friendly computer person.

    Are you talking about the worldwide well known guys from Nigeria and their Western Union payment tricks?

    There are two things I'm good in, the second is arresting people



    I'm looking for Drug/Narcotic Unit patches together with DUI/DWI unit patches for a frame in our Anti-Drug-Team bureau

    Also looking for Massachusetts Police and US Capitol City PD patches now!

    First - their lives won't be made difficult. It's obviously an email address they've set up just to do their nefarious deeds with.

    Second - I'm not going to use my personal email to send these turds anything. I don't want them having access to my email to start sending ME a bunch of crap in return.

    Lastly - You posted their email addresses in a public forum NOT even in the Restricted Area. If they start getting massive amounts of email all they have to do is Google their email addresses. Go ahead. Try Googling the emails you just posted. Guess what comes up. Yup. THIS thread which identifies you as a cop.

    Yeah, I think you're on your own.

    Hell no - 'turd' is right at the top of my list of words, alongside 'poser', 'douche', and 'shleprock'.

I am subjected to vehemetly noe that I am a goodish people and want you to be gratified that I knoe you have a good spirit. You are happy to be invted to me for a new and adventure! God will be pleased with our joining together for much appreciated business and fortune will bless you and your family! No work for you is required and blessings will come to both of us. Daughters of me will come to the America and need to have me place a cheque to them by you to introduce to your bank for the purpose of giving cash. I will be pleased to send from me a check from an employer in the America that you must introduce to our bank for the purpose of getting cash for my sun. HAppiness will become when you obtain the wonderful cash from your bank and deliver it tyo a Western Union in any location that God may make you happy to go to......Blah Blah..........Yep, I did it too!

    Which is why I never use Craig's List for anything. I either use E-Bay or put an ad in the newspaper. I've talked to half a dozen people that I know that have been screwed by someone on Craig's List and I'm not talking about their erotic personal ads either.
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
