Sorry I forgot, NO PORSCHE CONTENT, NO PORSCHE CONTENT......

Ok, so I am selling my old BMW motorcycle on the net and I got an email in crappy english telling me that they were interested (warning). I respond and get another email in better emglish asking me details that were explicitly posted in the add (caution). I respond with the link and just received another emial telling me, "i have a reputable shipper that will take care of shipping from your end i want to let you know i have a client in the state that is oweing me a sum of 7,000 , i will instruct him to issue you a certified cashier's cheque on my behalf and as soon as cheque arrives, you hold out your amount and send the difference to my shipper for the pick up in your place, i hope i can trust you for my balance and also you will be contacting my shipper with all neccesary information needed for pick up in your place" pretty darn good english all of the sudden (danger). I started to write an email about how I cant do what she asked because I am a habitual criminal and would probably keep all of her money, but I wanted to do something better. I really want the "cashiers check" as a souvenier, but don't want to give up my address and contact info. Plus, I want to shine this person on.

Who wants to fuck with some low life internet scum!?

Use a P.O. Box as your address

or General Delivery to your Postal office....they will redirect it to you.

The FBI?

I would use a PO box and have them send you the check, then I would see if it goes through, since we know it wont, tell them never got it or tell them they arreested you when you went to cash it. Its hard to say, I cant believe people sometimes. Do people actually get away with this?

Had a client who just got burned like this. Knuckle head sent some very expensive Harley parts to Indonesia, and surprise surprise, after he shipped them, the "buyer" reversed the credit card payment. Comes to me and asks what I can do about it. It was all I could do not to say "well, since you are dumb enough to send stuff to Indonesia w/o verified funds, I think the only thing I can do is LMFAO!!!!".

No balls though, I didn't say it. Course he is a giant tattoo sporting Harley riding killer. But he likes me.

Ok, so here is the latest. I decided to get one of these checks for a training aid since I have and my woman still does work in the check cashing industry. I now have a chance at two because two different people have tried to scam me. Long story short here is the emial that I sent them:



I got a laugh out of it, maybe yall will too.

BWAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA, That was funny.

I might grow up some day, and harry nuts jokes won't make me laugh anymore, but I sure hope not.

Speaking of internet scams, it takes a while to read but it's well worth it:
