So the scammer emailed me and asked me if I've gone to Western Union to change the receiver name, address to their "Nigeria Shipping Department Address"

Therefore, to satisfy his needs for running to the bank and waiting in the line for an hour, I photoshopped another Western Union receipt.

Here's the email I sent to him:
=====================================

Hi,

Here's the new Western Union Receipt, it's corrected to your Nigeria Shipping Department Address.
Please remember to email me the Fedex tracking number when my phones are shipped, thanks!

Thanks!

Regards,
Sum-Ding Wong




=====================================

Let's see what he's gonna say when he come back from the bank empty handed again...

So how many more trips to the bank will it take him to realise there is never going to be any money for him (well, mabey apart from one single penny )

Anyway, I really don't think there is a better way to fight back against the scammers who think they can steal money this easily

True... Scam the scammers.... Make them bleed a bit...
Don't they start to wonder at his bank when he's asking for money every other day?

mikaljan You are my new hero!! absolutely love this thread!

is there anyway you could get this little bugger to part with some his 'hard earned' beer tokens?
By saying something like for WU to release the money his end he needs to pay an admin charge for switching the money releasing branch from Greece to Nigeria? (or something along those lines)

Keep up the great work

Ok, guys i'll be away for two days, so there won't be any updates until i get back. But i did get a reply from the scammer,
He went to the bank again and still left empty handed. I replied him that i will contact western union and see what the problem is. In the meantime i will try to think of something new to troll him with

i wouldnt think a scammer would go up to WU or the police tagging along that photoshopped receipt and tell them he was hoaxed... *lol*


i doubt that..... whats worse i see in this scenario... is that this scammer will turn out to be a legit seller..... imagine that....


*lol*
