You Can't Con A Conman

It is amazing what these freaks try to do. I held a thirty minute instant message conversation with a guy trying to scam me. Read how I make this the dream scam for the guy.

stevencolewonder1
BUZZ!!!

hello
u there?
jeff_way
yes
stevencolewonder1
this is steven from ebay
i will like to purchase ur item
jeff_way
which one?
BUZZ!!!
stevencolewonder1
the xbox
jeff_way
sure
stevencolewonder1
do u have it for sale?
jeff_way
yes
stevencolewonder1
okay
how much do u wanna sell it for?
jeff_way
depends on what the final bid is
are you wanting to buy it now?
stevencolewonder1
yea i wanna make an offer
can i?
jeff_way
sure
what is your offer?
stevencolewonder1
okay
let me offer u $430?
jeff_way
How are you wanting to pay for the item?
stevencolewonder1
okay
am gonna pay u through an echeck that will be sent to ur email address as an attachment and then u will print it out on a business versa check paper then take it to the bank for instant cash
jeff_way
I've never heard of anything like that
I would prefer a cashier's check or through Paypal
stevencolewonder1
lol
u will get ur money before shipping out the item okay?
through that way
jeff_way
Well...I think it is going to end up going for more than $430
It would take $460 right now for me to end the auction
stevencolewonder1
okay
lets make it for 470$ okay?
jeff_way
ok
stevencolewonder1
yea
so do u accept my mode of payment?
jeff_way
I don't have check paper to print it onto
stevencolewonder1
u can get it from the nearest office depot or staples near u okay?
do u have those stores near u?
jeff_way
I suppose so. Why don't you just mail a check?
Make it $460 and overnight a check
When it posts to my account, I'll mail it out
stevencolewonder1
ohhh
u wont understand because i dont wanna stress u so much
thats why i want the check to be printed okay
jeff_way
Really?
I'm a pretty smart guy
stevencolewonder1
lets do it that way okay?
jeff_way
sure
stevencolewonder1
okay
hold on pls?
okay
can u go and get the check paper now?
jeff_way
Why do you care when I get it?
stevencolewonder1
bcoz i want the item shipped tommorow after u have gotten ur money tommorow as well
jeff_way
ok
deal
stevencolewonder1
yea deal
so can u get it now?
jeff_way
sure
stevencolewonder1
cool
and what is the name of ur bank?
jeff_way
Amsouth
stevencolewonder1
and i will also like to discuss the payment with my client now and i will get back to u now in some mins okay?
just hold on for a while
jeff_way
sure thing
stevencolewonder1
k
5 mins
I will like u to know that when discussing the payment with the client he told me that the amount which u wanna sell the item is a nice price but the fact is that, thet amount is too small for the company to issued out .The minimum amount that can be issued out is $4000 so here is the deal.
U will be sent the check of $4000 then u will have to cash the check tommorow and the transffer the rest to the shipping company through western union money transffer.
BUZZ!!!
The reason is that there are some outstanding dept that we are suppose to pay the shipping company before they can come and pick up the item at ur location, so u will have to send the rest balance to them after u have deducted 500$ then u will have to send the rest balance to them through western union money transffer tommorow.
Let me know if u will be able to do that coz the check has been saved and ready to be sent to u for immediate cash.
jeff_way
Sure that would be great
Gee Golly...You guys sure are nice for giving me such a nice price
I really appreciate your honest generosity
I'll mail the package out tomorrow
stevencolewonder1
thats cool
hold on for me to send u the check now okay?
add me okay
jeff_way
Okay...I'll go ahead and mail the package out before the check clears
I'll do it first thing in the morning so you get it ASAP
I know you're good for the money
stevencolewonder1
cool
add me to ur messanger okay
BUZZ!!!
BUZZ!!!
u still there?
jeff_way
Do you think that maybe I could have $520 instead of $500?
stevencolewonder1
u will get 500 and 20 but u will use 20 for the paper u gonna buy okay?
BUZZ!!!
jeff_way
Okay..fine
stevencolewonder1
so i need ur full name for the payment now okay?
jeff_way
Jeffrey Jordan
stevencolewonder1
okay
will u be able to send $3200 to my shipping company tommorow through western union?
jeff_way
Yes...I'll do it right when I wake up
And then I'll deposit the e-check
stevencolewonder1
okay
i will give u the name and address of where to send the money to after u get the check now okay?
jeff_way

Ahh! I've had a few of these discussions myself. -K

This provided some good entertainment for me this evening. You are really funny. I loved the "Maybe if I sell a bag or something like that" line. Hilarious.

Your Ex-girlfriend, g'l'17, left some nice positive feedback for you on eBay. I remember how much she loved Jim Carey movies! Glad to see you're both on good business terms even if you can't stand each other.

Who wrote that previous comment? Green lyric 17 is mom. I haven't talked that girl in a year and a half.

I know it's mom you fool! It was funny because in one of your ebay auctions, you cautioned bidders not to be concerned since you always used gl17's account and it was perfect, but that you broke up with her. And then you bid on your own item using gl17 and left positive feedback for yourself...

Wow...that is sick of him. If I were Steve Irwin's wife, I would beat him up a lot.
