Can't you file a claim to the FTC website for scammers and frauds? I remember a little video showing us how to do it on Craig's List.

Thanks for the heads up.
Pretty typical scam these days. He sends out a million emails via a spam program and 10+ doofi (plural of doofus) reply. It only takes a few idiots to make it worth the scammer's while. I'm amazed how naive some people are. |

I also got something similar a few days ago. It was 3 emails for my most recent classifieds stating. The item you want is available. Contact me.

You are all very welcome!!!
Imho, this is not only about being naive. It is also about being inexperienced. This scammer responded promptly and he sounded very nice. God knows how many people logged in to their WU accounts  |

Thank you for the post Bob.
But once i hear Western Union, even if the deal super sweet, i walk away. Regardless of who offers it and what is being offered. Also, the sweeter the deal, the more cautious i get. That is just a rule of thumb. Where i come from, people have an old saying - "Free cheese is only in a mouse trap."

This got stickied???
 Hey, can we please get stickies for the ubiquitous Nigerian lottery email scams and confidence men trying to sell unsuspecting tourists the Brooklyn Bridge? How about a sticky about the hazards of running with scissors?  Maybe 10 or 15 years ago when the internet was relatively new, I could see how someone could get duped by one of these scamming jerks. But, unless one has been living in a cave five miles beneath the earth's surface, I don't see how it is possible to get taken by one of these scams. One would have to be pretty dim. This wasn't even a good scam, the email is vague referring to items and the wording is strange as if English isn't the email composer's first language. Quote:
