LOL you should had told him to come on over with it.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

I responded " That sounds GREAT! get me pics ASAP and a price for the ski and trailer!"

LOL Im going to see how long I can keep this dingle berry going, it amuses me.

 

[vitaly]

After his reply ask him where you should wire the money, then tell him that you send it.

 

[orangefinger]

you should tell him you will wire him $ 500,000.00 and he has to send you the little fee back of $ 40,000 and he can keep the rest or so...you need to ensure his honesty and talso will need his full asdress name, phone number, soso or driverlicense sent to you and all bank accounts and goats...

because you are the long lost king of Jet Ski Nation and therefore have to prevent that your kingdom will be run over by swimming people or surfers...

It's probably from someone else he scammed.

 

[chrisdoc0608]

yea, he just sent the same info again then stated that he needed all of that info from me along with a transfer slip for the funds transfer.

so i told him he was a fool and obviously a scammer. I cant believe they try and pull that though.... are there really people that ignorant?

Sadly, there is. I know a friend of mine that got a phishing email from "Paypal". Like a n00b, he filled the whole thing out and sent it.

He received atleast 7 different notices from his bank that checks for $15,000 attempted to clear.

It took him several months to get it under control. He immediately closed his account and opened a new one.
