Oh boy,  you have that great item  that you know is going to sell and bring in the money for the necessities of life, prescriptions, food, gas.

Along comes Mr 419 Nigerian scammer and goes for your BIN (buy it now) Wow! it sold I am so excited! Pretty soon an email arrives, I am sending you a cashiers  check. "Okay, just do it,  right?"

 No, you start receiving emails the check is in the mail, and another thing when you cash the check, withing 24 hours send me half of the check amount back, by wire and I will have shipper contact you. What? Then a few days later a check arrives in the mail for double the amount. I ask  the bank manager "is this a good check?" We call the 800 number it's good , we then deposit the check, and wait, and wait, not touching the funds.

Meanwhile emails keep coming, "Where is my money?" "Are you trying to steal my money?" "Do as I told you" "I will come to your house and use force with you"  Nice emails, what crooked criminals.

 What he doesn't know is since receiving his check I have been in touch with ebay and the FBI a private investigator, the bank, internet police both Yahoo and Gmail and I keep him at bay telling him I am waiting for the check to clear. The emails get meaner but the involved bank in London tells me these guys don't hurt you they just threaten you. Low and behold by day 10 my account is empty of the so called customer's money.Good thing I kept copies of all correspondence and checks envelopes, everything! So helpful.

So, day ten I send an email " buddy your check is no good"  "Would you like to send another one?" At this point I am ready with the FBI's address. The emails keep coming, "You are dishonest, you lie , you are the criminal you steal my money" all in upper case  letters with tons of exclamation marks.(his fake name Eric Moore)

At this point I advise him to go buy some adult diapers,  I forward over to him all my correspondence with the bank, ebay, internet police, international internet police etc.

The diapers I explain to him are for when the police in London (oh yeah I reported him to the local police) come knocking on his door, because he is going to soil his pants, from the fright, and I am being generous in giving him  this helpful tip.

 I explain to him that I know he is contacting me through an internet cafe, and that the bank has him on video tape,

they have somebody watching him and they know where he lives, where he eats, and that the internet police have followed his ping, so they can even tell what computer in what internet cafe he is on., and I advise him to watch behind his shoulder for any police.

At this point I  start receiving emails telling me to never email him again, and he cancels his account. Well I have his other email were he pretended to be a woman buying the item to begin with  (Mandy Wolfgang). So I write him one last email he responds with filthy language, so I wrote back and said "not only are you a criminal but you also have a potty mouth". Haven't heard from him again 

I am just wondering if he still wants his money? Because, I have a bunch of Monopoly money I can send him. Oh and if he wants his purchase I can always mail him some broken item I have laying around the house. LOL!

But seriously, the guy ruined my auction. Oh well that's what relisting is for.
