If they send out 10,000 of the them, and only receive 20 percent, of a "pay back" that's a good haul.
The weird thing about my scammer was there was no deal. There wasn't even a mention of him sending cashiers check or anything. He just asked for an address so he could arrange for a shipper to come take the item. I didn't see any harm in giving an address. If the shippers came with a wad of cash, I would have gladly traded. Or he doesn't come for the item.
When the check first arrived, basically, just a very authentic looking cashiers check in an envelope, no more info.. I didn't connect it to the craigslist item. There was some company name on it, I googled it, and it turned out to be some company that makes soaps or something. Made no sense.
Then it dawned on me it might have something to do with Craigs list auction, because the only other time I ever did anything on Craigs list was when I was looking for some 14 year old poon, years before I was put on the FGI watch list.
Still, here's what would happen;
1. I cash the check
2. bozo contacts me asking me to send him the $8k balance for the difference between what he sent me and the item was listed for
3. I say, *fudge* you...the only cashier's check I've cashed lately was a money order from my Colombian cocaine supplier
I mean, somebody needs to teach that guy how to scam
