    spend a bit of time finding a few "free porn" sites and add the email adresses you get spammed from as your email adress. - You get free porn, and they get spam.

Then I subscribed his email address to anything i could find ie: Treasures nappy club, Baptist church in Orlando, Enima fetish site, Lactation fanciers, A thing called bear chasers for homosexual men who fancy hairy large homosexual men, goldfish fanciers, Some neonazi site from America, a society of Scandanavian adult diaper wearers, a Russian mail order bride company and rotten.com's pic of the day.

    Finally I hunted down some evidence of this very persons scam from the internet and sent him a very scolding email about what he was doing with attached evidence asking him what kind of chump he took me for and asked how he liked all the timewasting emails I sent him.

    Hey, sounds like a forged cashiers check scam that was common about a year ago (and still is), they send you a cashiers check, which is a forgery, however there such good forgerys that the bank doesn't find out until it gets back to it suposed bank of origin(anything up to a month). In the mean time your bank have payed out on it, and you've done what ever with your goods. Your bank then goes and takes all the money it's paid out back.

    what you could do is have two accounts at seperate banks... just make money of the interest from these tards... get the money from one bank, put it in a high interest earner account for a month and you should get around $120 out of 20k in that time. Would just have to be a deal where you can draw the money back at anytime...

    ...that's the problem with T&E. There's no way of dealing with these sorts of people. TM does a good job, the system's really good. But a place like T&E has no way of controlling this sort of thing.

    Haha, that's awesome.

    Damn, that makes you realise how easy it is to do that to someone. I bet there are lots of disgrunted thirteen year olds who just sign up people they don't like.

    Sounds all very dodgy. I would notify T&E that their customers are being targeted with this.

    Even if they did send a valid cheque (did I just see a flying pig?) you could be laundering money for them (not good).

    You could "play" with them but they already have a fair idea who and where you are so I would not recommend it in this situation.

    I have played quite a bit with Nigerian scammers but only the dumb ones get caught up for long - fun though.

    For that sort of thing I would recommend using a proxy server to mask your actual IP address (DIY) or better yet, use a proper anonymous email service. Those guys sometimes play for keeps and hotmail or yahoo etc are by no means anonymous enough for such play IMO).

    Best wishes on the sale of the bike anyway.

    This sort of stuff has been around for a long time, now. HAd it tried on me a while ago. I just replied that I wasn't as green as I was cabbage looking and said for him to come give me the cash. Never heard from him again. It amazes me how many are still being sucked in by these Nigerian scams.
    Sounds like your instincts were working, good on you.
