Diary of a scam..

[LWC82PE]

What about offering to deliver to his shipping agent and picking up some sort of cash deposit from them with the remiander on the card

good idea. just try to string him along more which is just what he thinks hes doing to you anyway.

What a good idea. Tell him to put a holding deposit of $100 via paypal and balance as per request. I got up one of these guys , saying that his mum would be proud of him and to go out and get a real job and to stop trying to rip off a guy of his hard earned. I also said he was a turner. Turned good food into shit! I then got alot of spam emails. I dont think i got through to him.

Trust me, the average Aussie does not say:
...thank you for your co-operation and God will bless you...

It reads like so many of the dodgy e-mails I'm collecting in my 'junk' folder.
You'd be amazed how many Castles I've inherited, how many unheard of dead rellies have left me a squillion bucks, how many strangers ask I pls deposit their good fortune in my account for later use minus a hefty $ thank you for doing so  - and how do all these trusting Doctors and Lords get my e-mail anyhow? F*ckin' Tossers!

Great thread this one - I'm lovin' it!

If there is an Australian mailing address or email generated out of Australia, just report it to thes guys, they will jump on it, especially with latest anti terrorism laws. picture the look on his face when they check out his IP address and knock on the door. and you might just get an extra $1000 hand out from Kevy, just to stimulate the economy

Cappra, give franks email address and the details ( the technical data IP address details of the email) to Pokey and he will be able to work out where the mail is actually comming from. He did it for me once when i had some dodgy mails about someone offering me FREE motorbike seat covers and FREE new carburettors.

Hmmm let me guess a fire station?

Google the card number and see what happens

Here's getting back at the scammers, this site where they humiliate the scammer by holding up ridiculous signs to prove authenticity, then posts them for all to see on the website. Check out the Trophy Room:

I work for a credit card processor in the United States, This is what you should do..... call your processor's voice authorization line and tell them you have a suspicious transaction, they will get all of the info and call the bank, which in turn will call the cardholder and ask if they are making this purchase. If it is a stolen card you will know it right away, if it is a valid transaction and the cardholder was planning on doing a chargeback against this transaction this will eliminate the possibility of him succeeding because he just old the bank it was a valid charge. Either way you lose nothing.

Thanks Sam, that's what I did.  The cards were stolen.  Frank even called me to see if I had processed his order.
(the guy must have big ones!)  He sure didn't sound like an Aussie!

[cultofthumpers]

Excellent! another fraud foiled!
