Living with Scams.

To me, the most frustrating thing about scams is that it makes me more wary of trusting anyone. I'm trying to sell my scooter on craigslist and just got the usual I really want your item but I'm out of town and oops I paid too much can you just deposit the check and give me a western union transfer of the overage and I'll give you 100 bucks for your trouble because I'm just too rich and busy to worry about sending out another check...

ok...my name is Brian Whales from new york brooklyn...i;m out of the state right now and i  will have to instruct my secretary to mail out the check to you..you dont have to bother yourself about the shippment cause my  moving shipping company will take care of that....i cannot get good one around NY...that is the reason i look your area...i will be waiting to get your full name and address..where the check will be mail to...plus the phone number...i will be waiting to hear from you soon so,we m the seal our deal..

At least this one is obvious and slightly laughable. I wish there were an easy way to report scammer addresses, and more importantly, that they couldn't just go out and create 7 kajillion more so that reporting them is basically worthless. So, on the off-chance you're ever unfortunate enough to have dealings with this dope <and yes, he didn't even spell his alleged first name correctly>, his address is:

"brain whales" <leliky5@hotmail.com>
