Another CL scammer

[James Bond]

We have already gone back and forth a couple times - it was readily apparent that he was a scammer from email #1. Here's the point I'm at now:

Hi ,how was your day ?I want you to understand that the deal is on and my secretary as posted the payment promptly, but there was a little problem which i guess we can handle with care while i contacted her to confirm if the payment as been mail out i was made to understand that its actually as been sent and but instead of the actually amount $450 for the item ,she made out the check for $3100 she claim that was what i requested but she didn't get that straight. The payment was already posted before i was inform about this but i wouldn't want this to delay the sale as i have rectify this with my Bank and all you do once you have the payment is to take it to you Bank and have it cashed and you will then deduct the money for you good plus a $100. The excess fund on the payment will then be wired to my mover via western union that same days so that he can come for pick up as i already plan on using the excess on the payment to offset the cost of the various shipments he as undertaken on my behalf.Do let me know if i can trust you to have the excess sent to my mover thank you,best Regards

Any way I can really mess with this guy? I already sent a reply to this email (#2) and let him know that I would be more than happy to wire him the excess funds, heh.

Are you serious? He is sending you bogus funds in hope of getting real money from you. Never do that.

Don't people read the post anymore?

He already know it's bogus. He's asking what should he do to mess with the scammer.

Anyway, there are tons of way to mess with him.

Such as, tell him you didn't get the check, ask him to re-send it with tracking through UPS, make him eat up the shipping charges lol.

Why don't you wire him 2,550 in Vietnamese Dong (about 12 cents)

Is there a way to still get the receiver to pay for postage/shipping? If so, tell him you do not trust wiring the money because of all the scams but instead will mail it to him. End up mailing a few rolls of pennies (Canadian) or just random scrap.
