hahahah, yeah. I went to the USPS post office to drop it off. Fedex has a drop off box there. It wasted about 5 minutes of my time to go there but it was worth it.

Seriously you should have put something nasty in the box, like dog poo. He'd send twice as many mafia members then!

he probably didnt pay duty on it. if it wasoriginalyl 0, the $0 would still be in the barvcode right? and that's wht they are getting the value off of right?

Either way, it's showing the nigerian scammer that not everyone is stupid enough to fall for his scams. He had to pay shipping to get the package over to Nigeria, and it just ends up being a ton of garbage. Even if he didn't pay duty on the package, the five minutes OP spent dropping it off was totally worth it just to royally piss that retarded scammer off.

next time, take a small hit (like $7) and re-print a label with the correct dollar amount for customs ($1000) and have it charge COD (cash on delivery). Hell, you might not even have to pay that $7 with COD! THAT would be great because you KNOW he'll have to pay duties on that, then.

he's not Legit. He never sent me any payment and ask me to send the package to him. He sent me one of those approved email from bidpay with all broken links and stuff saying the payment is on the way.

I put up a "want it now" post on ebay, looking for a heater control module for my Pontiac Montana.

Some fvck from Romania replies and wants me to send him some money. I just laughed an kept telling him that they don't sell Pontiac's in Romania. He kept asking if I was going to send the money. Stupid foreigners
