you should've told him you work for the CIA or FBI and you are on to him.
tell him to surrender to the nearest police station in the next 24 hours or be raided.
also, i'd have put down $10k as value.

I remember that one, the guy pretended he was some laptop company, and the scammer ordered like 500 laptops.

So I listed an Xbox 360 on ebay and a dude from Nigeria want to buy it with his lame excuses about daughter studying oversea and want to ship it to Nigeria just in time for her birthday and stuff.

He sent me a fedex label so i can ship the xbox out. I stuffed a cd with xbox writing on it, my trash, and my free magazines that i got from the hot deals forums.

He then stated that my payment was on the way. I emailed him and ask him about my money and this is what he has to say.

"hello Toan
i dont know you are not honest asi expect you to be i track the tracking number you give to me it didn't track it stop at poly gb so i contact bidpay to stop it that it was fake tracking number you give to me and since then i was unable to talk to you because i went on a trip so i was just back ok i want to get back to me with the solution we are going to do with it allrigth now i will be expect you"


But later that day, he received the package. This is what he wrote to me,

"hello toan you fulking and idiot you believe you can scam me you ship only magazine to i receive it this afternoon and i know how to get you rigth i will get you with my mafias so they will get you for me and you are in dealth so get back to me with solution b'cos you have 24hrs left to be captured.Bad day for you"

Oh, on the fedex from, i declared a value of $1000, so i wonder if he has to pay duty taxes for that.
