ok, i'll try to explain this in terms you can understand.

you get scam email from potential buyer of item

you realize its scam and want to "mess" with him

since this is regarding an item for sale, he would have to pay you for the item if you went through with it whether you messed with him or not.

since he is a scammer, do you really think he is using his own money? hell no, he using a stolen credit card or paypal account.

Again, you're assuming I'm stupid enough to take his money or actually mail him the item. I'm suggesting spamming his mail address or using that FedEx account (whether stolen or not, FedEx and/or the authorities would catch up with him eventually...adding the cost FedExing a brick to his list of charges) to mess with him.

Have a :cookie: or something dude, this is ATOT not the rotary club.
 
Everyone need to realize that the scammer is not paying the OP any money. He says he will get Paypal confirmation which is probably a scam email that looks like a legitimate Paypal email. The scammer thinks that the OP will see the email and say "oh nice I got the money I will send the item I guess," when in reality there is no money coming in. The scammer doesn't have a hacked Paypal/eBay account that actually sends him money, so everyone cool it down.
