Default SYC Forum Members Double-Team Scammer

This was a fun one!

The "sale" item was a 1971 Ford 302 engine.

Fellow sYc forum member "ED&KEN" (Ken) sent me a PM:
[ QUOTE ]
I was SELLING the engine on eBay....he sent a phony second chance offer to one of the bidders....the bidder forwarded it to me. I replied to the guy telling him I wanted to buy MY engine from HIM.
Now he is offering to sell me MY OWN ENGINE!!!


[/ QUOTE ]

So I contacted the scammer and pretended I was a 3rd bidder and had learned that the first buyer had defaulted. I was offering $2700 for the engine. (Yikes! It is afterall, a FORD! )

Anyway, Ken and I started baiting him from our own ends and strung him along for a week.

Ken was "Rob Myeorgan"
I was "Roy L. Payne"

Ken was delayed in sending $$ due to rectal problems, whereas I was delayed when I was hit by an errantly-tossed beer bottle after the final out of the #4 World Series game in St. Louis.
On top of that, when I awoke in the hospital, my pants were undone!


Ken sent off his bogus Western Union receipt for $3K yesterday, while I waited until today. This way we'd have him running for two days straight!

But on top of this, I sent him an intentionally blurred version of the WU-Xfer so he couldn't read it. Now he'll have to wait one more day while I transfer a readable version.
The new version of the (attached) Western Union-Xfer will be in TIFF format - at about 4 MEGS. This will ensure that he spends a good half hour downloading the file in his filthy, stinking rathole Internet cafe.
I hope he's paying a premium and is on dial-up access!

Anyway, I wanted to thank Ken for coming to me with this scammer and for the fun exchanges we had in making this scammer miserable!

By the way...
My receipt was signed by Western Union agent: Peyton Manning
While Ken's agent was: Chad Pennington

Boy, those NFL Q-Backs are all moonlighting. They must need the extra cash!
