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! ![]() ![]() ![]() eBay Scammers---> ![]() Thank you for reading this. Mac

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! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
