OK so I got contacted for an item I am selling on Craigslist.
I gave the guy an old address, and he's sent a check.
I am planning to say, OK come by and get it, and calling the cops to come arrest him when he's there.
Now has anyone tried this ? How would I go about doing this.
Thanks guys.
Cool.
Buddha.
if you get the check before cops get there , verify that its false then call police :police: :thumb:

Well the check should be there in a day or may have been there already, however I sent it to Caleee-fornieeee-aaaaa.
I wasn't thinking this through, I wanted to shaft the guy.
I guess now I cant ?
Cool.
Buddha.
This is the most crazy thing I have ever heard of.
Additionally, I keep experiencing overtones of Dr. Michael Savage every time I read your last post.
The story is simply too brief. There is a lot more going on here.
Just saying. :dunno_black:
Not really. I posted some speakers on CL.
The clown responded saying he wanted to buy it etc etc , so I replied saying yes its available.
He came back with some long story of how he will send me a check and what not. I go, OK fool lets see if I can toss you in jail.
I said ok fine send it to some random address (not really, I lived down the street and this house had a cop live in it back in 2000-01) so I thought it would be a good one to send it to.
Then some quick googling later, that house got sold in 2010. So WTF, now I have this fake check crap just going to some random house.
So I want to find out how I can get the scammer tossed in the slammer.
Very much made up as it went along. Which is why its failing now.
Cool.
Buddha.
Errrm Buddha mate. .. be very careful with these guys... they rarely work solo. .. they have few morals about vengeance. .. they also usually have I.T. backup. ... it'd be a real shame to catch one of the bastards only to wake up one morning to find yourself tied to a Bertrand and see old mate Motumbo standing there grinning with a rusty machete in his hand and a 4 tooth smile on his face! ...
Best to just let the authorities know then step right back into the shadows... they can deal with it IF they choose to!
Bertrand? .. fucken spellchecker! .. bed frame!
Exactly!
You dont want this guy having his way with you mate. >:(

Mexican? ... Nigerian!? .. close enough I guess! Lol
You guys realize I have given him a Caleee for neeeeeeaaaa address right ?
I am in NC, clear on the other side of the country.
Cool.

Heh-heh... Ops! Good call Janx, but...
Does Nigeria have proper banditos and such? :whisper:
I believe so EJ .. not called as such.. leaders called warlords, handy with machetes, knifes and assault rifles.
Buddha. Cool you gave false and far away address. Which in itself shows your own hesitancy in exposing yourself to danger... so no meta data in your emails to Johnny Checkchopper that could be used to track you? ........
I normally just tell them to be intimate with a goat and leave it alone plus block the email address for future. .. real persistent ones I forward to authorities. . Who are normally so overloaded with such things that they rarely target the small fish
Janks, your correct!
I Googled for info on these Nigerian fellows you talked about and they do indeed run internet scams to earn cash for their operations.
I was also a bit shocked at what Google images came back with on that same Nigerian Google search. . .
These boys look like they dont play too nice. >:(

No, I was sending them to a house where I knew a cop lived. If it was down my street, I'd have still sent them there. Just my misfortune, they sold it in 2010. I'd work on getting some way of getting cops to pick them up.
Cool.
Buddha.

They look like a very jovial group. I would not lose any further sleep over this issue.

... so you were going to send them to a cop's house... who if they still owned it, would be off duty and theoretically unprepared? ... but instead could have sent them to same address but with completely unawares/unprepared civilians!? .... shame Buddha shame! :-p

OK well the cops seem interested. I gave them the scammers name, and the name of the person he's expecting to deal with. Fontavius Jackson. Hopefully they will toss him in the slammer with Bubba the big black ghey dude who's exploring his options in good ole Caleeee for neeeeaaaa.
Nice introduction to "American Dream" for nigerian scammer.
BTW these scams are now almost all american. However I suspect this one is nigerian. Cos the fool didn't know last thursday was thanksgiving.
Cool.

This is by far the best "The Buddha" thread I have ever read.
You Sir are the most enterprising and motivated business man I have ever seen operate! :thumb: and :cheers:

Thank you Cods, Nice work. I'll take it from here...
He's absolutely correct on this Buddha.
Get yourself a plane ticket to Nigeria and deal with these bums directly!
The 4-1-9 scam requires a "hands-on" approach.
Air Nigeria will whisk you away in total comfort.

Oh come on, I've done far worse. My ebola joke thread comes to mind. But of course I am always ready to plumb greater and greater depths any time.
I've just been annoyed out of bed a few times by the idiot texting me. That's probably what lead me to the need to see if I can get him tossed in the cooler.

Buddha,
Your business ventures have always been an interesting read, but this one has gone full platinum... :bowdown:
Nigerian warlords, 4-1-9 scams, decoy delivery addresses, and now the cell phone thing.
This is the best thread I've seen in ten years.
(http://static3.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/9/1/4/small2/41935243.jpg)
Full platinum, what is that, like full retard ???
OK the phone number BS is not that bad, you expect them to go to CA and get arrested if they can trace to to NC ??? You guys are giving them way too much credit, as well as giving our techinical capacities too much credit.
Cool.
Buddha.

No retard, no BS. Just a damn good thread.
I had a blast reading and interacting, and I also learned a good bit of information on scams.
Cool stuff. :thumb:
The CA cops now won't give me details of any arrest over the phone. Grrrr I hate this crap. Only in person they said. WTF.
I have no clue what happened. I spoke to a cop sounding dude a few days ago. Now I am talking to this stuck up b1atch who sounds like she learned 40-50 perfect english sentences with lots and lots of effort and will never ever be baited into speaking anything outside of that script because we might figure out she's an Illegal and deport her.
I give up.
Cool.
Buddha.
Seriously, Burn the phone. VERY easy to trace someones address with the cell number.
This isn't the first scammer I have jerked around. I've irritated a few a good lot more. I've asked fools to send checks, then after they do that, I dont reply for weeks, then I say I suddenly had to go to europe, so the check is lost, and they send me another ... then I eventually say its not cashing @ the bank. Maybe they should send me another check. Months of this ... and I'll tell them hey man, I sold it 2 days ago, and he can come and get the 20 checks. I have wasted time and $$$ for these clowns.
The scammer has no option, they are playing a numbers game. For every 1000 like me, there is a Idiot like my friends kid who sends 1800 for a Busa ans gets ripped off. They dont try to chase down every one that wastes their time.
If someone was arrested, and the guy wasn't a scammer if he was just a delivery guy, he would be able to show evidence of being a delivery man and walk away. If he was the scammer, they probably wont be able to do much more than hold him a day or 2 till they show him to a judge who will release him cos there is no evidence. I'd have to turn up there in person to keep him in Jail. I cant do that. If delivery guy was arrested, why would the scammer care ?
The scammer if he got arrested in CA - how do you think he is going to find me and extract revenge in NC ?
If it wasn't the scammer, and the actual scammer is in NC and his brother in in CA, and hence he will extract revenge for his brother ... man isn't that really far fetched. If he can even trace my phone to my location.
Its really stretching it.
Anyway I think the guy that was there was just a delivery guy. Not the real scammer. I pretty much am certain scammer is not in the US. Who in the US doesn't know thanksgiving is holiday.
Cool.
Buddha.
I really harass those scammer. Including ones that sell sheite. I'll respond and they'd say Oh, its in nebraska. I'll go, no problem, my brother lives in Nebraska. Those fail quickly. Usually they respond saying its sold.
The ones I am selling, I usually keep the scammers on the hook for hours and hours a time for 20-30 times over many weeks.
If they can extract revenge, I'll be typing this from the crypt by now.
Cool.
Buddha.

If that is really true, I am gonna shaft the next Idiot with a fake sale. He can ship a brick to nigeria @ his expense. Yea a true bait ad. OK I could meet the fool somewhere and tell him he can cart this 50 lb brick to nigeria.
If that is the case, then the nigerian probably is afraid of getting a beat down from Fontavius. I've fed these fools so many names they wont know what is what if they ever even bother trying to get even.
Cool.

Hi Buddha,
Your eagerness to get people thrown in jail and the seemingly sexist? racist? tone in this post saddens me. With a nick like "Buddha" and all the help you provide to the users of this board made me think you would have better character than that.

Man, lighten up, You know I am racist and sexist. That isn't in question.
You may not know, I am also stupidist, and bureauc-racist. Does that include being a racist ? Huh, need to think about it.
Anyway I believe I was speaking from the point of view of those primarily. But I'll take all of the others too.
Cool.

People often think I'm racist. . But I'm not really! .. I'm assholist! ... I believe in identifying an ashore as such.... no matter racial background/upbringing , skin color, gender or age!

anyone that knows buddha here knows of his eccentricities. The rants can be fun lol. I would reply to scammers with some random fbi email address. You dig deep enough theyre on the sitel
I am really against stupid people, worthless bureaucracy, and the need to tip toe around the fact that some fool may be offended - get this after they have comitted a crime.
You send a stupid fake check for 100's over asking $$ for an item, hope to collect the difference in real $$$ and the item, you deserve to be called ... get this, I am being an a$$$hole again ... a Criminal. And maybe maybe maybe someone may think you should pay for your crime.
This can easily be construed as racism if the criminal is a different shade of skin than me.
And when criminal is not a dude that = I'm sexist.
What if The criminal is a dude ... maybe I am then a dude-ist.
Its behavior that I would criticise. Not the person. Any other is a spill over due to circumstances.
Cool.
Buddha.
Or your a racistsexistdude lol. No matter what one does someone else gets b offended. Or behaviour here overall is great. Not many get banned. To get banned or called out, one has to be stupid lol
I MUST be a racist? I fucken hate EVERYONE, Black, white, yellow whatever.
I am an equal opportunity racist and proud. :)
"Equal opportunity"-ist and proud of it.
Being just Racist, is so limiting. Sexist. What about the other 50%. Being stupid-ist really sometimes covers 80-90%, so Its pretty close to being perfect. Throw in Bureauc-racist, laz-ist, greed-ist and a few more and we're golden, covers 99.99999%.
Cool.
Buddha.

The more I read the more I like.
I don't want to turn this in to a political thread (and lose a few good friends here), but damn Buddha, I like your style.
I spoke to you on the phone several years ago (we were doing a little GS500 parts dealing), and I distinctly remember the conversation going rather long. I learned a lot. :thumb:
You have a good attitude for commerce.
Hide everything you can from the bastards at the government, and may every trade be an adventure.
God bless the American entrepreneur.
You Sir, are the Indiana Jones of free enterprise.(http://s25.postimg.org/cb9irl36n/Indy_promo.jpg)
I remember speaking to you too. And you too sir.

(Buford T voice) ... and now that the mutual hogwash is over! ... did they catch that sumbitch yet!?
Not a clue. They wont tell me nothing.
Cool.
Buddha.
Buddha treated this scammer like john hid anne. Buried in the basement somewhere lol underneath 2 tons of vintage stereo gear :thumb:
I believe at that police station they had a "secretary" who was probably on vacation when I first called. The phone was answered by a guy who I'd have pegged for a non hardenened young cop. I should have got his name or something, the guy was a real person, we spoke about the street I lived on, and how I had a cop for a neighbor and gave him a name, and he said I think he retired etc etc. Was like talking to a real person.
The secretary came back, and now wont give nothing but the most scripted answers in what I can only describe as a well practiced english designed to cover up a mexican or latin american accent. Its almost like she would hold in a sneeze till I get off the phone in case I can tell she's latina. Anyway, no idea what they did.
Cool.
Buddha.
This is the address I always give out to these Craigslist scam'ers for the check...Google it ;)
