So as some may know already, I've been trying to sell my motorcycle...I had a guy email me and try and send a bogus cashiers check.....Well he sent it and it was fake!! I knew this all along because he wouldn't send me his phone # or location ever....When I received the cashiers check, I called the bank that it was from.... The fraud team at the bank was able to read me the routing # on the check before I said anything....So I just caught the dude online right now and wanted to share my conversation with you...He actually had the ball to talk to me, even after I've wrote him several emails calling him a fraud....The first part got cut off but I told him I sent him money for the "shippers" to come pick up my bike....Funny thing is during our conversation I asked him when he was going to pick up the car not the bike and he said nothing...LOL...I apologize for some of the language....

You should have played with him a bit.
this can be fun if done correctly!
See this community here: 419 Eater
ATTENTION!!!
Do NOT open from work!
Read through a couple completed baits in the Letters Archive. This may take some time but is well worth it! Check out The Tale of The Painted Breast, one of the best baits where the scammer got scammed!

Please remember that these people are CRIMINALS and should be treated as such.
Under no circumstances must you enter into any communications with these people unless you feel you are adequately prepared to deal with them.
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES give them ANY real private information about yourself. These guys may appear dumb and clueless, but I suspect it wouldn't be so funny if you were to come face-to-face with one of them, although I'll be the first to admit the chances against this happening are astronomical - unless of course you are dumb enough to fly over to meet them in person, in which case you need to be sectioned ASAP!
The tips below are for INFORMATION ONLY. 419eater.com cannot be held responsible for what you decide to do with the information.
If you are unsure of what you are doing please LEAVE WELL ALONE!

WARNING
419 scammers are not nice people, they are thieves, liars, and generally very nasty, therefore you can expect some small use of adult language and themes when dealing with them here. That is not to say there are any explicit pictures here - there isn't, but if you are very easily offended then please go HERE
PLEASE ALSO NOTE
Scambaiting is not a racist activity. Anyone with racist views is most definitely NOT welcome on this site. 419eater maintains a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards racism throughout the site and forums.
It is important to understand that scambaiters only respond to scam emails we receive. Unfortunately is is a sad fact of life that the majority of "419" scams do in fact originate from Western and Southern Africa - we estimate 50% - 55% of "419" scam attempts are sent from Western & Southern Africa - but these scams also come from places such as England, Spain, Ireland, USA, Canada, The Netherlands, Australia and many more.
For the most part these criminals are not, "poor people trying to scratch a living", but are very prosperous compared to their law-abiding countrymen, and many operate in highly organised, and highly successful criminal gangs. Millions of dollars are stolen on a DAILY basis, with absolutely no thought given to victims, who are losing vast amounts of money, homes, relatives, jobs and worse. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just "greedy & stupid people" that fall for these scams.

Almost everytime I've posted something on Craigslist, I would get a proposition by one of these scammers and they were pretty much all the same; written with broken English, offering to pay by cashier's check and to pay a shipping company to come pick up the merchandise. From furniture to cars, you name it.
