Ebay Scammer
I recently won an auction for some very nice 34P Props at a good price. I was sent an invoice, paid immediately via Paypal and then received an email from "the seller" stating that his Ebay/Paypal account was compromised and that I should wait for further direction.
I told him I already paid with Paypal. He then sends me a link to a Western Union site and tells me to pay them with his info.
I bought the props from a guy in CT, and this clown is from Spain!!!
He keeps emailing me about my address, phone number, etc...
His email address is [email protected]
Is there anyway to send this A$$hole a virus or something? I hate people that try to prey on others!!!!
If anyone has a suggestion let me know. Others may listen to this guy and get screwed! I sent all these emails to the guy I bought the props from, he was a little freaked out.

If you already paid with paypal you are in luck. They will return your money.
I bought my kids a WII on ebay and the guy vanished! a couple emails ad my money was back in my account.
I think the insurance they provide is automatic after a certain dollar amount

Tell him you have a money order ready for him but you would like him to send dhl to pick it up. Costs him money to do that for one. Next fill a small box with crap , a couple used spark plugs , a spring , used batteries , maybe a brick? That will cost him weight to get it to him , and just imagine how pissed he'll be when he gets this box of crap instead of a check.
Once I told a scammer I thought he was a scammer and wanted him to send me pics to prove he was real. I asked him to send me a pic wearing a red t shirt , bucket on his head , waving with his right hand , and grabbing his junk with the left. I said if he did this I would send the item. Got the pic , funny as hell.

I told him I wanted to send him certified check or cash yesterday. He asked me at least three times if I sent the money. I told him yes.
Today he emails me that I didnt send anything and I'm an
A$$hole...
I guess he realized I never got an address to send to. Idiot!
Whenever you guys get a chance, sign this guy's email up for everything you can please.
