this is strangely creepy, got this as a response to a CL ad

[getglockd]

got this in response to a musicians ad, i'm not doubting that it's a scam of some sort i just don't know how it works.

 

hello great GUITARIST , how are you doing? i need a GUITAR teacher for my kid. We are presently in UK, he is so keen in learning how to play the GUITAR he is gonna have 3 months holiday soon and i am thinking of sending him over to you to learn how to play GUITAR, he will be staying with a friend of mine in the USA though, can you teach him for the 3 months? how much will it cost me?. Please get back to me soon.

C&P response, you get a money order made out for too much money, you reimburse the balance, a month later, the MO or bank check bounces, cue Nelson Laugh.

To bad it wasn't a "her", you could of had some fun.

Creepy.

The scammers are becoming more advanced and are actually talking about the subject at hand rather than just the "item."

i figured as much.

Is it a man or a woman that is writing to you? Is the friend he will be staying with for 3 months a man or a woman. You could have some fun with the responses.

Its best to just ignore those rather than to play along even though it sounds like fun to antagonize them. Replying however, gives them access to your actual email.

[Sweep?]

Hmmm sounds like a creeper.

[Murdoch]

Respond by saying that you'll do it, and that you will string up a gigantic floppy dildo for dual learning purposes.

[Mesa/Kramer]

So accept the Check that is "too Much", then don't send anything back.
Scam the Scammer!

Very wrong. Create a freemail account, reply until they quit. You get to amuse yourself tormenting an asshole, and use time that would otherwise be spent suckering gullible people into sending money. Google "scambait" for tips.

See ... You just can't trust those chaps in the UK :poke::poke:

[tetaJ]

yes, send the money in cash with the kid

[greg apocalypse]

Tell them "you'll just take the kid for for three months as payment. :eyebrows:"

the :eyebrows: is the important part.

Personally, i always have fun with CL scammers. I never miss out on an opportunity to mess with a scammer. I don't use my real email account for CL, so I never have any issues.

You don't deposit the check, Ponzi, you're trying to waste the scammer's resources.
