Trolling a Craigslist Scammer

I was surprised that this guy actually thought he was scamming me. His second message was a giveaway that he's a scammer and I just went with it. Pretty ridiculous conversation. But the scam op is pretty sophisticated. I think they are using fake IDs, stolen bank accounts/addresses, and they are sending fake checks from Michigan. Of course, when I finally told him I was scamming him, he never responded. I highly doubt this guy will stop trying to scam people, but at the very least it would be nice to burn the number and accounts he was using on me. I call on my fellow LiveLeakers to spam him with horrible text messages, the ones I would expect from the charming people of LiveLeak. Maybe even try to give him a call. The conversation is long, but here it is if interested: +12816240980: Metal Crates - $200 still for sale? 9:55 AM Me: Yes.

Me my friends and family have all been laughing at your stupid ass the whole time. At the same time u amazed us...we all were wondering how is it possible that a scammer can be such a fucking idiot? Maybe u are just a shitty scammer, or maybe ur just so desperate that u still have hope that u will get some money. 12:40 PM Me: Both ways u are a disgusting rat. I feel sorry for ur family, but not because of what u said cuz I'm sure that's all lies. I feel sorry for them because they depend on a piece of shit who makes money by stealing other peoples money. And u hide behind your keyboard too. U are the ultimate pussy. At least a thief in the street will confront u before they take ur money. If u have a wife, I feel so sorry for her. Must be humiliating 12:44 PM Me: And if u have children, I feel even more sorry for them. They will grow up to be pigs like u. 12:44 PM Me: And u have the nerve to accuse me of stealing. The entire conversation with u was unbelievable.
