This is great stuff! I used to go on some "scambusters" forum website a while back, where the members would post up all their dealings with the Nigerians. Some brilliant stuff in there. http://www.scambuster419.co.uk/

Maybe Joe could check it out to get a few ideas from the experts on these matters?

Yeah I read that site already, got a fake Western Union receipt from there to send to my scammer

Send a receipt - here is a link to a blank Western Union Receipt... http://www.scambuster419.co.uk/Graph...kreceipts1.jpg

Ok well as we all know, I had no luck trying to extract any "payment fee's" from the scammer. Instead, they've kindly given me a $300 discount off the price of the car, so its now $7,200 that I am supposed to be sending to them

Because of this, I thought I'd stooge them as much as possible...now as we all know, they arent ACTUALLY in Finland, and Peggy Leslie isnt actually the scammers name. So, lets see how "she" handles this next email

Because I live out in the country, I had to drive 50km to my nearest Western Union agent, which was in Ibanez. This town is one that is very primitive, and has no computer systems or running water.

Therefore, the form had to be filled in by hand, and is sent off manually with no internet tracking. Because there is no internet tracking, I've had it sent to a specific Western Union Agent in Helsinki, Finland, with your name on it, just to make sure it is completely 100% secure and safe.

All you need to do is visit:

The Change Group - Fexco Agent
POHJOISESPLANADI 37
HELSINKI , 00100

You must go to the above branch, as this is the one I have had it sent to specifically, or you wont be able to retrieve the money.

Provide them with valid identification that you are Peggy Leslie, and the Money Transfer Control Number, which is 3819684492, and you will be able to receive the $7,200 dollars.

I hope to hear from you as soon as you have received the money, so I can then organise shipment of the WRX!!

Thanks very much.

Regards,

Joe Satriani

Yeah I know, I know, the receipt looks as flakey as hell...but so is this scam, and if the dumb ass scammer actually believes that I believe the scam is real, then they'll believe that the receipt is legit too

If they really do believe I've sent the money to Finland and they say that they cant access it (of course they cant, they arent actually in Finland!), I will then tell the scammer that I can redirect it to his location for a small $100 dollar fee imposed by Western Union, which can be conveniently sent to me via Paypal.

Sooo, lets just wait and see what happens
