Did you ever have one of those days where nothing is going right, no matter how hard you try? You try listing on ebay, get a couple of sales. List in the local throw away and on craigslist hoping for a sale for a larger item, only to be hit with a couple of email scams right away. "Hello, MAC, I am interested in your _____. Please tell me where I can see it .... or I will arrange for a pick up and will have a money order made out for the amount that should cover shipping and the cost. Please cash it and give it to the driver . . . " or something like that
Frustrated with my current state of affairs and replying to the emails I THOUGHT were legit, only to find out they were scams shortly after. I thought I'd give this jerk a run for him money and provide myself with a little diversion and entertainment in the meantime. (Gives me a little break from the drudgery anyway)
So far my name has changed from my current name to marvin. The item in question went from inside a store to my home. When I asked this person where they live, they reply,
Hello marvin,
