Have you sold an item and are asked to accept a payment larger than the item amount?

IT'S A SCAM!

Don't fall for common scams like this - fight them!



So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their time and resources. Whilst you are doing this, you will be helping to keep the scammers away from real potential victims and screwing around with the minds of deserving thieves.

It doesn't matter if you are new to this sport or a hardened veteran; if you are wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way well that's good enough for us, and we would welcome you to join with our now very large community.

So it's called scambaiting and I think it's hilarious!!!! Read this story:

Yeah, I was actually scammed by the guy from Lagos Nigeria, I filed a claim with the international internet fraud agency (forgot the actual name) and included all the e-mails that were sent back and forth, the address he supplied me with, and the alias he used on me.. glad he got brought to justice
