Earlier this week I posted some stuff for sale, I immediately got an email from a scammer, with the typical "I'll send you this much in a cashiers check, you send the bike and the extra money.....", well, the fact that I didn't have a bike for sale gave it away. Anyway, I told him my bike was $3400, he sent out a cashiers check, overnighted from london, along with a UPS call tag for the bike. I told the UPS guy that the bike would be ready tomorrow......
I went down to my local shop, and got 2 bike boxes. I put the second, smaller box, inside the first, to reinforce it for what I had planned...
I then filled the boxes with parts of a cut up tree stump, and hunks of broken concrete. The end weight was 156 pounds. I had to help the UPS guy get it into his truck. On the customs form, I put, commercial product, value $7200. I got online, and depending on the method, shipping alone on the bike should be around $700, and the customs fees should be another $600 or so, all of which is coming directly out of this a$$holes's wallet. I asked the driver, if he could refuse the package because of the fees, and they said he has a UPS account, so everything is automatically charged to him. (Bad thing is, he's probably using someone else's account, I dodn't think about that until after the package was gone.) Today I'm going to the post office to send my second package to this guy, a thank you card, and a jar of ky jelly to help with the anal rape he's about to receive. If more of us started doing things like this, we could help put an end to some of these scams.
