    SCAMMERS!

    I got sucked into a scam- found it on the Australian classified website- a cute savannah kitten (usually worth $1600) for $200!

    I was so excited to receive her - she looked adorable!
    Lucky my boyfriend clicked on that it was a scam before I sent money through to western credit union (DER TO ME)



    Anyway... I was shattered to find out I was getting played along... And it made me think.... What is there we can do to get these heartless morons back for their cruelty?!?!?!????

    Any idea's?

        open up a fake email account, buy a sim card, give your self a nice name like Mrs S. Cambaiter and everytime you have a few minutes to spare use them it to waste a day of various scammers time. (ie "Oh yeah, Ill buy that cat from you, ill meet you that place thats 2 hours from you" (2 mins of your time 4 hours 2 mins of theirs))

          So how far away was it from you?
          What was wrong with the post - pay by paypal - if it's not as described - alive and kicking - when arrives - claim off paypal - simples.

            Have a read through www.thescambaiter.com. It always makes me feel better after I read about a scam.

              One problem with this is that the scammers get the money anyway. Paypal looses out, thus causing them to increase rates. Not a win/win in the long run, you just end up feeding the trolls.

                  If the orginal poster is also a scammer - that means at least you didn't part with somebody elses hard earned dough
