She lies. She took my lack of response as my not saying anything as negative. Truth was, that video caused my carpal tunnel to go from "syndrome" to "lock up" so I couldn't reply.
I posted this on another forum and don't remember if I posted it here. Some times I like to play with Internet scammers.
I wrote this as a response to a craigslist listing that was posted over and over by someone wanting to get nearly retail for their busted bike - which prompted a scammer to try and scam me.
The Craigslist Listing
RE: Scattante R560 - $899
You seemd to have some trouble writing your add so let me help you!
Performance wants $1000 for this bicycle and more for others that I haven't ridden but don't want you to
buy. I've given up cycling and after using this bike for a year, I'd like to get as close what I paid for it as possible. After all, it did have my fabulous ... ride it for a year - that has to add value to it some how. I ruined the seat that came with it so I've replaced it with something I found in a bargain bin. I also broke the rear tire on my last ride and haven't bothered to fix it so don't expect a test ride. Now bend over!

Greetings!
Praise Allah for his great and growing flatulence!! I know you will like this item very very much! It has many nice features. You will need to arrange to pay your shipper directly since as the new owners of a rapidly growing donut
shop, I am not in a position to do your errands for you. I am busy running the shop all day and then taking classes in donutology in the evenings. Donuts require more knowledge than you probably imagine. This week we're working on Long Johns: How long is too long? and Creamy Fillings: Sweet fun or Cholesterol Express? I will have the item boxed and ready to ship for your shipper when the cheque arrives. Please send the Cheque to:
Gideon Grey
1060 W. Addison St.
Chicago, IL 60613
Please let me know when you will be able to forward the cheque so that I will be on the look out for it. Praise Allah and may he give you many .... delights for your good deals!

Hello
how are you todey. pls get back to me so that i can know what's going on concerning the payment with you there.Thanks
Me
Glad tidings of comfort and joy!
My most humble apologies for not getting back to you. I traveled to the hilly lands of Wisconsin this week to observe first hand the refinement of wheat into flour that Allah has created that one day becomes our delicious donuts of love. I did receive your payment and had a chance to cash it today. I have placed the extra money into the container with the item since as I stated in my earlier message I would be unable to do your errands for you. I am off to the land of the Arizona sun for 3 days to negotiate with our frosting supplier or we could see the cost of donuts rise 3 fold. Pray he is a sensible man or I shall have to pray to Allah to send rabid dogs to feed on his testicles. You may have your shippers pick up the item after Wednesday.
May Allah bless you the flowing warmth of his colonic embrace!

Hello,
Thanks for getting back to me and i want you to go ahead and have th remaining money send to my shipper information that is with you there and i want you to send the money via westenr union money transfer and as soon as you send the money i want you to get back to me with the transfer details so that the shipper can come for the pick up as your step door and i will be looking forward to read back from you soon.Thanks
Me
Howdy Joe!
I think we're having a communication problem, perhaps as a result of English being our second language and your .........ion of it is not that astutiated yet. Per my message yesterday, I am in the dry dry land of Arizona where it seems the only humidity is that which is caressing my ball sack from walking around in the hot sun. As a tremendous tea bagger yourself (i'm just guessing), I am sure you know what I mean. Any ways, I will be unable to Western Unionize your money to you. Please plan to have your shippers pick up the item at the address provided on Wednesday or Thursday. This is as you know, a very expensive item and given the generous amount you paid for it, I want you to make sure you get what’s coming to you ASAP. If you are unable to work out the shipping by next week, then I will return the money to you via cachiers check.
Praise Allah for his intestinal creaminess!

Homoarigata Joe!
My most humble apologies! I must have been thinking about the delicious burrito lunch I had yesterday right before I sent the West Unionize. It was really something since I thought all burritos were the same but praise Allah for his cheesy, beany goodness that that is not so Juan's House of Burritos in Scottsdale, Arizona! They have meat burritos, cheese burritos, veggie burritos, big burritos, small burritos, burritos of all ingredients! They even had dessert burritos with chocolate fillings, creme fillings, pudding fillings and ice cream fillings! It boggles the mind and the colon! Praise Allah for his burritoy goodness!
Any ways, that is neither hither or yon. I will go to the West of Union tomorrow and see if they can recall the one to Ms. Burrito. I think there must be some mistake on the amount though. The check I received was for $1050.00. When I subtract my fees of time, gas and wear and tear and the WU fees, that only leaves $5.23. Perhaps that was a check for another item I sold. Also, it would not make sense for you to send me an extra $3100 more than I was asking for the item. Perhaps you sent the check meant for me to someone else and I got theirs? I can call the bank tomorrow and confirm the amount. I have tried to scan the receipt for you but every time I put the receipt into the CD drawer on my computer, the paper crumbles and the receipt does not appear on the screen. Any ideas how to fix this?
Fear not fellow planet traveler, together we will get to the bottom of all of this! And perhaps after that, we can get to Ms. Barajas's bottom so that everyone is satisfied! Until the morrow when we can resolve such issues sweet bagger!

HI
INFACT THIS IS A MESSAGE OF WHICH AN USING TO EXPRESS MY NEGATIVE FEELING TOWARD YOU YOU HAVE COMPLETELY MAKE THINGS BAD NOW MY SHIPPER ALSO HAVE SOME OTHER ITEMS TO PICK UP FOR ME IN YOUR AREA A THIS SHIPPING COMPANY HAS ALREADY MAKE ARRANGEMENT WITH THE OTHER SELLER OF THE ITEMS THAT THEY ARE COMING TOMORROW FOR THE PICK UP AND THIS MY SHIPPER IS GOING TO USE THE EXTRA MONEY WITH YOU FOR THE SHIPPING FUNDS, NOW TELL ME HOW THE SHIPPING COMPANY CAN NOW COME FOR THE PICK WHEN THE MONEY TO USE FOR THE SHIPPING IS STILL WITH YOU?

BUT IF BY THE END OF TODAY I DO NOT READ FROM YOU THAT YOU HAVE SENT THE EXTRA MONEY TO MY SHIPPER THEN I BELIEVE YOU WANTED TO CHEAT ME ,
AND EXPECT MY LAWYER /THE FBI POLICE IN YOUR HOUSE,. BUT YOU STILL HAVE THE CHANCE OF TODAY FOR YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU SEND THE MONEY TO MY SHIPPER ,.
GET BACK TO ME WITH THE Western Union INFORMATION WHEN YOU SEND THE MONEY TO MY SHIPPER
ANXIOUSLY, WAITING TO RECEIVE THE Western Union INFORMATION TODAY
Me
Joe,
I am aghast at your response! You are so quick to accuse me of mishandling this situation when you have not even looked into the check business to see if it was you who sent the wrong check! This is entirely unexpected as I have never cheated anyone, even when my brother went to the bathroom, I was trusted entirely with the Monopoly money and real estate cards. Such is scrutiny most men can not pass! Perhaps you, like me has enjoyed one to many burritos and the gas is backing up and making your berries dingle uncomfortably!
However, I can see the good news and believe you are 100% right and a meeting is in order with myself, you. the FBI, your Lawyer, the Police and your Shipper are coming to my house! Praise Allah for his great and glorious magnitude! This way, we will fellowship with many donuts and work out this issue to the satisfaction of everyone! I will also invite my banker! Certainly with so many minds, we can find the solution to this check silly business. Perhaps also with a thousand hugs we can work through your pant load of negative feelings and put spring back in your step and the crease back in your pants!
I am looking forward to meeting! Praise Allah for bringing you into my humble home! You must be a man of unusual corn holiness to work through these many issues so patiently! I must go now, I must sleep so that I may properly prepare for our many visitors! Lets have them on Thursday. I trust you will make the arrangements with your lawyer and the police and FBI and forward my address. There are many drinks to get and donuts to make. I know the police like any donuts, but what do you think the FBI and your Lawyer would enjoy? I am thinking Long John donuts since that would be a play of the words on the Long John Arms of the Law. Let me know please.

Hi Joe!
Praise Allah, Tis the morning and clearer heads have prevailed! I will not be going to the union of the western since you and your parties will be here tomorrow. I can afford to give you the $5.23 directly. Please let me know how many will be in your party so that I can plan the adequate space. Please do not delay in getting back to me! It is very embarrassing to have new guests in your home and not have enough donuts, drinks and concubines to accommodate everyone! Hurry now and let me know!
Gideon

Thanks for the prompt respond,i really appreciate your effort towards the the transaction.i just inform my uncle on the transaction and my move on it and he advice me to come down that the mistake can be from the western union office and also told me not to inform fbi on the case .so kindly go back to the western union outlet and made the correction so that the transaction can move on.
Kindly have the mistake correct and get back to me in time so that the shipping company can come for the pick up of the item in time.
so i will glad to have the money send to the shipping company when the mistake have been done.
Thanks and say in bless.
Me
Hi Joe,
Thank you for the come down! Praise Allah your colon has stopped its twitching! I will not be able to go to the Western Union office today since you can not afford for me to make another trip. I would need to charge you another $100 for my time, plus expenses and since there is only $5.23 left, you can not afford to pay for another trip for me and there would be nothing left to Western Unionize!
Since you recommended the meeting though, and I believe you are a very wise and very erect man, I believe a face to face meeting is the best path for us to skip along lightly. Please bring yourself, your lawyer and Ms. Charmaine Bareass with you. My lawyer and banker are coming and I will invite the local police and fbi mans to join us and we will flatulent our brains together and get to the bottom of this monkey business! The all together we can squeeze the Charmaine!
Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow!

Praise Allah for your speedy coming! We'll have much joy and ejaculations upon your arrival!
