I just scammed a scammer for about a week.
Some moron with a wife that had breast cancer, you know the usual story.... He was selling a Mini Cooper for 4000.
I wasted his time for 7 days asking million questions, always offering cash... He eventually got tired and gave up.
Here's the latest:

Since is an over seas deal i am going to ask for this deal to be completed using an eBay service for this kind of transactions. so here's how this service works;
payment will be sent to an eBay employee , they will check the payment and if funds ara avilable they will notify me to start with delivery. As soon as shipping has been done i must email eBay with all information from shipping co along with the tracking #. eBay will not relese the payment to me until you (the buyer) will receive and be able to inspect the car, payment will be relesed to me only with your approval. If you don't get the car as seller advertised they you will ship the car back at my cost and eBay will send you full refound back.
If this sounds ok for you please send the folowing information so i can be able to open a new case with eBay regarding our deal.
your eBay Id
full name
address
city/state
zipp
country
phone # & shipping address if it's different.
As soon as i have requested information i will start the registration with eBay and you will be contacted by they over email with all steps necesary in order to complete your part of this deal.
Thanks and looking forwoard to receive that info so we can move on.

Sounds complicated. I have the cash, so how about a quick deal? Thats what you wanted, right?
I can have you the 4000 dollars tonight!
Since you are in Ohio and only few hours from me, I can just drive to you and pay cash. I have the bucks ready to go.
Would this be OK with you?
I can be there tonight if you want!
Can you e-mail me any documentation of the car, like title or something similar?
Thanks!
