We should all create accounts and bid on this auction. Get it up to like 200K, imagine how much that would f with him!
Doesn't say much about our community when we commit fraud.

Too bad that one jerk off has to ruin it for everyone like that. My wife and I were recently looking on Kijiji pets online and found a similar scam like that. It goes something like this. I just got transferfed to western Africa and now I don't have time to take care of my puppy.( insert type here.) I'm willing to send her/him to you for the price of shipping. Send money through Western Union to my shipping agent. They don't take paypal. I can't imagine how many hopeful people they managed to scam. It's always for only a few hundred bucks so they get away with it.

I recant. But that would not be fraud, we would not be trying to elicit anything, just mess with the fraudulent poster.


My favorite, and this has happened 3 times in 2 years, is when you get a call from a deaf person from Africa. You have to talk to the phone company "translator" whom has to take the call seriously. They try to order stuff like 20,000 bottles of dog vitamins. Just ridiculous stuff. They are doing this with a stolen cc.
