Got a scammer emailing me..How far should I take it?

#1
I have my Tote Gote on Craigslist , and I got another one of the typical scammer b*llshit emails. I normally cus them out and tell them to go pound salt ect.... But I was thinking about having some fun. First thing is I play along and let them spend the money to overnite me a check UPS, and then I kick the living shit out of the so called shipper when they show up at my house for the bike. What do you guys think. :hammer:

Here is the email......

These guys make me tired ,i usually get 3 or 4 replys all worded the same but from different names and email accounts within minutes of each other. I'm glad some people have so much time to waste i just wish they wouldn't waste mine and yours .:hammer::hammer::hammer::censure:

Dad has I think 18K so far in checks from them. He gets the check but never deposit them. It's funny because he insists that the check be overnighted, So he gets 20 bucks out of them from the overnight service.

Send them the name of your local police sargent, and have them mail the check to him at the station house. Ask them to make sure they add a note, giving their full contact information, and what it's for. :hammer:

I have got a couple checks from them, using the name Haywood Jablome. They are not going to pick the bike up, they send extra money, then you cash the check and pay the shipper. A few days latter you get a call from the bank saying the check was fake.

They got one of my Daughters friends for a few hundred dollars when she was selling a car.

...we got one of those "crazy" houses in the neighborhood where I live. Nestled amongst all the quaint cape cods and neatly groomed ranch style homes is an abomination which rises up out of the ground like the Munster's house. Overgrown with trees...all kinds of crap strewn about ...major appliances like washing machines, refrigerators and old televisions only enhance the beauty of the front "yard" . The front door is blown off the hinges and stays wide open 365 days a year...the "people" inside are so scary that the town officials won't even go there . When the mailman drives by he fires the mail over the fence with a rocket launcher and floors it. THAT's the address I'm going to give the spammers for the "pick-up"..haha they will never be heard from or seen again.
