Well this morning I got an email from my good friend requesting for me to wire him some money in the states from his investment accounts. I obviously don't hold his investment accounts but decided to play with the Scammer for a bit. I now have his address and don't know what I should do. Should I send him a fake package with incredible high value so he has to pay duty on it?

Be careful. It's not as likely if this is an American scam, but a lot of scam operations (especially the Nigerian ones, etc.) are run by the mob and those aren't the kind of people you want to piss off, especially if they know your real name from your email already.
For the rest of CP, you may as well take the rest of the day off and start reading some of the stories on this site. They're long but legendary:

Good Morning (scammer),
As you are aware all International transfers are handled in cash. Please provide me with the amount you require and a secure address that will have someone present to sign for the package. I will have a discrete package shipped to you containing the cash as soon as you confirm the details.
Hope you had a great weekend

I will need to know the cash balance in all the accounts. Please acknowledge the receipt of this email.
Thanks.

We are only able to deposit directly to your attached Canadian bank account that was provided when we opened up the account. However like I stated before I can have the funds to you by tomorrow morning. We have never had an issue in the past with our packages being received in a timely fashion and are fully insured.
Me
what if i provide you a third party account, because i'm currently not around to do the transfer myself if you make the deposit to my account, so kindly please help me out with the transfer and the information that will be needed
Many thanks
Scammer
Scammer,
Our systems do not let us alter your banking information once the account is set up. We do this for strict privacy concerns so that we can help shelter your identity. Part of our full service agreement is to help you in situations like this. The best course of action would be to send you the funds directly. How much were your requiring? If you are currently in the US which I am assuming is the case since you wanted to put the funds into a US bank I propose we send $9,900.00 this way we can discreetly send the cash without any hassles at the border. If you require more than that we can do 2 transfers. Again our services are backed by the highest security protocols and your information is safe in those regards. If you are still worried about your identity being known we can have the funds sent “care of” to a hotel that you may be staying at and use your room number instead of your name.
Please let me know
Me
i actually want you to kindly please help me to send $8,900USD which is going to be transferred to US so i can kindly please tell me what will be needed i mean the beneficiary information
Thank you so much
Scammer
Scammer,
Please provide me with the following so I can process the transaction:
1.Name or “Care of” Instructions
2.Address * please note someone will have to sign for the package so either yourself to be present or someone like the front desk host at a hotel*
I will take care of everything else on our end and get these funds sent out.
Me
Scammer,
Just following up to see if you still wanted the transfer to happen. The cutoff time is 11:00 to have our order in so that it is delivered by tomorrow morning.
Please let me know

I don't mind posting a Radom scammers address if it could possibly stop someone in future getting scammed. Does CP bigwigs care or does it violate any rules? If it violates some rules I will take it down
Probably not a good time for that since it would hurt local businesses that spend their money making the pizzas and delivering them and not getting paid. It isn't their fault this person is trying to steal peoples hard earned savings
