Default Scamming a Scammer

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?

Mail him socks and claim they are consumer electronics.

Sure, a package filled with 30 pounds of dog poop.

Hit up a couple dog parks and a cemetery or two, to get your fill.

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:

Wouldn't this be illegal? You're knowingly providing false information to customs officials.

Another way to tell if it's a scammer is by his constant use of the word "kindly".

You should mail a piece of paper along with it and written in large, bolded letters "kindly go f*** yourself". Without the censoring of course haha.

Cost is 80 dollars to send an overnight envelope to Panama City. Might not be worth it just to send a letter that says FU

Even with the use of spoiler tags, that address now shows this thread when you do a Google search.

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
