Jude is still tryin! His new email..bashcomolingtoon677@gmail

I listed some items on Craigslist and got the “i’m interested” bite. Google the name and came across this site so I decided to play along for a bit.

I responded that I still had the item and then got the “I’ll send you an echeck, blah blah blah.”

So, I sent the following response….think he’ll answer?

–Sounds great!!!

But, since I’m not an idiot, I did have enough sense to do a little research and I know that this is your usual lame scam.

Maybe, if you weren’t a stupid asshole, you would have sense enough to use a different name than you were using 3 years ago.

Why don’t you just tell everyone that you are a Nigerian Prince…you’d have better luck!

Good riddance, douchebag.

Wow, everyone, I’m continually amazed at how much attention this blog post of mine gets. It’s both exciting (for me) and sad (for you)!

Wow! Thank goodness I googled the name Jude Winberly and saw the link to this page in the #1 spot! It sounded like a scam to me but wasn’t sure. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Also, your replies to him were just good comedy!

“Jude Winberly” just sent me an e-mail reply to a posting of mine. I didn’t reply to him yet because I ALWAYS Google names of people or their e-mails coming to me from Craigslist just in case of stupidness like this. Hence, how I came to this site and learned that this isn’t going to be a legit response!

As an FYI, the e-mail he is using this time is basholingtoon677@gmail.com

BEWARE OF JAMES DAVIDS,HE WILL BUY YOUR ITEM IN A SECOND,EVEN ASK HOW YOUR FAMILY IS DOING. BUT, CAN ONLY PAY WITH A U.S. CASHIERS CHECK. BUT, IT WILL BE WRITTEN OVER THE AMOUNT OF PURCHASE DUE TO THERE BEING A MINIMAL “CHECK WRITTING AMOUNT” AND MY OLYMPUS STYLUS 8000 AT $155.00 IS TO SMALL OF AN AMOUNT. BUT,I WAS TO MAIL HIM THE REST. BUT OF COURSE I GET TO KEEP AN EXTRA $100.00 FOR MY TROUBLE MAKING THE TOTAL AMNT OF MY SELL $255.00 HE RECEIVES A COOL $1,000 BUCKS, HE’S EASY TO FIND JUST POST AN ITEM FOR SALE AROUND A COUPLE OF HUNDRED DOLLARS AND YOU WILL HEAR FROM HIM WITHIN 24 HOURS THEY MOVE QUICK. PLEASE FORWARD THIS INFO TO MAKE AS MANY PEOPLE AWARE OF THIS AND NOT HIS VICTIMS

I just received an email from this jude winberly also, winberly0@hotmail.com..I went ahead and copied the above and sent it in a reply (to let them know they needed respond, I already had the next message ready to go!)…Isn’t there any agency to report these too, like the FBI? I mean that is banking fraud isn’t it? Stealing account numbers? You would think they would go after these people…I also had one yesterday from

Thanks for responding, I’m ok with the price. I would like to send

get the check out asap. Need your full name and address,zip code and

Dude must think that no one would suspect such a thing… a simple Google search found me this page (Thanks Rob!!!!)

From: winberly0@hotmail.com

Sounds Good. I’m very busy with work and other important obligations, I will proceed
with payment via E-check. E-check is just a means to send bank check to your e-mail instead of mailing it to you, as I can’t get around to mail a check at the moment. You will only need a business check paper to print from your e-mail and have it cashed or deposited. You will be able to purchase the business check paper at staples,walmart,office max or any stationery store at cost of $20. I will reimburse you with the cost of supplies to your asking price. I’m in no rush with you till funds clears before pick. I will await your email with the following information so that I can send the check to you once you have supplies.

1) Full Name(2) Address and(3) Phone Number.
Get back to me asap.
Thanks.
Jude.

This is another email I got most recently: The guys is till on ………….

Hello ,
I would have prefer to visit you and pick up the item but i work as a crew with an airline service and we are currently on a trip now which might take me weeks to return back home and i want the item to be moved with some other household items that i am planning to move to my new house .
You can visit http://www.iversacheck.com to know more about echeck and proceed immediately to any nearby stationary stores or office depot to purchase a blank business check paper which is sold for about $20 then get back to me when you have it so that can send you the check and instructions on how to print it.

Thanks
