So funny...

My cousin is trying to sell his '06 CBR1000RR on craigslist. Needless to say, he had somebody (scammer) email him about it. The first email was hard to tell if it was a scam or not -but it was obvious after 1 or 2 more emails. We decided to string him along and see how far he could take it.

Basically, I told him to do exactly what your OP says - answer his questions with 1 or 2 word replies - that don't actually answer the question. Because we all know how annoying that is.

Question: "What is your paypal info?"
Answer: "Yes, I have paypal?"

Question: "What is your address?"
Answer: "I live in Vermont?"

We had alot of fun with this guy.

We acted like we didn't know how to use a computer / paypal - asked stupid questions like "do we need to become paypal friends" and "do I need to provide straps for shipping" Eventually, we just started making up things that were wrong with the bike and upping the price..

The bike was originally listed for $6,xxx and after 100 emails the guy still wanted to buy it for $8,900 - with a cracked frame / salvaged title / scatched plastics / etc.

He did finally end up not replying to anymore emails when we told him to send the money via paypal to ruserious@gofyourself.com
