Actually, most of them are overseas. THAT's how they get away with it. My officers have traced three of them to Balkan states in the former Soviet bloc. No enforcement available there.

This guy, however, appears to BE reachable. Call your local PD fraud unit and see if you can get them fired up. I'll bet you'll be surprised at the enthusiastic response you get. There is also a federally-owned website you can report on: Internet Crime Complaint Center

I sold a Nigerian a non-existant horse a few years ago. Would you believe he scammed me with a counterfeit check? I was appalled!

This is interesting. Last week I received an email through Craigs List about my T@B that I had listed locally on the list. Fortunately my trailer was already sold and gone, but this potential "buyer" also appeared to have a Minnesota address, MN, which struck me as odd. This "buyer" indicated my asking price was too high and wanted a copy of my original sales invoice. Another oddity was the fact that I received this email through Craigs List even though I am certain I deleted my listing after the purchase was completed.
