I mess with those guys all the time!! SO FUN! Once in awhile I'm selling something on Craigslist, and they try n' scam me...so, I waste their time, get 'em to send me their fake cashier's check next day air, then I lead 'em on for awhile, and call them out! Its nerdy fun, but fun nonetheless. I even used a name like Adam Scamalot once the whole time, the guy never noticed.
