If you can/will describe the basic payment details.
Just curious but never heard of him

Whats fishy ? explain.

Just don’t send the item until funds clear. Check, money order, PayPal, other online payment service etc. There are many trusted payment services today: PayPal, Cahapp, Zelle, just to name a few.

I personally trust the online payment more than a check or money order.

Is the scam a secret ?

Sure must be! Dale does seem to want to share details. Maybe his original question could not be answered….”anybody know I guy named…”

Oh well…

I like to play along with the phone scammers and waste as much of their time as possible.

I have heard that some off shore scammers have found ways to use USA area codes and are able to have the charges reversed so you can be charged for long distance foreign calls. Don't know if true or not.

That may be true but most scammers are now targeting cell phones as the use of them has become ubiquitous. It’s not a worry for me as I carry an unlimited rate cellular plan.

I’ve actually found that the scammers hang up on me if they think I’m not for real. I guess if you spend all your time scamming people you get pretty good at identifying the live ones.
