Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed reading the conversation as much as I enjoyed having it. I was a little hesitant to post it, mainly because I guess I wasn't sure how it would be accepted, I guess, but all in all I'm glad I did. I also quickly realized that screenshotting and cropping all those messages to flow together was a lot more of a daunting task than I thought it would be.

Also, as I said in the post, I've intended on entering a lot of contests and yours was the first that finally got me to break that bubble, so thank you! :) I look forward to seeing your posts and contests in the future, and look forward to reading some of the other scammers stories that I haven't yet.

On another note, I can confirm on the Nigeria thing. I once brought an eBay package into my local post office and they looked at the address and explained to me that the area of Nigeria was going through really high scamming traffic, and that I should wait a day. Sure enough, the funds were gone the next day. Also, I called out one of the other guys from my recent Craigslist adventure, and he admitted to trying to scam me, acknowledged my "skills at identifying scams"(LOL), and even went on to ask if I wanted to join him on his scam, therefore still trying to scam me. Anyways, during all of this, he said that he does it with a network of friends in their hometown in Nigeria. I have absolutely nothing against Nigeria. I know it has an immensely high population with the majority of it living off of very little, so it makes sense that so many scams might originate from there.

Anyways, thank you again so much. I had a lot of fun with this. I can't wait for more! Cheers!
