This sounds like the guy - the guy I spoke to said he relocated to Miami, former LSU grad and his dad, just deceased, was a professor in Architecture at LSU. Basically the process he described was that to go to grocery store with western union/ in this case went to minute money in Miami and that money would not be released until the FedEx guy showed me the envelope with the tickets, an authenticated letter from LSU and a parking pass and once I reviewed that I would sign a release form that he had to release the money. What happended is the money was released immediately when did the minute money transaction, he gave us fake fedex tracking number as well.


What is this guy's screen name? If he did it once then he'll try again. The admins can look at IP addresses so if he comes back under a different screen name but posts from the same computer, they can catch him before he scams again.

Your story pisses me off so much. Crooks that take advantage of people's passions piss me off to no end.

Unfortunately, I do not know, if I did I certaintly would report it as I do not want other to have to deal with this. When I started my thread, I included my personal email address and it went from there.

I've heard it easy to get around using the same ip address. Don't know for sure though
