Complains that he never received the item and hopes you weren't smart enough to require a signature?

No, apparently they send you a PayPal-looking email that people don't pay attention to. Instead of checking their actual PayPal account.

He's looking in the playbook to see what to answer now.

Often times it’s not about item but getting your account info


My wiring instructions are nothing but routing and account number.

Same as what’s on my check.

If something suspicious or foreign entity is looking for funds they need my SWIFT number.

I do multiple foreign and domestic transactions a month through different accounts and in 35 years my company’s account has never been compromised

Gotta know what your doing.

when he says a 750 check works then send him a link of the same phone, brand new, which costs less than 750?

When he agrees to $750 and asks for your email send him a link to 2 Girls 1 Cup.

Tell him you just got another offer equal to his.

Ask him what he does for a living because you want to be sure it goes to someone who’ll get the most use out of it

That's a little unreasonable. Go for $587. Up the ante to make sure he's serious, but not by an amount that is out of reach.
Throw in a "my wife and I actually found this really cute (whatever the frick) at a (whatever the frick store) and it's $587. I'll take that, and you've got a deal, pal!"

Can the FBI ever for once just do a documentary on finding one of these mfers and raiding their shite just to give us all the satisfaction of seeing their punk asses go down?

Serious question because I don’t craigslist: how is this scam performed?

So say you go along with it...you give a mailing address. They either send a check that clears or they don’t. How do they gain anything?
