I couldn't help myself

If you can believe it, that sofa scammer emailed me AGAIN this morning. So I had a little fun with him today. Here is the email thread...

Bill:Hello Erin,
I need you to have the funds wired via money gramm and not westernunion this time around. Cause money gramm is close to my mover and the transfer charges too is lesser. I believe you can easily have the funds wired via money gramm. The information needed to have the funds wired is the same okay. I will be expecting the transfer details as soon as you have it sent.

Erin: Bill,I already wired the money, your mover should have it by now. The last time your mover phoned me I told him the money was available. He is picking up the sofa this afternoon.

Bill:Hello Erin,
I need you to forward all the transfer details to me. The actualamount sent, senders name, MTCN??? I await your response.

Erin: I gave all the info to your mover; I no longer have it

Bill: Dont know what you're talking about Erin, My mover did'nt have any money. I he does, he will surely let me know. So i need to get this clear now.

Erin: don't know what to tell you; I gave him the money already. You need to follow-up with him.

Bill: Let me know how you gave him the information?? when? how much?
Am getting worried now.

Erin: I'd be worried as well.

Bill: Let me know how you gave my mover the western union information???
Westernunion says"We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information" I checked the the status online now. your name Erin Fast as sender's name.

Erin: Thats odd because when I check it says "The amount wired has been delivered to the recipient".I'm sorry if your mover isn't trustworthy but you told me to send it to him.

Bill:What name you send the funds to? Please let me know

Erin: A man by the name of Dove Clark picked up my sofa and that is who has the money per your request

okay,
a.) you are wickedly mean
b.) this is laugh out loud funny
c.) you clearly do not watch "Law & Order" as much as I have...this is the kind of thing where the psycho tracks down the smart alleck and kills her....you would be the smart alleck.

you are one brave and mean girl.
LOVE IT!
