the best way to have fun with these turkeys is to keep them in the dark about how you knwo its a scam.....or they will just keep getting better. A visit to the address on the money order by the police may be a giggle. Near as I can figure he has the funds sent to a dead address wrong name , right address, then an accomplice mails him the funds....or He has access to the original address mail box.

As mentioned on other forums, have him take a photo of the item with your e-mail address written on a piece of paper placed on top of the item. If he can not do that, he does not actually have the item. Also, google his/her address, see if it is a vacant lot or run down apt building. Google the e-mail address and see if it is associated with any other scams. Ask if a friend who is law enforcement in their town can stop by and look at it for you. Any and all these are a good start. If it smells "fishy" hold on to your wallet. Don't feed the scammers. Insisting that the payment be sent with "tracking" is a red flag. But, if you are sure it is a scam, then it can be fun to play with them.
