Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That is indeed deeply cool. And disgusting. But deeply cool. And it's not doing a thing to change my fear and loathing of all things wasply either.

Heh.
Did they say what the best approach was? I was torn between sending the guy a profanity-laden email, or just ignoring him. I chose the latter, and it seemed to work.
I thought about notifying law enforcement, but at that point the guy had yet to do anything illegal.

I'm not sure I get the scam - is it money laundering, or something?

It's where they send you a fake money order, cashier's check, etc for more than the amount of the item and shipping, so you refund them the difference.

...and, of course, you end up out the money when the instrument proves to be fake.

So people actually send a refund check without cashing the one they received first? I guess there is one born every minute.
