A tech man's joy - wasting scammers time

I initially got started doing this kind of work teaching Senior Citizens computer skills way back in 1998.  One of the more infuriating things I had to deal with is people scamming them.  There are countless scams out there.  I am in the middle of a fun one.  I put a Macbook Pro up on Letgo.  In short, a scammer wants me to mail it to his "son" (in the military, a typical scam, plays on your love of the troops).  He is willing to pay me $100 on top of my price for shipping and for helping him get his military son a computer.    He is sending the money to western union for me to pick up.  I am screen shotting the the whole conversation so that the world can see how these scams work.  Will update shortly.......

I wont bore you with details, it has been hours of fun dragging this Nigerian scam artist to hell and back.  He thinks he has me hooked, but I keep dragging out the scenario frustrating him.  I was going to screen shot, but this is hours of back and forth.  Here is something you should read instead, straight from Western Union!
