Fun with scammer

Not sure the appropriate forum

I have a boat for sale in a few places including here

I've gotten a scammer emailing me. Probably the "I paid too much cash the check and send the difference" scam.

Its for a 38' sailboat and he's telling me his buddy will pick it up for *shipping* when I cash the check.

I'm trying to have some fun with him

Suggestions?

Re: Fun with scammer

have him send you the check. Then say you lost it. Have them send you another check. Basically just waste all of his time. That way he can’t do it to other people
