Wrong To Scam A Scammer?

tough choice, I want to tell you to take him for all he's got, but like racerXGirl said, it's wire fraud and u can do federal big boy jail time. The guy's just not worth it.

I don't know if there's any authority you can tell about what the guy's doing. I do hate to think he's gunna get away with it.

Karma's a b****, and it would come for you.

So long story short, some guy is attempting to scam my buddy on a $3500 car, online. Won't give his address, he's "out of town" the car is in storage, etc. It's a scam a mile away. So now he "has someone else interested in it" and wants a $1000 deposit to hold the car. Like I said, we know it's a scammer, but want to have some fun. So, I thought we should ask for his bank info to do a wire transfer of the money (he's played totally stupid at this point and the guy actually thinks he's gonna get the full $3500) and then if we get the bank info, is it ethical to take $500 or so if it's there?

I dunno, not saying it would, but it might be nice to scam a scammer., I realize at that point you'd be no better than him, but seriously though. What are your thoughts?

I love to say give him a taste of his own medicine but not this way.
