I recently found out i was about to be scammed - im selling my camera and was negotiating with someone who , after i requested $560, said she sent $680 (for shipping and such) to my paypal account, a spam message showed up saying I have to give a shipping confirmation to get the money. I told her I shipped it just to fuck with her/him but I need some fresh ideas..preferably somehow tricking the scammer that the cops are on them

holy hell, move on with your fucking life. You're not gonna get back at them or teach them a lesson. If you list something on CL or any other site scammers just come with the territory. Delete their emails and don't think twice about it.

Tell them shipping is $100 and that you need that money to ship out. If they send you a $100 (thinking they are getting a $500 camera for $100) use some of the money to send them something stupid (like a burger king crown considering one of them is most likely the prince of Nigeria). Scamming a stupid african scammer is the fucking best. Also:

Put some rocks weighing as much as the camera in a box, then add some Bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax poisoning will really ruin their day.

send the money with a note saying that you know what they are doing, you just wanted to help them out.

Exactly. Scam the person that makes their living scamming people. They sure as hell wouldn't file a paypal claim. Idiot.
