I love the fact that you are jerking this guy around. Keep it going as long as you can. Keep giving excuses and keep pulling his chain. Maybe he will be run over by a bus on one of his trips to get his "money".

I did some research on the address and it is a valid address...

Anyone in the PA area wanna jump in?

I traced the address to a phone number which belongs to...

Grace K Krupakenna
814-382-1626

I called her and it was in fact her but no jack lives there. I pretended as if I was calling from UPS and asked her if a package came in for Jack and she said she doesn't know any Jack...I m assuming they are only concerned with the western union money and not the part itself...

You must be registered for see images

Wow, that's convoluted. I guess people must fall for it. My replie would be, "Send me the money for the item and deal with your shipper yourself." Of course, I would never hear from him again after that.


Assuming they are not routing thru a proxy server, which they would be very stupid not to do. Even the lowliest spammers are fluent in using proxies. So they could be based in US and just routing through a Nigerian proxy.

You are correct, however I don't think the Nigerians are smart enough to use proxies. Since the western union stuff is going to happen in PA and I m sure someone will come and pick up the money I wonder if I can get authorities involved to get this guy when he goes to pick up money. I would need help from a PA member though...

I think you're right. I bet the FBI would be interested in this.
I believe you are looking at Mail Inspector and Secret Service jurisdiction here (but I am not an expert and the FBI field office could steer one in the correct direction) In any event, the real players are in Africa and unreachable. Nothing gonna happen.
