After reading thru the thread, I was amaze at the effect placed by the scammer to achieve their goal is relantless. I also notice that among the address used there is a few repeated words which would have identified the scammer address and also the name of the scammer.
And after thinking thru, why no one have tried to beat them in their own game. If they can fake a receipt so can we. It be fun. :bsmilie:
