> That's on odd admission from the scammer, when they could have said nothing, Whenever I read stuff like this, I end up feeling like I'm not imaginative enough to scam people. Also, this isn't the same thing, but ... years ago, when Craigslist was running strong, I responded to a CL post to purchase a used laptop. The CL post was really well done, quite detailed (I remember it had photos and talked about how it was in tip-top shape except for the screen having a dead pixel in the lower left). But the price was juuuuust a little too good to be true. I eventually emailed the guy and said something like, "This feels like a scam." To my surprise, he came clean and asked me not to report it to CL!!! Humanity often confuses me.
