··ΩF InvestiGatorWait a minute! I know Terry. He's the London representative for a Nigerian Prince. We once corresponded about me parking 50 million of the Prince's dollars in my bank account until he could get to the US to retrieve them.

·I doubt you will hear anything tomorrow from this clown when he gets the rock. What can he say, touché? If I was a scammer I would just slink away and live for another day, and another scam.

Especially when he's hung over from living it up in anticipation of his big score. Let's hope he's in cahoots with a buyer for the watch and a squabble will ensue as the buyer will suspect our hero Terry sold the piece to someone else 😁

·The sad reality is he probably steals enough money doing this that he doesn't care about the rock, and it didn't cost him a dime.
I'd caution against involving the USPS in any future pranks. They might not appreciate the irony quite so much as watch collectors. This was the UK post? They might not find the humor, either.
But I fully sympathize with anyone who has been victimized, and I know it must feel good to give the bad guys the finger for a change.
You hit the nail on the head here I think. It is a noble effort by the OP and we all cheer for him, but how much of a surprise would it be if he were the one to get in trouble? And these scammer scum thrive of off large volume. They realize most people will reject it, but they find the suckers out there everyday. How else do you explain the constant barrage of digital scams across every area of interest?

That’s why the nigerian prince modus operandi never dies. And they havent even bothered to significantly change the story. Theyre not after people who can discern such an obvious scam. Sadly, there’s a portion of our population who are gullible (plus at least some level of greed) enough to get duped.

well, at the post office, the counter staff member asked what was inside, I said a rock. A rock? she replied...
Yes a rock! It’s a joke for someone that tried scamming me today!
fair play she said and processed the package, took my cash for it, then threw it in the mail sack!
I will also add... there is only us lot, me and the postal clerk who knows what’s in the ya package, so them getting in a huff is pretty slim.

For a while there I thought you said you got in the sack with the female staff after she took your cash. 😀
Seriously, is there an ETA? Is the package trackable?

Damn, she should have said "rock on". This is entertainment gold. Well played OP.

·So far this has been very genteel - and very funny. But what I would like to see is Mr Terry White receiving his package and shortly afterwards having his knees busted with a baseball bat.

·“Terry, I could not possibly explain how a rock was in that package I so carefully sent to you. I even sent you pictures of the Omega watch. Something terribly went wrong. We shall surely get to the bottom of this ASAP”
