Not sure what the scam would have been, but I do love messing with them.
@jerry I had someone try the car wrap scam on me a year or so ago. I played them for quite a while. They sent me cashiers checks to “my apartment” (Wrigley Field) and then I said send it to “my work” (FBI field office in Chicago).
Then I said I got it but had to drive to Windsor Canada to deposit it. They texted me throughout my “drive” across the border.
Lots of fun.
