FYI – I was taken by this person in a scam involving a high-priced comic book. He also asked me to transfer money to a bank account in Brooklyn. If you have any more information about this person, I would be interested in hearing from you.

I like this idea… turn up the heat a little more. Tell him you can bring cash with you for the full amount and see what he does. 
It’s been a little too long at this stage. If they guy hasn’t smelled a rat by now, I’d be very surprised.
I’d be interested to see any other examples of fraudsters at work. We might even keep a post open for reports of fraud. All for one and one for all!!!
By the way, on March 23rd he wrote:
John!
What are you trying to do!? there isn´t any transfer in my account so far, I´m sure there was a problem, talk to your bank again and get back to me. Chavione
You have to love him!!
Confess up and tell him you are actually an undercover agent for the IRS, which by the way has declared war this year on eBay profiteers. You can read all about it on the eBay discussion board. Big news. Tell him you now have all the contact info you need to get him, and thanks. 
That would be cruel!! 
Yes it would, and rightly deserved I say.
This is good. It reminds me of that website, maybe it’s the one someone already mentioned, where the guy writes back to Nigerian scam-spammers.

Yes, I spent an entire afternoon reading that one, and laughing my backside off… too bad I didn’t lose any weight… 
Please let me know if you have the auction number for the ended auction. I cannot find the auction he scammed me with, but if you have it I could at least find out what his e-Bay member name is, and I may be able to get some info from e-Bay. The police have been able to give me some info they have about him, but I still cannot find his e-Bay member name.
Thanks for any help.
