He placed an advertisement that he sells AAdvatage miles $9 per 1000 miles, since I have a very low income i decided to go for this in order to be able to fly a vacation. I emailed him, and he emailed back with his name and phone number, later he emailed me his ID: drivers license, and a snapshot of his AAdvantage account, making it sound very accurate. First, he wanted I should pay by check, I agreed, but he them offered me to pay by metro pack. Finally, he told me that if I'll wire the money to his account in his fathers business in UK, he would give it for much cheaper ($1500).
Since I have spoken already with him over an hour, it sounded very accurate, so I went ahead with that. After wiring, he started claiming that he didn't receive it, so I had my bank do a trace on it, and they found out that it got hit by South african rands.
After all he emailed me notifying that he is a scammer, and showed very detailed how he did the whole scam.
