Well, not quite. One of my hobbies is playing with conmen and scammers on line, you know the type who email you saying that they have a trunk of money and they will send it to you, all you need to do is pay a small fee. Well now, I have come across an email from some one wanting to buy my kidney for $150k - all I need to do is pay a small admin fee to the hospital. I am going to tease them for a while, play with them, build up their expectations that I will pay and then - fail to pay for a whole host of reasons. I love playing with these scammers!

Pretend you are Arvind Dixit and tell them you're paying as fast as you can and thank them for their patience and understanding.

Darn, I might be in the market for a kidney - depending on what the doc tells me next week.

can you arrange a meetup then tell the cops about it?

Nope, as these scams originate in countries where the police turn a blind eye or are over stretched - or don't have dedicated fraud teams. I play with about 30 or so conmen a day!

String them along for a while and then eventually tell them that you're a bit busy right now and will have to respond to them after you've had your dialysis session!!
