I'm glad you have had success.

I receive 2-5 calls a week from people who fall for these scams and occasionally from people who are savvy to the scams and they want me to go arrest the person in another state for trying to scam them. All want me to get their money and/or stuff back. I always advise them to deal only in cash and in person somewhere other than their house (if possible).
