It could work short term, however it would not be worth it in the long run. Consider if you managed to scam a million dollars and spent it. Then you think crime really does pay. Then you get caught and spend 10 years in prison. This means you got a million dollars for a 10 year gig. Prison is a 24 hour a day ordeal. You essentially made $11.41 per hour for your scam. Oh, but then you have to pay restitution so you didn't really get a million dollars so you didn't really make $11.41 per hour. After restitution and several other nasties related to prison, you would be better off working at McDonalds. So in a nutshell, no this scam idea will not work.

They can trace the money trail.

You would have to go through a few loops (offshore, fake IPs) in order to have it not come back to you.

I would say don't do it because it's...

A.) Illegal

B.) Immoral

C.) Will get you in trouble more than it is worth.

Paypal have your name and home address, your credit card details etc. Minor details that the Fraud Squad would be interested in.

hi,

first of all I am not trying to this scam. I am wondering if it will work.

right,

first I create wix account with fake emai and stuff. then I make my free website with it. then i a put a iphone5s for sale and make it look like real and legit with other electronics. the buyer can only buy with paypal. I publish the website.

I advertise the website on adfly. so thousands of uk people see it. when I receive the money. I close the website.
