Some kid tried to scam me on eBay for a $100 item and I had him 100% believe I was with the "Internet Police Agency of the FBI" and had him crapping in his pants. Wife was ROTFL when I showed her the emails. He was dumb enough to send me his real address and used his real name. Admittedly I had actually fallen for it but I wasn't worried because eBay immediately blocked it.
