How much you sending? What bank are you sending the check from? Why can't you send to p.o. box? Remember you need to add for postage so total is $140.

Forgive me I've never heard to a courier service not delivering to a P.O. Box. Maybe you should get a new one. In the meantime. Here it is my address like you said. Please send me the money. My assistant will take over as I am going on holiday.
Keith B. Bolcar
11000 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 1700
Los Angeles, CA 90024
So how much did you send? What is your address?

Now it's worth mentioning that The address I gave "Mr. Miller" is actually the FBI field office address in Los Angeles. Let's see if Mr. Miller takes the bait and sends a fake check to the FBI.

HOW COULD IT BE THE WRONG ZIP CODE? I SENT IT TO YOU, ARE YOU INCAPABLE OF TRANSPOSING DIGITS? WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? HOW MUCH DID YOU SEND? YOU NEED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS. ITS TAKEN YOU TWO WEEKS TO GET THE MONEY TO ME? HOW COULD YOU HAVE TAKEN SO LONG. I AM GIVING YOU 24 HRS TO GIVE ME A TRACKING NUMBER OR I SELL TO NEXT BUYER. YOU ARE BLOWING THIS DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally CL scambuster's pressure tactics have worked. My jedi mind tricks succeeded and Mr. Miller actually sent a fake check overnight to the FBI.

Mr. Miller has his fake courier company contact me asking that I wire them the remaining balance via Western Union or Money Gram. Mr. Miller has yet to give me his real address, instead he has someone else contact me and asks to wire them money. I quickly tell them to kick rocks and I have not heard from them since.

In short BEWARE OF ROBERT MILLER and his tactics. His pathetic scam has now been exposed.
