I can't believe no one has posted this, one of the best stories I've read in a while about how a scammer got scammed himself.
P-P-P-Powerbook
Fucking amazing. That's priceless right there. I think AG can beat SA though if we put our hearts into it... we just need a victim.
Glenn...
rotfl, i need to send this to my brother! he does a lot of ebay transactions. he'd get a real kick out of this!
I had seen pictures of the binder Powerbook that the guy Jeff put together to send the scammer, but I never read the whole story. Thanks for the link War Lord, that was hilarious. 😃
Yeah, that was great. Sweet sweet justice. 😊
It just goes to show you the power of a global community. If you throw a problem at 50,000 people around the world, you can be sure you'll get some great stuff. It's all about the numbers.
I got a real kick out of that... I can't wait for the conclusion!
ROFL!!! That just made my day. :lol:

Not too mention how pissed a lot of people are about scammers and spammers ruining the internet.
I don't know if I wouldn't gone through all the trouble he did to get back at that scammer. I probably would've just sent an email saying, "F#$K OFF!" like Jeff said he was going to do at first, haha
I want that powerbook!

Really? Because I happen to have one and it's practically new. I'll sell it to you for $2100 + Shipping to London.

For some reason there are very few things that warm my heart more than stories like this. Something about the deceiver becoming the deceived really makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
This was amazing to watch unfold. It's almost like being in the middle of helms deep, you know that something epic is going on just watching it.
And actually, some people suspect that the P-P-Powerbook's hosting site got shut down for 4 hours because of a DDoS attack from the scammer. Or it could have been because it got slashdotted.
What a story.
Ain't real life grand.
Wish I could see the pics he talked about.
but SA wants $ to register and I'm too cheep.
