Brilliant - it's always good to see some-one getting one-up on the scammers

daffy4u · 11-02-2008, 02:14 PM

I loved that!

(hope Jeff is okay)

I read this and it's more exciting than watching a James Bond movie, and should be assembled as an EBOOK, WITH PERMISSION, OF COURSE!

Hahahahahahaahaha.

That poor, stupid F***K**

It's good to see a dishonest person get what's coming to him, something that doesn't often happen in my country (U.S.A.)

Ah, the P-P-P-PowerBook. A classic.

That was beyond great!! I especially loved how people all over got involved; sending in donations and the like.

Man ... what a beautiful F-U to the scammer. Actually, this would make a great movie.

This is great! Love to see the scammers pay a price. Wish we could "pay back" more of them.

That was excellent.I loved the attention to detail in the P-P-P-Powerbook :-)
That reminds me of another excellent scam the scammer story from awhile ago where they got a Nigerian scammer to carve a wooden replica of a Commodore 64.
