check that out, I grant you one big time digital laugh , LOLZ infinity

I'm kinda shocked that our forum havent heard anything about this, kind of a all geek squad "computer James Bonds" if you will team work to get a scammer. Maybe we haves I just did a seach for it and could find anything so, here ya go.




"It started as a scam, and ended up the greatest prank ever"

[DaWiper]

LOL! Great teamwork

[bchur83]

That was sweet. Scamming the scammer, LOL

[HawainPanda]

lmao..awsome!

[niceguyeddie]

i concur. absolute brilliance.

[Sentential]

MwhHAHAHAHAHA!:D ...ahhh thats soo funny. Gotta love a double-cross

[9mmCensor]

That was the funniest thing ever, although not very ethical, it is shameful to have to stoop so low to get back at those in this world who already have stooped so low.

[Mr.Rotory]

My favorite was the way everything was labeled on the laptop, ie, the mouse on the bottom had some tape stuck to it that read LASER, and on the side of the folder, usb, circle plug, and my favorite out of that, on the bottom right corner it reads "This is Real". hahahaha, glad you guys enjoyed it.

[ashenfang]

oh man, i just read that whole thing! That is great, I wonder if there will be anymore to come of it?

[dehinson]

It took a great deal of teamwork to pull it off. You all should be proud to have made such an effort to teach a well needed lesson. I just wish there was a way that the scammer could be shutdown for good.

It's people like those, that ruin the internet experience. :mad:

Keep Up The Good Work!

that is is some funny stuff there. thats one reason id dont buy of ebay. too many ppl out there ruin it for ppl. this guy could of lost alot if he had not looked in to things. but most ppl wont even look they will just sent the stuff

[donny_paycheck]

That was one of the best threads ever on SA.

If anybody's wondering, the $10 reg fee is well worth it.

The part I loved was the mouse with the "blue tooth". He drew a nice big smile on it and colored all the teeth blue :D.

I think I might have to sign up for that forum looks like it could be a lot of fun.

[Genjix]

that was the funniest thing ive ever read. and those pictures. OMG> LOLOL

[bdomz]

great story there. I still have faith in ebay though. I've only had 1 minor problem with defective hardware and the guy sent me a replacement asap. My ebay experiences have all been positive, I just get annoyed when people forget to leave me feedback when I'm the seller.

[Kbird]

great read for lunch break thanks:D

[bluediamond]

This was a great read...I loved the "homemade" laptop!!!!!

[Xplos!ve]

lol that was hilarious nice job for finding that really made me laugh :D:D

[Chixofnix]

circle!
fire wire!
who knows?!?

LMAO... that's so great!!! gotta find those pics in the monster sized original thread :D

[mrgreenjeans]

Touche'.

[DayUSeX]

lol yeah that was sooo good. Im really happy that that sucker got scammed, maybe he will thnk twice before he pulls a stunt like that again.

[ares350]

funny stuff. ebays not that bad. its rather simple, no matter what; NEVER sell to someone outside of the country. not without atleast half the payment in hand before hand. or you choosing the escrow service.

its not hard to not get screwed. paypal is excellent as well. they really protect the buyer, some might say too much. but alas, as long as your the buyer, its the best.

[amanojyaku]

I LOVE to see a scammer get scammed. he thought he was getting a free laptop but spend over $1k on a binder. LOL
:clap:

Why? I have used Ebay for about 2years now and have made many Worldwide transactions through Ebay and PayPal with no problems what so ever. Now making deals outside of Ebay, thats a different thing. Your insured through Ebay so even if you do get ripped they will refund you(minus about £15 admin charges).
And as for using an escrow service, just insist to use Ebays own. Cant say i've ever had the need to use one yet though.

Now that was great :D I would have loved to have seen his face when he opened the package :p

[donny_paycheck]

If you guys check the original thread the videos the UK goons took inside the internet cafe/barber shop are probably still up. They're hilarious.

[sandman001]

ROFL, great stuff.

[Th0r]

Thats the best thing ever.. lmao

[rhino56]

that was hilarious, well worth the read.lol
i love the laptop hahahahahahaha

[twEEkerAreUs]

Read the entire thing! Score one for the team of honest people! I hate scammers or people who do that kind of trash.

[TommyHolly]

I would have sent a mail-bomb to that guy.
