Scamming a Scammer (Long Read But Worth It)

Don't know how many people have seen this but its great. Its about 1 man's dream to get a Powerbook that backfired on him for nearly nothing.

That's great, I'd LOVE to know the final outcome though, if that was the end of it or if somebody had seen the guy open the box at the shop.

This site had some things on it, didn't check the video's but the PDF is a nice way of packaging up what he had to say.

The swear filter is here for a reason. It is ill-advised to bypass it in any way. I've edited your post accordingly. Don't let me see it again!

Wasn't old to me, either ... that was the first time I'd seen that, and I laughed my butt off. I managed to stop laughing just long enough to foward it to all my buds at my old IT office, and then commenced laughing again.
