I remember a while back someone posted a thread regarding a scam of a laptop to a scammer and there was a 4 or 5 page story about what happened.

Can anyone link to it ???

Was that the one where he sent a scammer an A4 ring binder with some keys stuck on it?

I wouldn't have even bothered sending him that. Just send a picture of one.

Superb read that, even if I have seen it before. Wonder if the guy got killed though haha.

That doesnt sound good.

It was funny the fact that he was going to trick a scammer, but you could see how much effort he was putting in once he was getting people in London to watch and record it taking place.

EH? he vanished.... didnt hear about that?

I remember the prank VERY well. There is a website detailing the whole thing and it was classic.
