Scambaiting

Anyone got the address for the guy who scammed the scammer (i think the scammer was after a macbook?) and he sent a heavy parcel to africa or somewhere and the scammer had to pay quite a bit to recieve it and all he recieved was a drawing of the laptop? Can't really remember how it went!

LOL! Awesome. It's good to see sellers take action like this, especially since eCrud don't want to.

Hope that Jeff fella is OK though. Kinda worrying for him to drop off all contact like that.
 
That powerbook scam was a classic.

I wish I knew what happened to Jeff though?!? There's literally _nothing_ about him after the scam, he disappeared?
 
He's still trying to get the laptop to boot.

Jeff is the guy that sent the scammer the laptop, not the scammer.

Contact just dropped after he was sent a virus (which was caught early and did not damage) and his website was DoS attacked.

I'm sure he's fine, but it is a little worrying
 
FINALLY recieved another email from him. Took him a week :rolleyes:

I am afraid that since I do not know the exact contents of what my hand-written request to join the Church of lolism would look like, I humbly request that a draft copy be made available to me for my personal attention, so that I can proceed by providing such request in my own handwriting to become a member of Church of lolism. it would also be instructive to note that I should be given some highlights of the procedures of initiation processes and its requirements.

This looks like something i'll write tomorrow!

that would be first class comedy. i would like to see a real life program on TV, like house of horros, but called something different like ebay of horrors, or something and they go round scambaiting loads of people, obviously limit the scammers to the uk only so they can go round and interview them :p
