Edvard:
A wonderful story of how the innocent ebay sale of a Mac Powerbook turned into a tense tale of sticking it to a scammer...

mouser:
it's an oldie but goodie - definitely a wonderful read and a great example of community action.
be sure you have a couple of hours if you expect to read it all.

Edvard:
What makes it good is the suspense. The nail-biting, sweat-producing, wutsgonahapennext SUSPENSE! I found myself wanting to breathe into a paper bag along with mynameisjeff when Customs delayed the package...  eep! :tellme:

mouser:
yes its true.. the suspense is great.

does anyone know the link to that recent huge forum thread in a car forum where they all team up to catch a scammer?

jgpaiva:
I had never read it, thanks for posting!
That guy was owned.. Good to know that sometimes, scammers get scamed :)
