    Default The P-P-P-Powerbook Scam (epic lolz inside)

    Right, I know this is about 5 years old but it has never been posted on here before.

    The Powerbook Prank: He wanted a Powerbook. We gave him a P-P-P-Powerbook!

    Basically a scammer gets screwed by his own scam

    Its old, but its still hilarious....I especially love the "blue tooth mouse", and the "pre-installed applications". I wonder what happened to MyNameIsJeff though, apparently he was never heard from again.

    Why is it called Alcoholics Anonymous when the first thing you do is stand up and say, 'My name is Ray, and I am an alcoholic'?

    His return address was on the package, maybe he went "missing" haha, not to mention the name he used to sign up with the dodgey pay site was also his forum username.

    He either got killed by a group of cyber-nerds, or changed his online identity.

    Either way, its an awesome prank/payback.

    I just read cole v1,2,3 on that site it wen for over 60 pages if you thought the top one was good, you should see what they send these guy on multple occasions, over a couple of months scamming the scammer, there doing a good job. Devoting their time to scam scammmers.

    It's all good really, as this is an epic tale and there is always those who have not read it yet, and those that read it a few years back and enjoy it again.

    Got to love a story where a scammer gets scammed, warms the heart
