The PowerBook Prank

If you’ve got a few minutes, you should definitely read The PowerBook Prank. Basically a buyer on eBay tried to scam some guy into sending a PowerBook laptop using a fake escrow service, but the guy figured it out. So what did he do? Sent the guy a cardboard laptop and duped him into paying import taxes! The whole thing played out with help from the Something Awful message board – there were even people doing field work! When the scammer found out he’d been screwed over, he sent viruses and launched a DoS attack. Priceless.
