Boba Rhett Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 An American Ebay seller realises a European bidder is trying to scam him out of a Powerbook (fake escrow site, hijacked ebay account), so he sends him something far better, a P-P-P-Powerbook! Not only that, but they got him to pay the hundreds of dollars in delivery fees for it. Read the freaking hilarious tale, here. It's along read but it's worth it and there's pictures!

Lightsaberboy Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 darn. i can't read the file at the moment. How much did that guy pay for that? plus delivery fees? since he was using a fake account, does that mean he didnt actually pay for the laptop but only for the shipping and escrow fees? i want specifics!

coupes. Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 That's good stuff... But I'm curious to see those pictures taken by the 'secret agents'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datheus Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 The story straight from the Something Awful threads. http://www.p-p-p-powerbook.com - Though the bandwidth already seems to be sucked up. Annnd here are some mirrors with pictures (though they are already in the PDF). p-p-p-powerbook.com and the original thread on SA.com will surely have updates. We're all hoping for a resonse from the scammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Windu Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 What I'd like to know is how he got all this stuff to work out perfectly. I'm sure the scammer had to have been a bit smart. *shrugs* It was a funny story, bit hard to follow for me but I got most of it. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
