    So now we had his address. Everyone had a lot of ideas on how to mess with this guy, like lushka16:

    Holy ****!! The next course of action is WICKED obvious, he even said it himself: "Here the duty taxes are 27,5% from the total amount wrote on the package." Put like $8000 on the package and make the ****er pay $2200 for it.

    This was perfect! Obviously, $8000 was high, but marking it $2200 and having him pay the 27% was genius! I wanted to send the scammer something that was worth the effort. But what? EricFate got my imagination going:

    Send a three ring binder with a hand drawn keyboard taped to the inside of the bottom flap, and a hand drawn screen taped to the inside of the top flap.

    Crayon preferred.

    YES. This was perfect! Trick the scammer into paying a few hundred dollars for a fake laptop! Genius! And thus it was born...

    Oh man, that's really funny, yet illegal at the same time. I doubt the scammer will persue it though. It is always funny to see the bad guys get the table turned on them :)

    Payment was obviously NEVER recieved. The scammer has no ground for anything. All he would do is get himself caught. I love stuff like this. I get emails all the time from "ebay users" saying that they haven't recieved an item they purchased. I think to myself, I haven't sold anything. Click the link and watch it goto a fake ebay site for me to login and verify what is going on. I'm seriously sick of all this stuff. This is mainly because most people are unaware of these simple but good scams(if you puter savy).
