A hilarious Ebay story

Hope this isn't a dupe, just HAD to share this with everybody. A scammer gets the tables turned on him. :evilgrin:

It all started with an eBay auction for a new G4 Powerbook. My friend Cory wanted me to sell it for him just days after he bought it. Probably because he realized, aside from looking cool, he had no real use for it. For the sake of an easy sale, I just pretended to sell it as my own, with a starting price of $1700, and the buy it now option for $2100.

You are bidding on my 19 day old G4 Powerbook. This was purchased for a project that fell through. When I tried to return it, I was informed of a 10 day limit for returns!

Your new laptop comes with its original box, all of its documentation, all of its original accessories, and the blue tooth mouse.

Laptop Details: (Screen size, RAM, HD Space, blah blah blah) Free Shipping yadda yadda yadda

Days went by with no sign of interest, when I receive this email from an interested eBay member . . .

Do you read Macintouch.com?

They have had LOTS of stories about ebay scammers.

And I don't frequent Ebay very much, so I wasn't aware of the scams. Just stumbled across this today while surfing and thought it was pretty funny stuff :)

one of those Nigerian bank scam things where the intended victim actually got the scammer to send HIM some money - something about "I'd really like to help you out but I'm a little broke myself right now" or something. Actually got the guy to send him money by saying if you help me, then I'll help you, etc.

I'll definitely check that site out. Always fun to watch the scammers get scammed }(

Hilarious!!

I love it when people take advantage of the scammers.

WOO HOO!!

And we're gonna do the same thing in November. :-)
