I feel sorry for people that sell and buy on Ebay that do not have a working knowledge of the Internet in order to spot a scam. Luckily for this one person, they pulled one of the best documented pranks ever on a scammer on Ebay. It is completely documented with details of what happened. I started reading it, and fell in the floor. Here is the recap of the story.
- Guy posts powerbook on ebay
- scammer contacts seller
- seller figures out real quick it is a scam
- leads scammer into thinking he paid for it
- ships fake notebook to London and makes scammer pay taxes
- Internet friends do recon on the address it is being shipped to and take pictures
