You guys really need to go over to www.thescambaiter.com, where you'll find plenty more stories along the same lines, only much more elaborate and expensive Like the guy who thought he was stealing laptops, only to find himself paying international airmail shipping for several boxes of junk, a washing machine, a dryer, a stove and a fridge. (Yes, really... work it out, that's a LOT of shipping charges... and DHL only takes cash in Nigeria).

Right now he's about to send DHL to pick up another box of laptops, which in reality contains an old toilet...

I recall the wood carving of a C64 That was amusing. They still keep at it though, one does wonder how many people do fall for this stuff.
