wolfman Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I remember reading about a guy who screwed over some of these scammers by shipping a bunch of junk that they would have to pay the customs charges on .... anybody remember this?

Disclaimer Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 (edited) I read that too... you put an outrageous value estimate on the shipped goods overseas, and the person picking up the goods have to pay duties/taxes on it.Here's the original forum on it - sounds like the guy did setup his own website, but quit paying the host so it's gone...and the few mirrors I check didn't work.http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1016390&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1Just search for P-P-P-Powerbook - with pics! http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/ Edited January 26, 2009 by JRMMiii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 yes that is a scam, the check will clear, then 6 weeks later, the funds will dissapear from your account, the routing number is special, and it takes a while for those fake checks to bounce!
