Internet scams, take two!

Some months ago I blogged about my adventures with an online scammer. I had some good laughs with emails going back and forth, and it was really funny seeing what kind of things actually makes people take  the bait. Disturbing, but funny.

Well, it seems like all the charade I had during several weeks is nothing compared to what this guy accomplished: he actually managed to ship a lot of worthless heavy junk, at the scammer’s expense, of course. The death threats he received afterwards would make for some of the best tag-lines ever.

It turns out there is a whole Community out there that have made a hobby out of scamming the scammers. Looks like fun!

They even have a brand of laptops to bait the scammers. The name is … wait for it … Anus Laptops. As you can see, just the brand name is more than enough to produce some peculiar conversations. OMG! Simply genius!
