In what has become an instant cult classic for TEH INTARWEB subculture (if you have Orkut, check out the group 'INTERNET') the goons at Somethingawful scammed a scammer.
The quick and easy lowdown: think of the Nigerian 419 scam only instead of sending oodles of your life savings to the conartists you send a laptop.
Well, instead of being the sucker, forumite MyNameIsJeff and seller of said laptop, methodically designed and hastily sent a "replacement" notebook to our ESL savy amigo on the other side of the pond. Below are a couple of choice photos of the finished product which the scammer paid real bling bling for.
This post brought to you by the letter eye and comeuppance.
