ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 21y 3m 22d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 05/02/08 11:53 PM Share Posted 05/02/08 11:53 PM They try it on me everytime I sell anything over $1000.I usually report them as they have hijacked a ebay account. Apparently scamming is the 2nd highest income for Nigeria after Oil. Last year they generated $350million in scams. and this is only the scamming they know about.Nigeria is the only country we have blacklisted on our ISP as nothing good comes from that hole of a country.

I'd pick up a busted old laptop from your local op shop and send that to them with a simple note attached "EAT sh*t DICKHEAD, HAHAHAHA" Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12897-the-ebay-scam-thread/page/21/#findComment-630811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also made the invoice for like $3500 so the bloke had to pay a motsa in inport taxes etc etc. Oh and sent it by the most expensive postage available COD. If I could find the link I would post it up but can't be bothered. I reckon you should try this.

Joey Member 182 Member For: 17y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Australind, WA Posted 06/02/08 09:53 PM Share Posted 06/02/08 09:53 PM I think that will be the best part! When he gets the box, all excited about his successfull scam, and how he is the smartest little Nigerian in all of Africa, and how all whities are dumb and stupid.... Then opens it to find he has been taken for a large ride... HAha!! Its going to be lovely.I think what I'll do is fill the 'laptop' full of printer paper or some other junk to bring it up to weight. Would be better if he didnt know until he opened the box.Ahh good times Thanks again for the idea mate, absolutely mint! I'm actually beginning the construction at work today instead of doing my jobs...
