You sound like you have done this before... or else you have a devious mind. I like it.

I am thinking more along the lines of getting a photo of Steve McQueen off the net, and photoshopping my finger in on it. Seeing as it was Steve McQueen's bank account (apparently) that he transferred to, seems only fair... :D

Just don't get fired because of an idea I gave you.

Also another thing, take a photo of yourself or one off the internet giving him the bird, blow it up a bit and make that the screen.

Yeah, read through the description and the asterix at the bottom. Not really a scam, just gotta realize it is $81 a week.

BTW Joey, How did the laptop scam end up?

Bwahaha nice impersonation Scribr. Yeah they are stupid arent they.

The site old mate is talking about is this one:

www.ebolamonkeyman.com

There is some absolutely golden material on there, good office procrastination. He gets them going for WEEKS, its poetry in motion ;)

I gave the ebolamonkeyman style gag a try when I bid on and won a V1 S-Trim, he listed his location in Sydney.

When I won it, I emailed the bloke, asking for a final quote on postage blah blah blah.

He emails back, in characteristic poor english (warning sign one), wanting me to pay via western union (warning sign 2), spinning some bullcrap scam about him being on holiday in england, and he had the blower with him?? (three strikes and your out)

I kept it going for a few weeks, trying to get him to take a photo of himself holding a sign advertising another forum I'm on, "at my lawyers request".

The noodle eventually sent a pic of himself with his kids, no sign, I dunno if pics were real or not, he was a weird looking older bloke, wasn't as amusing as I thought it would be.

It kind of creeped me out actually :welcome2:

Haha! They are creepy hey... that's kinda how it got with my scammer fellow. I just got sick of it really. Was going to go to a whole lot of effort with making up a nice cardboard laptop to send to him with some abuse, but in the end I thought "is this f*&kwit worth the time?" The answer was obviously no. So I settled on sending him a very abusive email, the highlight of which was calling him a goatfu*(er :D When I can log onto my other email addy I'll find his amusing reply. Wasnt what I had hoped for, but satisfying all the same ;)
