The story starts out like you'd expect - man selling a Powerbook on eBay. Scammer tries to make a side deal outside the auction using a bogus escrow service. Stuff like this happens daily on eBay. Here's where it gets interesting, though.
Victim figures out that the scammer is trying to rip him off. Sets up an elaborate sceme with the help of forum members at Something Awful. Sticks it to the scammer by sending him not a Powerbook but a "P-p-p-powerbook"... and a hefty fee in duty taxes. ;-)
Sometime revenge can be sweet...
