GreenMonkey Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 HAHAHAHAHA http://www.zug.com/pranks/powerbook/ Read the whole story. Guess it's a bit old, so some might have seen it before. Still, pretty funny if you haven't. PS - my apologies - meant to post this in off-topic forum. If a mod could move it I would appreciate it.

Ricky G Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Great story, thanks for the laugh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 That's pretty good, but this is my favorite counter-scam story: Instead of receiving a valuable video camera, the scammer ended up paying shipping charges to Nigeria for a box of dog shit. Here's the whole story. EDIT: Also, the email transcripts are linked on that page and are pretty funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 Man, that laptop story is definitely funnier than the dog poop story. That Zug is a very funny site BTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I love how they had people hanging out at the barber/cafe waiting for the package to arrive. Although it seems odd this guy would disappear completely like he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJames Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 3) Finally, and most disturbingly, Jeff was not heard from again. I personally e-mailed him for permission to run his story on ZUG, but after an initial response, I never heard from him again. All of his Web sites have come down, and he is nowhere to be found. Was there ever an update to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 ....what ever happened to Jeff?!!? I hope that the scammers weren't some sort of organized crime syndicate that somehow found out where the dude lived and whacked him out.
