Check out the Powerbook Prank over at ZUG, and learn how to make an eBay scamming attempt backfire, with hilarious results!
MyNameIsJeff thought something was fishy about the email inquiry for his Powerbook on auction–it was a scam! So he sends a “homemade Powerbook” instead (right) and declares a value of US$ 2,000. The scammer had to pay US$ 550 in taxes. Sweet!
