Cliff notes:
Scam the Scammer
A taste of one's own medicine

While trying to steal a Powerbook, a scammer instead gets a broken cdrom drive, an excel '97 book, a high quality home-made laptop made out of a three ring binder, and some pencil shavings. Users in our forums discuss what is probably the feel good on-line story of the year: namely an E-bay scammer who winds up getting scammed in return. One of the more circulated tales in recent weeks, this site contains the abridged version and is worth a read - even if the ending is somewhat anticlimactic. The entire monstrous Something Awful forum thread is available here.
