in Ebay, auctions, car boot sales, post & parcels
After reading various threads about NPB and also sellers who seem to be con artists it made me wonder if anyone has ever got their own back on these people?

You don't have to say what you did and you can even say that your 'friend' was the one that did it but I would be interested to know if anyone has got their revenge on someone who has conned them on Ebay?

    Scamming the scammers, or the p-p-p-p-powerbook saga, gained cult status some time back, and will always remain a classic. :D

    For those unfamiliar with it, get yourself a coffee and read on. ;)

    Also give 419 Eater a look. There is much hilarity there, ensuing from winding up of 419ers!

    Great stuff! Side splitting in places!
