I wonder what happened to the guy?

You don't know? "That guy" was Bill Gates!
He wanted a PowerBook sooo bad. But couldn't make himself buy one from Apple.

Ha. I was talking about the guy who did the prank. At the end, it said he wasn't heard from again.

Wow, that is great.

Nice to see the scammer get a taste of his own medicine!

If you want to get more chuckles about scammers getting screwed over by enterprising individuals, just Google the term "scamming the scammer" and there are a few websites dedicated to this hobby.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Perhaps after almost being scammed myself, I enjoy seeing this sort of thing happen to the no good, low life, scum sucking, SOB's known as scammers.

Okay, I will end my rant now.
