scamming the scammers

[gwh200]

one of the fellas at work was selling his laptop on ebay.the buyer wanted him to send the goods and he would pay "later". obviously he wanted to ignore this but i decided to see how far we could push it.we said that we were selling on behalf of a local charity, and all proceeds would be going into a fund to send sick kids on holiday, still no remorse. we then said he could have the laptop if he agreed to become patron of the charity, and to prove his goodwill send a photo (from the gambia) of himself holding up a board with the name of our charity( we got the idea from someone in the paper who does this all the time to scammers).my mate last night received a pic of his guy (or someone in the gambia at least) holding up a board with the immortal line www. imabigfruityone.com gosh how chuckled

someone does this on the tinternet all the time. half were young kids. no doubt with guns to their heads.

i read about someone from one of them countries trying to sell something, and someone over here 'samming the scammer' mentioned dog meat he wanted to buy etc etc. so funny to read.
