I wish I didn't have to go to work today and could just sit here and refresh the page. Oh well.

I'm actually really really nervous :(

I would be too even though I don't think there's a reason to be.

The guy doesn't have your real address right?

This is going to be historic.

And while we're waiting we can all enjoy a nice picture of cat.jpg

Yeah, you're right.

For comparison, here's a shot of the street taken from the last expedition. I can't see "New Jersey Chicken" in any of the older shots we have.

Maybe its on the other side of the street?

Looks like one of our guys found the wrong place.

Edit: I see it now. Look at this picture. He's in the Internet Cafe. See the blue sign and the logo "Foneeds"? Now look at this shot again.

Yeah I started to see it too, but didn't completely connect the dots until you mentioned Foneeds. At first I thought it was the sign outside the barber but it has yellow trim not blue.

I just wish we could see the look of profound disappointment and failure on the scammers face just as he first lays eye on the p-p-powerbook.

Does it play longer than 6 seconds? I'm not sure if that's the full length of the video, or if some of us aren't able to play it all.

Also: 780kb divx version with no sound (the sound serves no purpose anyway). Still only 6 seconds long, though. But those of you who can't play the video should be able to view it.

Heh, might as well just make it into a gif.

Too bad it doesn't really show anything other than a Fedex truck.

Thanks for reopening the thread. I can't wait to see what our scammer says.

Also, did you guys notice the guy in rhig's pic with the cotton hot? Is that not the scammer? It meets the description.

If the scammer responds we should to send him a picture of the barbershop. That would probably give him a heartattack.
