What you are doing is fine, IMO. He's a scammer, he tried to rip you off. Unless he ACTUALLY sends you all the money (in which case you will feel the right boob) he can't possibly contact the police.

Well I'm hoping that when he recieves his "free scammed powerbook" he won't wait till forever but open it up in the shop only mere minutes after FedEx leaves. That way the few lucky goons "surfing the cyber galaxy" or "getting their hair cut" can get a good glimpse. Maybe buy a few hours internet time and point a webcam at him?

I think Jeff should email and say "what's going on? I cannot log on to the escrow website!" and act very innocent / worried about the whole affair. We can't afford to have Scammer get suspicious.

You guys are probably right on the email. The delivery is only a day away now anyway and by the time he notices the escrow site is down, he probably already paid tax.

gently caress, I have to go to bed, when I wake up tommorow morning it's straight off to work, I'll probably be turning my workstation on around 9:30 GMT which is seriously loving cool. No work done tommorow, I can guarentee it. gently caress deadlines. Oh, and if my company firewall decides to randomly block SA tommorow (like it has done before) I will quit and move to england to hang out with Pipski & Smitz. They are :coal:

No matter what happens, this was still an awesome thread. Nothing will detract the coolness of this thread (except if Starbucks, Jeff or someone dies) it can only get better or ... stop. I'd like nothing more than a real GOON VICTORY for this thread complete with photos and long stories about the crazy barber, but if it all falls to poo poo, remember all the fun we've had these 35 odd pages and just Goldmine the fucker. I personally wouldn't want to see an aditional 30 pages of ANTI CLIMAX "oh sucks it fell to poo poo" posts. On a lighter note, i DO think this will work. I really see no reason why the p-p-p-powerbook wouldn't get delivered.

Apologies to Starbucks for bombarding him with "GOOD WORK GOON!" txt messages, but I had to leave for lunch and I wanted to somehow still be apart of the action. If Starbucks could let me know if he recieved them that would be awesome, as each txt to england only cost normal price.

It doesn't matter, it's been delivered and we have pictures of the guy / shop / truck. I am seriously SLOLing at the thought of when Mr Scammer sees the screensavers and realises that the guys who outscammed him were in his shop under his nose THAT VERY MORNING. Also, he's probably been gloating to his friends about how he 'totally PWNED' some american kid out of a laptop. Oh, this is too much.

Stealing laptops and murdering two people for 'changing the screensaver at a cyber café' are two very different things. But, if the off chance that our english heroes to get offed, they will die knowing they are Legendary Goons.

I also giggle with glee now that our mark has replied and the p-p-p-powerbook is back in buisness. It's been ONE WEEK, though. An entire one week delay. Makes you wonder why he wanted the powerbook delivered overnight, doesn't it?

What you are forgetting, Vince McMahon, is that it does not end at the p-p-p-powerbook. Once the fun and games are over, all evidence and information will be given to the police. That, my friend, is where he stops finding it amusing.

Well, it's friday in england now. I'm in France and it's 10:03am. I hope it is delivered today, I don't feel like waiting another weekend. I guess there is no recon team for today? Or monday? Or maybe due to GBS being open, it is being discussed outside of the forums? If anyone could fill me, I'd love to know. Thanks. Anyway, I too am eagerly awaiting conclusion, and let us all pray to the goon god that this goes off ok.

Photos are a must, rhig! Use their webcams if you have to. Don't worry about showing us the photos until you get home, as long as we HAVE some photos.
