(I'm still reading through this, but anyway) DEFINITELY not English, or even British. No one here would refer to their Post Code as their "zip code:NW9 6RR". So contacting him in London will just be a real address which probably knows nothing about what's going on. Edit: It's 1pm GMT now, expect a beamed in e-mail anytime soon!

You'll also want pictures of the package before you send it to him. To show us. For our entertainment. Yes. Edit: give us a paypal account and I'll donate some for shipping

Actually, I seem to remember I ordered some shirts from America to my house (I live in the UK). I had to pay a collection fee, but the package had been opened because they suspected it of being a bomb. BETTER is to send a none-too busted up, but busted up none-working, laptop or powerbook. If they open it and find it's a binder you could be in the poo poo. (Sorry, it's taken quite a while for me to remember this)

Jeff, how could you get into trouble? He isn't actually going to pay you, if he pays the tax that's his own problem, you could just ask for proof of intended payment, which he can't give because he sent you to a bogus site. I'm only worried about it getting searched then trashed because customs open it and find a P-P-P-owar Ringbinder.

What? Customs trashing it? Then the UPS number will say that it got stopped at customs, just tell him to go and collect it. They can't do anything about it, he's trying to rip you off which you have proof of, he's stolen an account and then asked you to send him something while he 'pays' you. Nothing bad can happen to you, it's just a little less funny if he doesn't get the package. Fingers Crossed! (Found out how much you'll need yet?)

If the phone number's fake he won't get the parcel. Fed Ex will phone him for credit card info to pay the shipping. UPS did this for me when I ordered an iTrip from Griffin in America.

If he's in the UK then please think a little. It's 10pm, he's probably got it turned off and might even be in bed.

Fairly certain that if the phone was off it won't record missed calls, because they're stored on the phone, not the network.

81.196.100.243 <-- That's the computers IP, yes? If it's from the Cafe then it'll be a leased line of some sort, so checking it anytime could work? If not, then it might reveal where he lives, if it was sent out of business hours. Unless it is the barber, in which case he'd just use his own machines anyway.

Someone at that point has to forward it. Fed Ex says they won't redirect it themselves. So something's up.

The credit card. Fed Ex will ring him and want him to pay the tax before the ship to him. (So, once it's in Britain, but before they dispatch it to him, hence the 2-3days thing).

Actually I've been thinking. We know when the delivery will be. We have evidence of everything for the deliver, including how we know it's a scam. So (as a UK Goon) I was thinking of just telling the police about the delivery address, including the Fed Ex number, the delivery address and time. We're not going to stop him, this is fun, but from the looks of it we're either going to do one of two things; 1)Lose the package in Europe 2)Not get any form of money shot So I say, we tell the police/fraud people ASAP (IE Thursday), and let them take one scammer (Capable of scamming lots of people) out of the system, at least for a while. Not only that, but I'm sure we could alert a few papers in this country, too.
