    About a year or so ago, I ran across an article about thescambaiter.com and I laughed so hard I thought I was going to die. There was one titled "Anus Laptops" that was hysterical. I find it humorous that they think they are "outsmarting" some dumb american when they are actually getting completely pwnd! Serves them right IMO.

    I'm not going to lock this thread even though it has already been discussed at length in the laptops thread.

    This thread was probably revived when xmastree was looking for the laptops thread by searching "scam" or "scam bait", and found this, and then assumed that it was the laptops thread. I'm no detective, but that's exactly the sort of thing I would do.
