The 419eater Community Pulls Some Legs

Shipping ANUS laptops, $$$, Death treats, Audio and lots of pictures." This beats the amusement value of a Captain Kirk passport; the scam-baiters here managed to get cash in the mail and get rid of some less-than-perfect hardware.

    I hope the cheque bounced, if this guy did cash in the cheque, wouldn't he be in more trouble? ie receiving the money but providing bogus goods?
    He won't get in trouble unless the 419er presses charges. Generally speaking, fugitives from the law don't press charges.
