Excellent. Reminds me of this work of genius, running a Nigerian scammer ragged:

Good one. These scams abound on craigslist too. Full of widows who don't drive willing to part with terrific cars at bargain basement prices, so long as you send them money through "ebay" to be held in escrow while they ship the car to you from someplace far away.

The Powerbook Scammer story is hilarious! It almost makes me want to f**k with the next Nigerian Lottery Winner email I get.
