Here's a link to the p-p-p-powerbook story.  Warning, 
while it is funny as hell, it is NOT a brief read.

BTW, the scammers on Audifans are using automated 
softwhere to scan the ads and send responses.  Kinda 
cool...in a bad sort of way.

Better yet... have some fun and turn the tables on 
them... there are web
sites dedicate to "Scamming the scammers".

I read this one story where a guy was selling a 
laptop, and he basically got
the same type of offer so he accepted it and shipped 
the guy the package
making sure it was clearly marked with a value of 
$2500. The buyer had to
pay shipping and taxes, inside was a binder with 
cutouts of keyboard and
screen made to look like a laptop...(his version of a 
laptop) it was
hilarious! he scammed the scammer... and yes the 
check was bogus.

Usually if you tell them the check must be drawn on a 
local bank or bank
with a local branch they drop interest...
