We actually scammed the scammers, sorta -

First the arrival of the laptop, huh? Then the charge, made while wife was in the air. The call,m get it off the card, call the police, but hey, there was an e-address. Wife makes new return address "hey, you sent to wrong address, where does this go..."

Bingo, two Nigerian names and would you believe Wisconsin. But that was just the beginning - we thought they go arrest them. But who had jurisdiction, where was the crime committed ... the police came over, looked it over ... left ... I called a few times, tried to get a TV show with affiiates in Wisconsin ... nada

So six months later, I said .. hey open it up. Let's see if it works. And it did. Too bad, now it's used goods, they'd have to re-test it, they'd lose all their profits gee whiz ...

Two years later my wife left ... but she left with the laptop. Thanks guys ... next time send me a Porsche please.
