Sigh...Internet commerce is very tricky these days. I don't feel sorry for someone who doesn't educate themselves against the pitfalls. This from someone who has definitely learned the hard way ...

You've got to have a few cards missing from the deck to fall for this type of scam at this day and age...

'But we didn't know we would become victims of Internet fraud as sending the laptop to Nigeria had nothing to do with the Nigerian scam.'

What else did they think the nigerian scam was all about?! It's a typical nigerian scam right after the book.
Instead of paying with paypal, Daryn should have sent a box of rotten tomatoes on COD with their cheapest shipping service.

BTW, the forums they are referring to are the Something Awful forums.
