His revenge was to send a bogus Apple Powerbook which was declared at a high value. As the scammer was expecting to receive the genuine thing, he/she paid for the taxes, which comes out to about US 2K. Then the scammer discovered that he/she has paid taxes for a plastic ring binder labeled as Apple P-P-P-Powerbook. Absolutely hilarious! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

No, you misunderstood. He declared the value of the package as $2000 so the receiver had to pay 27% tax i.e. around $500 - that is why he wanted Jeff to put a small value on the package. Agh! Can't believe I wasted 20 mins of my life reading that!
