Who doesnt have AA on their computer?

This originated at SomethingAwful.com and the entire thread spanned 23 days and 3,251 posts...basically here's how it concluded:

One of the guys was at the barbershop at time of delivery:

Ok, update will be a minute or two; I have no pictures of the scammer however.

This was written just after I got to the barbers; I used one of his upstairs computers and couldn’t see anything so I had to listen.

RE VIDEO: I don’t think the video is complete; the lines were to slow at the cafes.

I’m upstairs at the moment and a lots going on, the barbers on the phone Parcel Force about other parcels he’s waiting for and one has been delivered according to the force.
"ec107847"2/z/7"17gb" was the number for one he was checking about others too.
After I had been upstairs a couple of minutes a guy came up used a computer pretty much next to mine so I couldn't take more upstairs pictures or record anything, I doubt the mic would have picked up anything audible anyway.

OK after I got up there I heard the barber on the phone, then a guy with an eastern European accent started talking - the guy very likely went in the back way. The barber was explaining that there was a fee for one of his Parcel Force packages, I think it was a storage fee as it was a few days late or something, either that or duty. The guy thought he was talking about the Fed-Ex parcel and started arguing that he'd paid duty; it took a minute or two for the barber to explain.

He paid the fee and there was a lot of rustling, he was opening one of the boxes, there was more angry raised voices and the barber said something like "is it broken etc", the guy said something like its wrong/mistake I don't think he really understood the joke right away. There was more raised voices but not real arguing, the guy didn’t suspect the barber of anything and didn’t as far as I know explain what happen to him. Probably to keep his post office box if the barbers not in on it.

I went outside to see if I could get a picture of him leaving, he spent about 5 minutes arguing with one of the guys outside the shop, it looked like this guy may have been in on it, and it’s fairly likely he knows something about the Romanian at least. I didn't manage to get any pictures, they were facing me the whole time and I couldn’t get the camera out even across the road from them. They went back into the shop and must have left out the back door.

I think it’s almost definitely the scammer and not someone working for him, his spoken English is as bad as his written and he opened the stuff in the shop

The fate of the P-P-PowerBook: The guy was not holding anything when he was outside the shop; I think it is either a bin in the shop or the big one out the back. I tried to sneak round to investigate but there were a few people hanging around. It's possible he took it home to avoid the barber seeing it but I am sure he would have after it was opened.

THE PACKAGE IS IN THE DEN

I REPEAT

THE PACKAGE IS IN THE DEN

Classic.

careful with free adobe acrobat.. it installs a gator component.. This is a internet classic read though :)

Apparently your PC also:

- your Cap Lock key gets stuck sometimes,
- your apostrophe doesn't work on occassions, and
- of course, no spell checker.

Is Shorty an eastern European dude who just got a new computer in the mail? :D

at what point does any of this become mail fraud?

so wait, where do we go for updates?

this scam is brilliant. i wonder how much the guy actually paid fedex for the package.

Wow, someone should script this story. It's that good. That was brilliant! Bravo.

This was the best book I've read in a long time!

errr..
