One of my favourite 419 scambaitings yet!

In this twist on the familiar tale, a 419 scammer ends up carving Creature Comforts characters and a Commodore 64 for the man he planned to scam - and sent them to the UK!

More "conversations" with the scammers here.

The Only Fools and Horses references make it extra funny! :^D

Interestingly, I found myself almost feeling sorry for the scammer!
the effort he (or someone) put into the carvings.

Now, wonder if I could get him to do me a C64 wooden carving. And then put some kind of capacitive detector on the keys, linked to a miniITX running a C=64 emulator...

I wonder if the sculptor got paid for his work.
