two naked guys? one guy trying to fix the bed… the other guy trying to fix his hair… I don’t see the problem with it

Its not like there is some big fat cock or something. I’d rather see this than some dude in his underwear with an enormous buldge

Bump - So my roommate just “sold” his laptop. And guess where the shipping address came up? You got it… NIGERIA.

He’s lucky he told me about it. He isn’t as aware of this shit as I, and others are and should be. They almost had him. I was just chatting with him in the lib, and he asked if I had a box to ship a laptop in. I asked where it was going and immediately started showing him what to look for. i.e. HTTP instead of HTTPS when going to paypal related sites. And obviously this person failed those tests…

Sooooo, any ideas on how to fuck with this person?

Also, I don’t feel like fundraising in order to send out a fake computer… yet.

Meh, I’m just going to tell him to drag it out as much as possible, and maybe just send a bunch of pictures of Willybeen naked.

That guy is my hero. He took some time doing it, but in the end, he paid 550 bucks for nothing. Doesn’t get much better than taking money from a scam artist.

That would be funny, but to spice up the pot, you should “glue” those pictures to a cardboard “monitor” you made yourself, with poop. I’m just sayin.
