    This has been sitting on my favourites for some time. Tonight I was clearing things out and thought "I wonder if it would interest anyone else". Anyway, you might have already seen it, but it's worth a look if you've not. Enjoy! (P.S. this is NOT my prank!)

    Yes, a classic.

    I participated a little in the similar Anus laptop scam, which was also very funny!

    It's great (if a bit old), although I find the fact that the prankster Jeff disappeared off the internet entirely following the scam. Don't imagine anything untoward occurred, but it's a bit inauspicious.

    Yeah, I just happened to come across this one again whilst tidying up one of my PC's. Clearing out the favourites I clicked on it and found myself reading through. I felt it was well worth either a second reading or an introduction to anyone unfamiliar with it.

    No idea what happened to anyone involved...
