well if he's in Nigeria.........lol

maybe we can organize a CL vacation in which all the owners meet at one place and hop on some very rich CL owners private jet. we'll go to nigeria and beat the **** out of him and his hut. <-- made of sticks and mud. lol and then steal the lap top he scammed you from and throw it in the river.

Yeah. Someone recently gave me $2500 for a $250 item. Needless to say, I got 2 checks.. 1 was good, 1 was really bad. Same scam.
