Yea, I don't want to hear posts about whether an email is a scam and less about how you tried to mess with the scammers.
Unless you make up a binder to look like an Apple notebook and get the scammer to pay for import tax then it isn't really funny.
And that is the FBI headquarters in Sacramento I believe.

Hehe I remember seeing a scam similar to that, guy paid $600 in fees to pickup what he thought was a laptop but turned out to be a cardboard laptop made by the guy to ownerize the scammer.
