So insane at first I thought it was an onion article. Seems like an isolated event why someone would require laptops? A cyber security nutjob?
Buy with stolen credit cards, easy to flip on gumtree. The urgency is probably due to the cards getting cancelled at any time (or fraud protection kicking in). The article wasnt clear on whose cards were being used.
The woman said that she helped him rob her, so I assume that where her cards.
This story is so odd, that I would be disappointed it is was just about acquiring laptops to resale them later.
