Ebay scammers are filthy scum.
But it's reassuring how online communities can provide help to the scammed. Reminded me of this fiasco at pirate4x4.com.
Skrik called it. The MeFi crowd is not to be fucked with.
It's really cool that the folks on AskMe pay attention to such things. Kudos to them for exposing this scammer for what he is.
By the way, I have this laptop I'm willing to let go of, cheap!

That's fifty kinds of awesome.

That's a classic, un-.
For once, I am delighted to see a MeFi thread posted here. That's awesomeness in a bucket. With fries.
yeah. The moral of this story is, if you're assholes to everyone for a million threads in a row, eventually you'll find someone who deserves it.
This is rad. However, for sheer style it doesn't top the p-p-p-powerbook sting orchestrated at SA.
I'm confident that "m5biemer" will come back and say that he was refunded the money. Hey, I guess airnxtz isn't so bad after all!
Just goes to show that whatever you think about the Blue Green, when they're firing on all cylinders they're bad-as-they-wanna-be.
Thanks for the link Skrik, that was fun!
Awesome. I love seeing the MefiDetectives get their groove on like that. Poor bastard didn't even know what hit him, did he?
I really liked this. I'd love to know the outcome after it's all over.
