can you tell us te story in your own words in 1 paragraph please, because I don't think anyone would read that many pages but I am interested inhearing it. So if you can summarize it please..........

 

[thesanityannex]

ok, but if you read it, its even funnier, especially around page 6-8.

summary:

kid sells gears for a truck for 100 dollars new.
kid cashes check then says he actually wanted 140 dollars.
whole message board attacks him for bait and switch.
kid admits gears were not even new as advertised.
whole message board goes nuts on him.
kid's personal info is put on message board, kid's house (google earth) is shown. kid is threatened with mail fraud, fbi, you name it. (moderators there have some wicked connections) kid has his info spread all around the internet where he sells things (ebay) and is now a known fraud. kid eventually returns money for the bait and switch.


its not funny when i summarize it, but if you have time, read it. the responses are amazing and its a story that will suck you in if you start reading it.

Reminds me of a less funny version of the classic P-P-P-Power Book Story (only 4 pages but a hysterical story of a scammer getting his just deserts)

Sanityanex, where and how did you get turned on to this thread?

Academic research seriously!

 

[Bibby_Is_Clutch]

To summarize the story... 'If you live in a bubble... dont step on peoples toes outside of the bubble.'

 

[Bibby_Is_Clutch]

There goes 2 hours of my life... A+!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeah, pretty funny for a tooling; I read this about a month ago, but it's just as funny tonight.

Just kind of stumbled on to it. Use to be really into 4x4's. It's takes a while to read it, but once I started, there was no way I could stop. Some of the responses had me dying in laughter. The way it reads it reminds me of some sort of internet soap opera. It also scares me on how fast they can dig up personal crap like that. Anyways, glad to see people enjoying it as much as I did.

If you enjoy reading about scammers getting theirs, you might want to check out www.bustedupcowgirl.com/scampage This woman has spent a lot of time responding to the infamous Nigerian letters.

Interesting reading for a slow night...

 

[Bibby_Is_Clutch]

Hey VF21- If one of us were to scam another member on here would you use your God-like powers/knowledge/connections as the admin from the 4x4 board did to get us back? Just wondering how cool our admin is.
















P.S. Im just kidding. You are a perfect admin.

Edit: VVV Demonstration not needed. VVV

In that case, Lady Poof just might have to make an appearance...

Great jsut what I needed right now another excuse to procrastanate!

On a lighter note, if the Irish Travelers ever learn to use the Internet then they will have to build 100 trailer parks in Nigeria, and the population of North Carolina will drop by a third!

 

[BigWaxer]

Have followed the P4x4 story as I am a member there, don't post much tho just love to 4x4 and read.

I wonder what ever happened to him, they closed the thread after it was resolved. Dood even looks like a punk and my punk detector goes off on first site. I can tell a good person by looking at them. I think its a gift haha

 

[floydian]

Damn that was hilarious and it only costed me a whole days worth of work as I did nothing today but read that forum. I just cant believe how much information they got on him. He is owned by that site for the rest of his pathetic life.

But I am on page 31 and still have not found out if the money order actually went through. This is even longer than the original 21 pages mentioned

 

[BigWaxer]

I will save you the trouble... the MO did go through.

You find out that it did on page 73 or w/e. Pages 30-70 are pretty much just people getting their two cents in.

i thought i read it went through somewhere around page 21. maybe my browser is set differently. yeah, it takes so long to read it all, but i couldn't resist.

LOL, wasted 2 hours of my life turning the pages till 45, it reminds me the feud with our Laker rivals on the other board hahahahahaha.
but at the end I feel sorry for the kid.
