Why you shouldn't rip people off on the internet

[SRCHN]

First of all, I laughed my *** off. But after thinking about it, wow...that's pretty scary. I myself have had my *** ripped off in the past, but this was just unreal. This poor kid (well, at least in the sense that he will probably be put in the hospital) tried to scam some guy, and they found EVERYTHING out about him. When I saw the addresses and phone numbers come up I was like "ok, that's bad..." then when I saw Terra Server pics of his house, yearbook photos, and pics/profiles on his parents, I was like "holy ****!" I honestly, after spending the last 2 hours of my life reading that post, dont think he learned a thing. All I can say is if you even think you're safe behind your computer, guess again!

Hope you watch your back Charlie!!

Sadly, some never do. Not worth wasting your energy trying to teach them a lesson. They're the real-world equivalent of "dead money" in a poker tournament.

Short version (which in no way does the thread justice)...
College kid advertises new gear for sale for $100 + shipping. Buyer sends check. Seller cashes check then changes price telling buyer to send him more monSeller appologizesey. Buyer says send mygears or return my money. Piates join in demanding justice...in only the way they can! Seller talks smack. Sellers name, address, phone#, mom dad sister brothers names, vehicles, links to other boards he posts on, high school pictures, etc., etc., etc. are posted on the site. People threaten to vist his house if he doesn't make good on the deal. Post gets posted on numerous other sites. Gears arrive but are used not new as seller claimed. Buyer wants money back. Seller talks more smack. Seller returns money. Seller talks more smack. Receives phone calls. Returns calls and talks smack. Seller makes appologies...but its too late. Seller is famous world wide. Seller is OWNED!

Seriously..you got to read it to get a eal laugh (in a warped kind of way)!
The kid got seriously "Wendelized"!

I think the guy with the icy-highway pileup analogy summed it up about the best.

the huge increase in traffic probably caused the provider to cut off the bandwidth.
