Scamming the Scammer
 
This is very interesting read. One of the better examples of someone scamming a scammer that I have read in recent times.

But do you know 'the rest of the story' as they say? This guy got a lot of online harassment after his 'counter scam' including death threats. He has dropped offline and no one knows where he is now. Probably in hiding. Criminals don't like to be scammed and generally don't have any of the usual restraints of conscience when it comes to seeking revenge.

He is going to school from what I gather and is too busy to be on line. And as to the death threats, those are unsubstantiated.

Besides, what are they going to do, buy a tick and fly to Washington State and hunt him down? LOL..... I know they are dumb, but are they that dumb?

Re: Scamming the Scammer
 
And 'from what' source did you 'gather' this information? His friends online said that he simply disappeared. Wouldn't he have told them if he was just going back to school? (And why would it be difficult to stay online while in school?) Every reference I have ever come across to the 'afterwards' for this just says the guy disappeared.

Criminals make their living by scarying ordinary people. Thing is, ordinary people outnumber criminals.

See in Enland the criminals can scare the ordinary people because they have to rely upon the Police for protection, but here in the states, we have the right to protect our selfs from such thugs. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif Its called an wooden baseball bat with metal spikes!

Kappa: A brand of so called "sportswear" that churns out nasty shell-suits by the million.

Slapper: "****" or "Slag" would be the closest translation I could provide, but it's imprecise at best. The fact that it derives from "Slap", a colloquial term for "make-up" gives you better picture of what is implied.

Kapp-slapper: I'd never heard this term before reading it on the linked page but it is so incredibly evocative I can picture precisely what the author meant:

Imagine an underweight, chain-smoking, ignorant, foul-mouthed, aggressively-defensive young woman with poorly-concealed acne and her hair gelled flat down onto her cranium. Put her in a white Kappa shellsuit, and adorn her with lots of nasty gold jewelry. Imagine for her a similarly-attired boyfriend (let's call him Wayne). Wayne owns a baseball cap and a Ford Escort with the suspension dropped, muffler removed and a disproportionately large sound system. Typically these two would live on a council-estate or coucil-run tower block somewhere. They have a child together, whose name (or so it would seem) is "Shut the [censored] up you little [censored] or I'll [censored] smack you again." This child has a series of elder siblings (by different Waynes) named "Stop screaming you little bastard or the social workers will take you away", "for the last time, [censored] PUT THAT DOWN!" and so on.

Vicky Pollard from "Little Britain" is a pretty good rendition of a proto-kappa-slapper. Look her up, or better yet download an episode or two from somewhere. (Verrrry funny stuff.) Alternatively, google for definitions of "Chav" or "Chavette". That's fairly close.

I'm going to shut up now, before I say anything else to reveal myself as an elitist, middle-class snob.

here we call them "chiggers" from the nearby suburb, Chigwell. Now that I come to mention it I think I just worked out its slightly insulting simularity. In the rest of Australia I think "Bogans" is the right term.

Dude, you have no idea how funny what you just said is. Get hold of video/ audio of vicky (she's played by a bloke, btw) speaking. "Omg" is one of her catchphrases...
