Default 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.

Scamming the Scammer

Enjoy

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?

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. Its called an wooden baseball bat with metal spikes!

"GIVE ME YOUR I-BOOK!"
thwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaackkkkkkkkkk
"Hows that? Is that the I-Book you wanted?"
"Call 911"
thhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccck kkkkkkk
"Damn criminals... they never have any money!"
