Scammer exposed on Mercedes Forum
 
I was doing my occasional browsing on the 419eater forum and came across a link to one of the most epic threads of all time.

on MBworld a person comes in trying to sell a set of Mercedes Benz wheels and tyres, and is then found out to be a scammer, and what happens next is 49 pages of epic win as the regulars on the forum track this guy down It really is a wonderful read.

I read the first 10 pages or so, and then skimmed the rest of the thread. Extremely entertaining stuff, and a worthwhile read -- it's really rewarding to see that guy get what he deserved.

"Tyres"? Do you mean "tires"?

It's one of those stories which gives you a little bit more faith in Humanity :) Never under estimate the Internet. The method they used to expose his number plates was a stroke of Genius.

And no James, i do mean Tyres. the rubber which goes around the wheel spoke.

Here in America, we spell it "tires".

Chris Britton August 27, 2008 3:21 PM

Ah, in Britain it's Tyres.

What happened except the refund?

He hasn't really got what he deserved, seeing as he isn't behind bars as of yet.

That was great! They really nailed him, and he just kept on digging his whole.

Ross I believe the officials are involved with it now!

Do you mean hole?

No wit, no repartee, no gags, no intelligent and hilarious put-downs- I stopped reading after 2 pages. Yawnorama.

I hope thats not what you were expecting to read bud? If so wrong mindset to go into it in. But up to you ultimately.

Now THIS http://www.metropol247.co.uk/forum/v...t=5185&start=0 , is epic win.

Ronn is practising Necromancy it would seem ;) Although on reading that i do agree it's also epic.
