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.

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.

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