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.

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

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