ricco67 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Okay. you got me curious (after I gone through a few pages), what was the final result, or did I miss it?Good lord, they DO have a forum/talk for everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 I don't know if the local authorities have swooped in on the guy yet, but they've posted his MySpace page, a picture of where he lives, photos of him, where he works, etc... These guys are some real Jim Rockfords, Thomas Magnums, Quincy M.E.s, and other P.I.s from the television P.I. craze of the 70s and 80s, lol.

Particularly if someone goes "Texan" on his hide and is willing to settle for some regular street justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwilson Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 While this guy seems like a tried and true scammer, you have to be careful of internet flame wars where people are accused of stuff. The burden of proof, sadly, is on the accused, not the accuser when it comes to these things. I, myself, have been labeled a scammer by those with no evidence and no actual substantiation either with full knowledge that I wasn't, but that didn't stop the flame war.Whenever someone on a forum I frequent accuses someone of scamming them, I always as that they substantiate the claim and allow the other party to explain (like the mbworld one).Anyway, it seems this guy will be getting a visit from BPD Digital Fraud Investigations Division.

Where is he?) are usually done by prominent posters that most of us already know in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
