Bad eBay Experience Spurs Internet Manhunt

An anonymous reader submitted an entertaining story running on the Chicago Trib that discusses a fraudulent eBay dealer, and the tale of his victims tracking him down. Nothing super technical, just amusing to read and remember that while sometimes the crooks get away, sometimes they become the hunted. My favorite part is when they call his mom. Man I'd love to do that to people who DoS us :)

someone stole my credit card

[austad]

Someone stole my credit card number awhile back and decided to purchase 3 plane tickets with it. Luckily the airline called me right away and asked if it was OK since the people went to the counter with the card number WRITTEN DOWN on paper.

The airline was nice enough to give me their names though, and I used several sites to get their phone numbers, addresses, aerial photos of their houses, and 2 of their actual photos. I printed all of the info out and I'm planning on sending it to them with a note that says they better watch who they fuck with. I should probably make a nice death scene with photoshop and their pictures in it also.

Or, I could just call my friend who works on a horse ranch, and have him get me a head from a dead horse, and I could send it to them. :)
