eBay Scam Victim Strikes Back
jcomeau_ictx writes "Justin Spence doesn't take lightly being scammed out of $1155 for a laptop he never received. The seller, Salvatore Wise, Jr. of Philadelphia, is growing openly more hostile over the webpage Justin produced exposing his and his wife Michelle Heinlein's scams to the world. So far Justin has documented $6841.00 total lost to this crook, but the total is more likely in the tens of thousands. " As it goes along it just gets more and more bizarre. My favorite part is when "Sal" says that all the earlier messages were sent from a different Sal, but you can tell them apart because the true Sal always writes his emails in italics.
Ain't revenge a bitch?
That guy's hosting bill is going to be huge after we're done with him. Maybe he'll do an expose piece on how slashdot users cost him thousands of dollars in hosting fees.

Though I can't remember where...
"Remember when the U.S. had a drug problem, and then we declared a War On Drugs, and now you can't buy drugs anymore?"
We have to start using the habbits of the middle age. When theres a thief, lets cut his hand and he will never retry. Well him, lets cut his computer mouse, his keyboard and his index fingers.
That should be harder for him to try n steal.
Kinda makes you wonder whether Sal posted the story himself..and must be laughing his way to the bank knowing the site's getting its ass raped by millions of pointed clicks..
By the way, hope Sal finds his way to the following conversation.
Sal, meet Bubba.
Bubba, meet thy Bitch.

Ignore whatever this guys says on his webpage. There are plenty of good sellers on ebay, and plenty of bad buyers.
If anyone is interested I have laptops for sale. Contact me.

I know a guy
His name is Sal
I buy stuff from him
He's my E-bay pal
I send all my money
To his locale
He'll send me his stuff
He's my E-bay pal
Watch out!
He just skipped out of town
Watch out!
'cause in legal fees he'll drown
And all my angry neighbors
They're gonna hunt him down
'cause we're gonna take out this E-bay cloooooown.
Oh...come on! It's funny!
Salvatore probably couldn't get him to take his site down, so instead he posted this story on Slashdot and let the /. effect do his dirty work!
Muhahaha!
Jeez, this schmuck really deserves the death penality. With the world's population growing so rapidly, we just don't need people like this around.
Life is really all that special. Every life form is unique. When someone comes out of the tube with their brain scrambled like this, we don't really have any moral obligation to keep them around.
For hundreds of years we dealt with people like this by putting them in the Army. They go wacko and kill dozens of people on the other side of the world? Cool, give em a medal. They get killed themselves? No big deal. One less asshole hanging around.
But now the Army is so technical and specialized that they are unable to meet their social function as general asshole disposal unit. The army's primary function of defending the country has been solved by hydrogen bombs and ICBMs, so the Army's secondary social functions take on more importance each year.
So we need some other way to deal with total psychopathic losers. If the lithium lollypop doesn't work or a heroin hot-shot from heaven fails to take out the trash, a standard lethal injection will do the trick. No reason to get all worked up about it. At least we don't shoot people in the head and then charge their relatives ten cents for the bullet like the Chinese do.
NO! Don't file your stuff against me!
"My name is Justin Spence. You kiled my server. Prepare to die."
Well shit! Isnt that a great reason to get rid of PDF's from the internet!
A slashdot A/C doesnt like them!
Honestly now, is there any fucking reason for that site to have the story in PDF?
Hold on... let me check.
Yep... just what I thought. Justin wanted to personally piss off you and you alone. He specifically went out of his way to make sure that only you would be angry. In fact, he spent a lot of time writing code so that only you would receive a horrible PDF, while the rest of the Internet gets an HTML document.
The code doesn't work on IP address or anything like that. It is a complex operation that identifies you by your PHQ - PDF Hate Quotient. It uses the monitor as a scanner to collect data on pupil dilation, skin temperature, pulse, and CO2 production of a user while a PDF is displayed to calculate a PHQ. Few people realize that the PHQ works like a fingerprint and can identify a specific person.
At least you know the whole story now.
"but i can and will if nessisary shut your whole web site down.I have plenty of friends that just live for that shit and can easliy do it for me if i cant myself but im betting i could."

Well, there ya go

You mean there's a guy in South Philly named Sal? No friggin' way!

What are you suggesting? That someone sends the guy a similar UPS package?
There must be a nicer way to prevent him from scamming people and stealing money than this. No?
Lol, damn, i gotta take an Net-break here : I read 'Mod Paris Hilton'... *sigh*
Years of FBI investigations, plea bargains, convictions, internal squabbling, one-ups-manship, etc. have seriously torn the mob apart and left them with true low lifes incapable of the true leadership required for a mob.
And people complain that there are no opportunities for a young entrepreneur these days...
Alito: A vote for Alito is a punch in the eye to put that bitch back in her place!
Somewhere in Nigeria
"Ha, Ha. Look, more money from those stupid Americans. I can't believe anyone would send a stranger money."
"Hey Aba, open the envelope and see how much we got this time."
"Son of a bitch!!! It's Monopoly money. Damn. Wait a second, what is this white powder?"
"Is it sugar?"
"I don't know, I'll taste it to see."
I think if this plan were implemented, scams from Nigeria would decline drastically.
All you guys need to look at something.I am sal wise but not the one who sold anything on ebay.I got plenty of documents to back up it wasnt me but my father but everywere i look i am seeing my name being jr but it is wrong.Yous are all playing follow the leader and saying guilty before reading facts.I tried to help out with this when i was out of the hospital but justin just toke it as it was me and that was that.I even went as far as asked him to call my hospital so he can see it was impossible for it to be me but he didnt do that right either. Now enough is enough and i dont have a problem with any of you's but at least accuse the right person.I mean if my father acually comes thru with them auctions then all this is over anyway but all the info on justins web page that is now down like i said it would be is mostly of my father.The civil dockets,The emails etc.. etc.. All i want is my wifes name off the web pages being hosted by other people now.Of course if they fail to do so then i guess they will have to get shut down also.I usally dont threaten anyone and for all that want proof it really wasnt me and was indeed my father call the hospital that justin should of provided and ask how long i been in and out of it.That should be enough proof to show you people it was sr not jr and not my wife. Now why would a scammer come on here and even type to you people?Because i did nothing wrong and im tired of seeing people putting my name out there like it was me and like im a crook.Anyone in philly who wants to see me come on down to 19th and passyunk ave right on the corner i have a scooter shop im in partners with and yes its a bunch of mostly old time mafia but so what we do nothing wrong and have a legit buisness and i dont hide from no one. Put yourself in my shoes.Im in the hospital not knowing whats going on and get out and find all this crap floating around and then find out it was my father.I want to hang him more then anyone. Acually he should be fixing this mess but he dont know i know whats going on yet but i have to tell him soon because this is getting out of hand and he must fix this and i dont care what the hell he does after that but im done with him. So people whoever wants real facts i will prove it and end it at that.
