Sal Wise, Philly eBay Scammer Strikes Back!

Warlock7 followed up last week's bizarre story of eBay Fraud by noting "The news in Phlly ran with the story and put Sal's picture online with video. Now Sal has decided to direct all blame on his old business partner. He's put up his own site now trying to divert responsibilty away from himself and uses his kids pictures to try and garner support." It's hysterical to read the original log about how everything was his father's fault, but now get to learn about a more powerful evil named 'Vince'. It's like a soap opera that won't let me blink until the commercial.

  1. Story is PRANK by Saeed+al-Sahaf · · Score: 0, Troll
    I can't say I blame you. If I weren't involved in it first-hand I'd probably feel the same way. As I posted on Justin's online forum a couple days ago, the stranger this gets, the more I feel like this whole story is in a Robert Anton Wilson novel, and I'm just one of the minor characters...

    Nice damage control, but the gigs up. Cat's out of the bag. Story is prank. Move on.

  2. Opps! Preview is good... by Saeed+al-Sahaf · · Score: 0, Troll
    It's nice to get all philosophical and speculate. I don't know if Sal is real, or if he's a poorly-written AI program running on an ancient PDP-10 in MIT's basement... but I lost $405 real dollars to him, her, or it. I have no first-hand knowledge of Justin's or anybody else's stories, but I bought a coin on eBay I never received.

    Good Bonus Troll, I give you points! This whole thing stinks like prank thought up over beers... My money is on the whole thing folding quickly as people realize that it's a couple of guys seeing how far they can take it! Good show!
