I found this on Metafilter and spent half the day reading this thread yesterday. I was on the edge of my seat even though I knew the outcome. Thanks for entertaining me on an otherwise normal Friday afternoon. I look forward to more threads where others try to scam the scammers. Sounds like a new game. Excellent work MyNameIsJeff and the rest of the Goon Recon Squad.

If you look past the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pop culture thing built around ninjutsu, it really is a great martial art, and has a fascinating history too.

cafeshops is a good Idea but maybe mynameisjeff should put up a P-P-P-Powerbook! Store, seeing as he created it. I'd be up for a P-P-P-Powerbook! mug.

I can't say this enough: I love this loving place. I read the thread up until the fake was sent. I was extremely busy after that and I just finished a fantastic few hours of reading. You guys are incredible. I have never laughed so hard in my life. Thanks everyone for making my year.

There needs to be an "Infamous" or "Legendary" thread rank reserved for threads that reach the greatness that this thread has reached.

Mirror http://members.cox.net/redxxll/ScammingtheScammer.htm If you notice something messed up on my mirror plz tell me. I don't have a fancy shmancy site or anything, but I figured it might help since Cox gives me near unlimited amounts of bandwidth that goes unused. I really can't believe all the coverage this is getting. Nice work fellas. Crimson fucked around with this message at 21:03 on May 15, 2004 |

by far the best time I spent hours on one thread. Just knowing the guy lost his money he spent in taxes is great, even if we dont hear back from him. Amazing the amount of attention this has gotten from other sites as well. Hats off to everyone involved to a job well done.

Also from Metafilter:quote:something awful sucks. i'm blocking all referrers from them. the members link to my sites constantly (particularly my mirrors), gobbling up my bandwidth, and when i backtrack to the referring page i am always informed that i must fork $9.95 to view the page. well, good. when they all send me $9.95 each, i'll allow them to link my site from there. apparently, when a good opportunity for self-promotion comes along, as with this ebay scammer, he allows free access to that particular forum. well, sorry jeffy, the free ride on meepzorp is over. So Lowtax gave SA to Jeff for this? :confused:
