When you have a lot of LEOs on one site from all over the country, it is amazing what you can accomplish. This scammer is getting totally obliterated online and at home. Its a good read and I thought I would share.  http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=459242

I guess copy paste

to summarize,

Scammer receives a few hundred for some phones, doesnt't ship.

OP posts asking for local help.
OP is a cop in New Jersey,

Scammer is in California someplace.

Turns out another poster is a neighbour of the scammer, and there are local cops on the board as well.

Photo's of the scammer's house are posted.
Scammer's myspace page is identified.
Scammers's date of name, birth date, SSN, phone numbers, pictures, and criminal record are all posted.

Scammer already has warrants out for him. (traffic stuff).

OP contacts local police.

SVT site crashes from folks all over the internet visiting it.

Worked for me too, after a couple reloads.  I did have to refresh as I think their server is being overworked.

That's awesome! More people need to start cracking down on these scammers.  It seems like the majority of them are kids.

That kid was pwnd hard.  Serves him right.


Wenzel thread


Quick and dirty...
This kid sold some bad stuff, wouldn't refund.  People chimed in to make him either refund or give him a new part.... Mr. Wenzel wouldn't back down.  Then he started bashing everyone on the thread.  People got even by posting his SSN, address, pictures of his truck, his parents work place, his phone numbers, practically everything about his life.

So if you hear someone saying "Oh, he got Wenzeled," now know.....

Oh, IF you have the time to read through 100+ pages of the thread, I recommend it.  It's truely funny and you will see how powerful the internet really is.  



ETA: Here's what somebody summarized in another thread...

Charlie Wenzel had some part pulled out of his truck.
He posted it on that forum for sale, calling it "Bran New" (sic) for $100 plus $15 shipping.
Mike paid for it with a check for $115.
Charlie cashed the check.
Charlie edited his post to say $125 plus shipping and messaged Mike "got your check, but it's short $25.  Please send it" or something along those lines.

Mike tried to deal with him via PMs, Charlie just kept trying to dick with him.

So Mike took it public, and all hell broke loose.  Charlie kept insisting, rather prickishly, that he'd done nothing wrong, and refused to accomodate Mike.

Over the next 13 pages or so, Charlie's picture, home address, telephone number, weight, height, social security number, place of work (and the place of work's phone number, email address, and fax number), high school, credit history, and the size of his dick were all made public.  (That last one was probably conjecture, but who knows? They found everything else.)  

The point I was talking about on page 13 was where they posted a full frontal picture (clothed, you perverts) of his mom and her life history, including where his parents met and how they hooked up.  His father's info is on there too, including where he works, the phone number, yadda yadda yadda.

The natives are FURIOUS, and they're out for blood.  Hell, the moderator is from some legal firm and he's threatening to pound this guy's ass into oblivion in court. There's some other guy who hasn't said what he does but he dug up everything from his criminal record to his credit history and he's hinting that he has more and will be happy to use it if the situation is not resolved in Mike's favor PRETTY DAMN PRONTO.

Mike has a money order in his posession, but as of page 25 (where I am now) he has yet to be able to find anyone who will cash it.

This fucking douche nozzle is getting smacked down--I'm only 8 pages in, but they've posted pics of his house and ALL of his personal info.

He actually tried to defend his actions by saying "someone scammed me, so why should I get in trouble for scamming you?" (paraphrased).
