Seriously funny and unique way to get back at an Ebay Scammer (Merged)

I found this on another forum. What a way to get back at an Ebay scammer. I think the funniest part are the various comments left by the scammer, using a variety of guises.

The moral of the story? Never sell a laptop or PC on Ebay, especially if it's not working. You never know what someone might be able to grab off your HDD.

    I like the idea of sticking the laptop back on ebay and making the scammer bid for all his personal !!!!!! and other stuff back to stop other people getting at his private bank details, etc. :D

    I think I'm a bit daft - i didn't figure it out until I got to the end!!!:rolleyes:

    Anyway, do you think this is real? If he really wanted to get his own back, surely he would have mentioned the seller's ID. Also, would you pay £375 to somebody who only has 50% feedback??

    I think it's somebody having a laugh. But it gave me a giggle!

    Also, the thing about the camera phone and pics of legs really worried me!!

    Personally, I think it's for real. Also, it's possible to see the auctions you've bid on for upto 30 days after winning. Chances are the seller's feedback was better when this guy won the laptop. The bloke obviously took screen grabs when he found out the laptop was faulty, etc. He says he did complain to Ebay, but they were on no help. There's no point mentioning the seller's ID, as the seller is NARU'd. He's asked for the money back, but it hasn't been forthcoming.

    But the seller's no longer a registered user, so there probably wasn't any point.

    Look at the web counter.....it's jumping up at the rate of knots! Poor old Amir :o :rotfl:
