justice on the ‘net
January 26th, 2006 by Lawrence David
lately, i’ve come across a bunch of stories where victims of thefts or scams have been using the internet to get a little vengeance.
here’s a novel way with preventing a stolen laptop from getting sold on ebay.
this guy gives one of those nigerian scammers what he deserves (the e-mail transcript is a fun read).
and of course, there was the huge priceritephoto saga recently, where one abused customer single-handedly brought down one of those shifty brooklyn camera internet stores.
[edit] for completeness, i thought i’d add a link to what’s probably the most famous scambaiting story on the web.
