This is what happens when you scam someone...
Here it is for your entertainment. This kid scammed the wrong person on a forum for selling sneakers. In this case, it was a pair of Nikes. He accepted payment from what I understand & never shipped the goods.
It was unfortunate that he had to learn his lesson this way, but imagine all thieves/scammers had this treatment awaiting them. This may seem a little extreme for some. If you bother to read through the thread, there are more updates on the proceedings. They did actually manage to get this kid fired from his job at Target.
Your thoughts?

for $80 or whatever, I think the guy went way out of his way to **** up the other guy
if it was a $1000 transaction then alright, but for $80....a cpl pizzas and an ad on a gay forum woulda been good enough
mind u, the fake incrimination of someone can be viewed as a crime

I think this should be handed out at church, your high schools + community centers, local brothels etc. If I read this and was thinking of scamming someone, I would change my mind.
Stealing is serious business, whether you ****** something off the shelf or you deceive someone into believing you are an honest person on the internet. Regardless, you are a criminal. You stole a bag of chips? Thief. You stole a set of rims? Thief.
In some country's they chop your hand off. This seems a lot more docile then that. Sometimes it is necessary to be extreme in order to make your point clear. In this case, it's don't ever think that just because you are behind your computer in your parents basement that you are safe. That you can't be tracked down and made into a complete idiot.
Can you imagine being the parents of this child?

An eye for an eye. It may be hard for us to judge whether the revenge went over board. But most people don't think of the consequences before they act; even if they thought it out, they think there is a chance of getting away with it.
Best way to keep yourself safe is do no harm to others.
