I read thru alot of it too and then ask me to sign up. So did they get the guy yet?

[RACEME]

[DeckerEnt]

It was up to 41 when I was there. Over 1000 posts. Over 100,000 views and like 140 different forum links. That one is going crazy.

i only made it about 9 pages - it got interesting when the guy started posting. Did anyone find out if they turned him in yet?

[DeckerEnt]

Someone needs to get on there and keep us updated. I have no way to check e-mail so I can't register.

here is what the owner of SVT wrote

My name is Travis Hill. I am the owner of an automotive enthusiast’s webforum called SVTPerformance (www.svtperformance.com). Recently one of our members, Steve Prusak (“sprusak1”) a police officer from KY, was taken advantage of by an online scam artists. In his search for relief he sought help in a forum on our site that is dedicated to helping people with minor legal problems. Many of the posters in this forum are law enforcement officers (“LEOs”), and they attempt to help the other members as much as possible.

So when the victim posted his problem, along with what little information he had about the scammer, other LEOs were quick to help. In short order members had found the scammer’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth, driver’s license number, social security number, and pictures of him. Some members even drove by his house to take pictures of it and his car. It was also discovered that there is a warrant issued for his arrest (in his home state of NJ) and it appears a local police officer lives on the same street as him. The local police have been made aware of his activities as it appears that he has scammed others recently as well.

Other members also found the scammer’s MySpace page and sent him messages along with a link to the thread discussing his alleged crimes. The scammer then joined our site and posted what amounts to an admission of guilt. He eventually begged the person he scammed to call off the other members and ask them to stop posting his information. However, new information is still being discovered and updates are continuously being made.

Since then the link to this thread has spread to hundreds of other forums across the internet and it is quickly becoming an online phenomenon. People are basically tired of seeing online scam artists take advantage of others and this thread seems to give them a sense of justice being served. I am proud and honored to see the online community come together in a common pursuit of justice. In this situation the predator truly has become the prey.

I suggest you read through the thread for yourselves. It has been growing quite rapidly and is becoming longer by the minute. In less than four days this story has been viewed over 46,000 times as of 11:00am EST. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them or provide any further information I can.

Kickass, maybe this will make people think twice in the future!

summary?

Some loser bought a phone from the SVT guy and did not pay him, and then kept/resold the phone to the tune of about $500.

The loser pretty much told the svt guy tuff shit, and 43 pages and 140k views later he is regretting that.

I just logged in over there, and not much new has happened.

The place on the SVT site that this was posted in was the donut shop. The place where the cops hang out so the police are getting involved.

Do any of these idiots ever stop to think that at some race event, car show, or swap meet they just might run into someone they screwed over. Not all people forgive and forget. I tried to read the complete story but could'nt log on.
