This is passed around the net faster than crabs at a whorehouse right now. Up to 17 pages and counting of hilarious things. Some kid scammed a cop out of a cell phone and he decides not to take it lying down. The hilarity ensues…
CLiffs?

To Whom It May Concern:
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.

Basically some kid scammed a LEO. He asked for some help from locals in the area. (Montclair, NJ) People started driving by this kids house, taking pictures. They have all of his info (ssn, full name, dob). The kid signed up on teh board to try and defend himself but nothing but laughter came of it.
He admits to scamming people and is now getting freaked out by all of the attention. He is begging the op to call off the “attack”. Supposedly the phone was shipped back but nothing has been received yet.
Another thing is that it turns out the chief of police for the town lives across the street from this kid and he has warrants out for his arrest. LOL
WTF lol
god dammit i wanna see it says unavailable and i keep refreshing it
I think it just went down. It worked 5 mins ago. Too much traffic i guess.
I’m still pissed off, that was such a let-down.
This post gives you the general gist of it. But the whole thread is definitely worth the read when it comes back up.
