Last night whilst on the phone with Paypal talking over an issue with a payment from ... South America, I suffered that huge sinking feeling you get when you just realise you were stooged out of $980USD worth of graphics cards...

So I did what any self respecting nerd would do... fight back in the only way we know how.. the internet!

Please, if you have been scammed or know of a scam, then go to the site and make sure they dont do it to someone else.

All comments & suggestions are welcome...
Except "err ebay will be upset when they see that".. I already know this.

ebay??

i think we have caught the scammers - red handed, they were trying to purchase barbie dolls with $100 notes they had stuffed in their school bags just after they walked from their PO Box at post office.

Here is a photo profile:

Pirate told me I would get lots free pr0n and flying monkeys to service my every idle whim if I payed him money to subscribe to ZGeek.

Apart from a very disturbing picture of several male ZGeekers showing off parts of their anatomy that really should never have seen the light of day, i've seen nothing.

Then again, that may be a good thing.

And the monkeys just had their wings glued on with clag glue.
