Looks like the admins modified the first post and put all of his information there but I won't have time to read the entire thread till tonight.
I noticed that benzworld is on the list and it can't help but remind me of this epic thread from a few years ago. http://www.mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/244457-scam-alert-fs-oem-mercedes-benz-e63-amg-wheels-tires-package-must-sell-quickly.html I reserve a special hatred for scam artists  . I hope they take him down.

Ok i've been reading that thread; it's your classic forum scammer (Says he has part, buyer sends money, part never arrives)
Here are the interesting parts: The scam artist made a HUGE mistake because the one of the people he scammed is apparently the OWNER of that web site! It did not take long for the members of that site to find out where this punk (19) lived and they had his facebook, myspace, address, and pictures posted. (And the myspace of his girlfriend as well ) Some people called said scammer and demanded their money back.... Some very funny photoshopping done. Apparently some people textbombed his phone and spamed his email....the crowd on that forum is not to be messed with. Things really started getting interesting on page 54 when they started listed other sites and aliases that he posted under. The owner of the site who got scammed is filing a full lawsuit against the punk... Stay tuned.

Sorry I did not get back ASAP to update this but the thread was growing so fast lol.
They got the idea from the old Charlie Wenzel scammer thread on pirate4x4 http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399203&page=73 and Fulcrum525 update is where it is as of now. And it is at 1481 posts and 149 pages of it lol

Well I didn't read each and every post although I will say that its odd because that forum only shows ten posts per page so there was a lot of page loading last night. Most forums that i'm on show 15-25 posts per page. (They had a show all option but with the length of that thread I didn't want to risk it)
Also most of the responses were of the "Lets get him!" "LMAO" "He's a douchebage" (Ok, I laughed at the GIFs  ) "Post and view count now X" variety. So it was really a matter of looking for the updates. What I find interesting is that when the wheel scammer (See link on my first post) was going on the mods at mbworld were very big on telling people not to call him and not to show up at his house etc etc. With Powerstroke there seems to be no such restraint.... I've never heard of Charlie Wenzel....I have heard of NSX_Nick though
