[Ecrofirt]

[MrPing1000]

i remember following this as it happened but i forgot about it and never saw the ending. Great stuff

 

[Agent Dormer]

Read that before. Fucking great.

 

[Ecrofirt]

yea, it was pretty awesome

 

[Wario64]

rofl

 

[Mr. E. Yis]

Umm no it isn't great. At the end, the scammer hacks into the dude's website, plus the dude is never heard from again, emails are never responded to, site stays down, etc.

 

[samus4ever]

thats comedy!

 

[ohamsie]

LOL

Pretty funny, but poor Jeff, never heard from again????

You make it sound like a stupid hacker from across the pond somehow orchestrated this guy's murder. Which is highly unlikely.

 

[Justin Bailey]

Anyone here have a SA account? Can they verify that he hasn't posted or anyting?

 

[Willco]

I have one, but I dare not anger the goons by bringing up something they've probably talked about to death and then some already.

 

[StrikerObi]

This was funnier when it was actually being actively posted on the Something Awful forums.

HURRAY FOR GOON ELITISM!

 

[Mugen]

He's never heard from again? WTF. I hope he's just in hiding. But yah, awesome prank.

 

[jiggle]

Heh. Feel good story of the year. Two thumbs up.

 

[AlphaSnake]

Never heard from? WTF...someone should find out what happened to him. That's fuckin' scary.

 

[MrPing1000]

I only just caught on. Where did he go? The Hacker killed him?

 

[-Fightnfire-]

That is awesome

Can you search his username or something and see when the last time he posted was? It's MyNameIsJeff according to the site above.

I have an SA account but it's not Platinum. You have to have a Platinum account to do searches.

 

[MrPing1000]

Actually May 17th was his last update which wasnt that long ago, maybe he had exams or something

I dunno man...either that or he's got his fingers cut off.

Same as TheShadow said.

 

[mjq jazz bar]

The part about him not being heard from is just a joke...

 

[Justin Bailey]

Whoever runs p-p-p-powerbook.com (which I assume is him) last updated on May 28, so who knows.

 

[MrPing1000]

ahah his ebay account feedback has one from june 13th http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=mynameisjeffharris jeff has not been murdered yay

 

[The Shadow]

Now that I know the story behind Pipski's custom title, I think that's probably my favorite on SA.


...

Hrm...where are the smilies? :lol doesn't work.

 

[BigJonsson]

Holy shit that was funny

 

[MentalNoiz]

Oh that is so damn funny, thanks for posting it clip ! My best friend has been scammed before on eBay, so I enjoyed reading it tremendously .

 

[clipunderground]

Heh... what put it over the top for me were his online buddies doing survillance on the place were the goods were to be delivered. That shit was great. lol

 

[EdLuva]

haha

 

[human5892]

That was incredible. Jeff is my new hero.

 

[Blackace]

[UtadaBarkley]

One of the funniest things I've ever read.

 

[All Hail C-Webb]

???
The link goes to a story about a survey of what underwear women like, and it's not funny at all.

Edit: Is it the powerbook prank?
