I'll be updating that site as more information comes in. There are a couple details I left out because I got lazy. I'll go back tomorrow and try to get them.

I can automate pings when I update that page so if anyone wants notifications, PM me.

Just doing a goggle on the phone numbers, this clown has been pulling the wheels/ipod/macbook scam over and over. I think it is time for Treasury and the FBI to do a little field work.

Nice Summary

I've been reading the whole thread ... and your summary page is still awesome!

Thanks E1000

What is truly mind boggling is that this whole affair only took 12 days so far.

I can't keep doing this. I left for 5 hours and 12 new pages were posted of pretty much whoring. No offense guys, but the info is now slowing to a trickle. I've found that my entire time spent on MBWorld.org is now encompassed in this thread.

Ah heck, even if 20 pages are added before I check this again, I'll probably read through it.

Seriously, all noobs to this thread need to either A) take 4 hours out of your life and read the entire thread before posting, or B) read the summary

oof. Now I can't sleep.

You bring up a good point. I think we need to refocus this search. We can't possibly find any more information on this kid. We practically have his lunch money from the 5th grade.

I think we need to move onto victims - locating, identifying them, possibly bringing them here and organizing this all so that they can register multiple offenses to the authorities. We can post all kinds of great information all day, but in the end, that's what's going to get him. A fat list of people that can attest to having been ripped off.

Interesting

I have read through most of the post, while it is very interesting to see how this is unfolding, I do want to make one thing clear for myself.

A lot of the information of the scammer is based on the un-covered car license plate number, but as far as I know, unless you have the original PS format picture, you cannot scratch the white box and revealed the license plate number.

A JPG/BMP/TIFF has only 1 layer, so you cannot actually remove the white box and see the layer underneath it. I am not doubting the authenticity of the revealed license plate number, just want to know how is the number retrieved from a masked forum picture.

Greetings from S2ki!

This thread was posted, and I have spent the past 2 hours reading over this. You guys already know you have done amazing work, but I will say it again, great job.

The job is not yet over, but this guy is for sure going down.

I love the fact that people who share the same passion with cars can all come together to bring a scammer down.

If anyone wants to fly me out there I will go knock on the door and say I'm looking for some rims for a benz :P

Good luck, but you wont need it. I will continue to follow the thread as well
