Craigslist hoax

This is terrible.
Whoever did this should get 25 years.
Those who profited should get jail time.
Craigslist should also be sued.
:blowup:

Well, this made the newspapers here. I had to do some googling to find the video as I figured you guys wouldn't understand the Dutch newspaper article....
I noticed it especially because recently some guys from the www.gameroom.be forum had been scammed too. There were 4 quite nice pinballs on offer on the Dutch equivalent of Craigslist for a very good price, way up in the north of The Netherlands.
Now, I think they should have checked out the seller better (ask pics, specs etc) but anyway, they drove up 4,5 hours from Belgium to about the northest part of Holland. When they arrived at the address, the occupant knew nothing about any pinballs at all. He was nice enough to give them a cup of coffee though, before they headed back home for another 4,5 hours driving.....
It reminded me of the thing that FrizzleFried was victim of, but at least that was in his area....
These things are SICK. I hope they have the IP and can find out who it was.

Even if, I doubt it does any good with Craigslist. Craigslist isn't very pro-active with protecting their users.
Of course, a certain other site is way too over protective and you can't even operate within it without tripping over some lame ass rules. My ex took over one of our old shared accounts and has been charging her fees to my checking account. I got so fed with their lame ---smurfing--- rules trying to correct it, I called my bank, reported it as fraud, lodged a complaint with the BBB and sent the appropriate letter to my lawyer.
