Ecrofirt · Jun 15, 2004

awesome prank

MrPing1000 · Jun 15, 2004

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

Agent Dormer · Jun 15, 2004

Read that before. Fucking great.

Ecrofirt · Jun 15, 2004

yea, it was pretty awesome

Wario64 · Jun 15, 2004

Mr. E. Yis · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

ohamsie · Jun 15, 2004

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

Justin Bailey · Jun 15, 2004

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

Willco · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

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

HURRAY FOR GOON ELITISM!

Mugen · Jun 15, 2004

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

jiggle · Jun 15, 2004

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

AlphaSnake · Jun 15, 2004

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

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 · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

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

Justin Bailey · Jun 15, 2004

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

MrPing1000 · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

Holy shit that was funny

MentalNoiz · Jun 15, 2004

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 · Jun 15, 2004

Blackace · Jun 15, 2004

UtadaBarkley · Jun 15, 2004

One of the funniest things I've ever read.

All Hail C-Webb · Jun 15, 2004

???
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?
