That’s horrible. For $150, I’d hate for someone to post my particulars on the net or wake someone’s ire. But then again, I probaby have more to lose than this guy. These scammers don’t realize there are just certain people they shouldn’t be crossing.

Yes, I agree, if someone specifically claims they are honest, I’m immediately suspicious.

It’s a good thing you hedged though. I’m going to remember that for when I deal with strangers.

I read a story about a guy who had gotten scammed on ebay finding and calling the culprit’s mother. (It would be something of a trick, unless the guy lived with his parents). But once the victim had spoken to the culprit’s mother, he got a call back within 15 minutes and a refund within a few days.

This is unacceptable. I say sign him up for everything under the sun, pizza, porn, magazine subscriptions, aol….anything else you can think of. If you have speed dial just program your phone to call him day in and day out. Maybe some public shame would do him good.

For anyone that’s still keeping track of this post, check out the number of trackbacks (below), and then pop on over to Google, enter Carl D. Grossman, and hit the I’m Feeling Lucky button. Even if you leave out the D, this post is coming up high on the first page of the search results. Now just imagine what effect this could have if an employer (or even a propspective date) chooses to Google this dude after meeting him.

KC,

Why should he complain about it on his blog? BECAUSE HE CAN! Remember, Jim did everything he was supposed to do. Carl Grossman did not. Carl Grossman chose to act like a jackass. He’s gonna pay for that $150 he stole.

Jim,

When someone tells you they are “honest,” they are not. Someone who has to say that they are honest is hiding the fact that they are not honest. It’s a shame you had to find it out this way.

If you feel not that bad about it – “only” – then why complain online about it?

Did you want us to keep prank calling him repeatedly?
And how would he know that this bad fortune is a result of this one scam?
