I found this link on a HT forum I frequent. It was posted by a mod there.
I was warned in a PM (thanks P.Fil) that a registered HTG user by the name of cdubzon40s was in our area and to be wary of his actions. A link was provided that showed what this warning was all about.

The 411 is basically cdubzon40s tried selling auto parts on the net ($100) and then reneged on the deal, saying he wanted $125 for the part and would not ship it until he got the extra money, even though he had already cashed the cheque. He also advertised the parts as new never used, however it was also discovered by that forum that he had actually used them and he confessed after he was confronted about it.

He proceeded to trash talk and name call the members of the forum where he had his parts for sale. In the end they found where he lived, posted address, phone numbers, high school pictures, pictures of his truck, photoshopped pictures of him, photos of his parents, websites of his work place, affiliations.....etc

    Yup, that dumb kid is going to be hounded for a good long time. I read a few of the 73 pages of this fiasco! This thread has just about been put all over the world LOL!

    Hopefully the dumb jerk will learn something, if not he will probably never be able to sell another piece of gear again!

    But the bottom line is The guy he messed with got his money back, & the kid just might end up in court for harrassment.

    Pirate4x4 is extremely hardcore. You don't jump in as a newbie and expect to get any respect. They stood up for the guy that got ripped off, in a big, big way

    He definitely deserves it. I lost count how many lies that a-hole has admitted to.

    I love how he comes off talking like a tough guy at first, then its "I dont care what you guys think" then its "please stop!"

    Yea, I used to frequent pirate 4x4 quite often, although never posted. As far as ive seen, that is THE most hardcore forum online. If youre not a professional offroader thats had a few years of experience, then its best for you to just read.

    I actually found that thread at page 2 and have been reading it as it progressed, even still, it was hard to keep up after a few days had passed. Its been around forums all over the internet. Im a member of fullsizechevy and the same kid was a member there and had over 1200 posts, as soon as that thread made it there it went pretty bad too.

    Its good to see a bunch of ppl sticking up for whats right and the kid obviously has a lot to learn

    Cyber we all know... Schadenfreude is a German word/idiom -- there's no true translation, but its rough meaning is taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune -- literally "shameful joy."
