3) Finally, and most disturbingly, Jeff was not heard from again. I personally e-mailed him for permission to run his story on ZUG, but after an initial response, I never heard from him again. All of his Web sites have come down, and he is nowhere to be found.

I don't know, but personally I would have thought twice before doing this. Maybe the scammer is some punk. Maybe the scammer is involved with organized crime. I really wouldn't want to find out which.

sounds like a no brain script kiddie to me, DOS attacks and credit card scams are so easy to pull that anyone with a PC can set it all up.
I doubt he was "organized"...in the mofia sense of the word.

Excellent read.
with a $500 profit to boot!

Re: Scamming a Scammer
 

I wonder if the address of the guy that he published was his real address or just some pickup point. I was about a 3 minute walk away from there tonight, I don't think it would be a good idea to try and find out though.

EDIT: After reading the rest of the article, I see the answer to my question.

Re: Scamming a Scammer
 

woa, wtf, the guy was never heard from again!!!

man, that went from a funny ass cool story, to like "uhm, I bet hes dead!"

Its an old story, no one ever found out what happened to him?

Re: Scamming a Scammer
 

Just go to the Something Awful message board and do a search for his SN "MyNameIsJeff" and see when he last posted. I'm too lazy and don't really care enough.. but go for it, Alo.
