This guy has ripped off a buyer of his gears, and things get a bit messy.
The first few pages are worth a read. Page 25 is a bit nasty too.

I read a fair wack of that.
The guy thought he was truly anonymous on the internet but he crossed the wrong guy. Another bloke on the
forum worked for a law firm and kney some stuff about snooping. They found out his email address,
home address, Google earth shots of his house, photos of his car, mobile phone number, photos from his highschool year book, his Dads company and pics of his girlfriend. The Lot, and all on the public record.
No-one is truly anonymous to someone that knows where to look.

Yup, it's easier than you think to find someone...
I've only just cancelled my PI license.
Sucked in is all I can say, bloody funny, I just can't get over how long that thread is, I couldn't read it all, just way to much. Good laugh though.

I'm amazed they would allow it to continue. Especially with the swearing there for all to see. I doubt if we would ever see that here or on any other 4wd
forum also.

Well I reckon there have been some golden opportunities here to "Wenzel" some people/organisations. Seems that when we have a bitch we forget the power of the internet.
Kind regards

Its only quite recent , but , it was starting to get used a lot in the US , after that thread became famous , and then spread around the world.
People just adopted the term "Wenzel" , as a ripoff term.
Bloody funny read actually.
