From patgizz on ChevyTalk...

this is hilarious. a guy was hotlinking one of the dude's from camaroz28.com's pics of his $600 PIAA headlight conversion to sell junk $30 foglights so he caught wind of it and changed the pics on his site accordingly.

it's pretty hilarious, i wish everyone could catch scammers like this!

It's still linking, that's some funny shit.

very cool indeed

 

What a hoot. I wonder if the guy even knows what is going on?

 

Now THAT's funny...
It would be even funnier if they threw his ass in jail, but you can't have everything I guess.

Couple years ago I won an auction pretty cheap on some 36 radius rods. Seller informed me that when he took them off the car they turned out to be rusted pretty badly and he couldn't in good faith sell them afterall. 2 weeks later this guy had them for sale again. Same pics and everything. He had a higher reserve on them the second time. Guess I didn't bid what he wanted so he wormed out of the deal the first time and tried again. When I threatened to turn his ass in to EBAY and the FBI, he "Found another set" and let me have them for less than my origional bid. And he paid shipping too.

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

I think they do

 

How did he get the guy's ebay password to change the site? Or am I missing something?

 

He just changed the photos on his own site. That were linked to in the description.

 

He linked directly to the camaro web page and used the images in the fraudulent auction. When the guy found out, he swapped out the real images on the camaro site so they would appear in the ebay listing to bust the guy on ebay.

 

Really, where can I get some of those Piaa lights?

 

That's the best revenge ever...

 

I didn't realize that all of the writing was linked from the site also. That IS funny shit.

 

Here is the picture that the eBay page points to:

 

Hilarious!!!!! lmao

 

that was by far the funniest thing i have seen all day

 

that RULES, almost 55,000 hits now!
