Post his number on 4chan. That's real potential damage.

I paid cahs, since it was craigslist. Nobody deals in anything but cash, plus I've never had a problem before. Imagine my surprise when I stick it into my machine and NOTHING turns on. :/

Talked to the police, they basically laughed at me. Sad times. So nobody knows of any email bombers or anything like that?

Text messages? You are thinking too small!

Post his phone number, and have people record their voice calls with him. Pay a bounty for how long they can waste his time on the phone, with bonus BTC for being amusing!

I LOVE a good prank call, and I'm sure many people will donate a few dollars worth of BTC if this happens, assuming the OP is telling the truth and this guy deserves it.

As tempting as it is, I won't make any calls myself, since I am a pansy about breaking the law (recording calls w/o permission).

I could do this for you, but the spam would have to be sent  from a phone you own.

I say talk to the police about it. The method above could end up backfiring on you.

Some idiot kid on craigslist sold me an ATI 5850 that was bricked and now won't return my phone calls. Yay $150 paperweight.

how did you pay?  cash, or some other method?

And of course, further ideas for revenge would be appreciated! Smiley

well, if it was sold doa and there was no reason for you to think that it wouldn't be doa, then that is likely a fraudulent action.  you might be able to file a police report on that.

You could offer a small bounty for everyone who sends a text to him like .01 BTC or something. Then people could take screen grabs of their Google Voice proof or pictures of their cell phones.  Just an idea.

Hey,

Some idiot kid on craigslist sold me an ATI 5850 that was bricked and now won't return my phone calls. Yay $150 paperweight. I'm looking to exact a little revenge by making his cellphone largely unusable.

I'd like to find a way to send his phone a text every 10 to 30 seconds or so continuously. Ideally, these would come from different sources over time so that he couldn't just block whatever email address / server / phone number was, but that's not necessarily a requirement.

Not really sure what kind of bounty to put on a project like this, so uh...tell me what you can do and how much you're looking for?

And of course, further ideas for revenge would be appreciated! Smiley

{edit: dacoinminster has come up with a great idea! Bitcoin bounty for recorded prank calls to the stupid scammer - title changed to reflect this}

.1 btc bounty - That's $1.40! Cheesy to anyone who prank calls this number 281-685-0510, records it, and shares it with us here in this thread.

Scammer's name is Shawn Martin. Bonus bitcoins for hilarious content! Try to make it at an inconvenient time. Wink He is in the Central Time Zone US (Chicago time zone) as a reference

Quote
Caller suggestions:
1) Use a heavy accent, then accuse him of racism if he claims he can't understand you.
2) Tell him he won a big prize, then make him do something ridiculous to claim the prize.
    a. "TV Show: All you have to do to claim your $1M is dig a 6 ft deep hole in your parents' lawn before they notice!"
    b. "Radio Show: All you have to do to claim your trip to Tahiti is convince your parents you are gay."
3) Pretend you are an investigating a crime, and he is the suspect
4) Pretend you are an angry gay man jealous of his flirting with your partner
5) Offer $100 payment if he completes your survey, then ask lots of embarrassing questions
6) The old classic: claim that he called you.
7) If you are a girl, or know one who can pull this off: "Shawn, I'm calling from the doctor's office. I'm pregnant!" (For best results, have her talk in a hoarse whisper because she has laryngitis)
8 ) Extra points if you get him to divulge his address (where should we send the check?)

1 btc bonus bounty if you can figure out his address!
