My anti mustang sentiments don't allow me to register on that forum, but that is amusing. I just read the whole thing. I don't see why they haven't gotten the police involved in this yet. They seem to be moving rather slowly on things. Yes, what they are doing is messing with the guy, but... What's the point if all they want back is a phone? They should just call the cops especially seeing as how one of the head ones lives right across the street from him and get that little want to be gangster arrested.

EVERYONE GO AND REGISTER ON DIGG.COM AND GIVE "dig", or thumb up review to the "scammed in NJ thread", we need A LOT of exposure to make it to the front page, ONCE IT DOES, THIS THREAD AND THE SITE, TOGETHER WITH ITS MEMBERS WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE GREATEST PWNAGE EVER. It takes a min to register.

Linky.
