Hi People!
The online community I am studying is www.4gea.com which as I am sure you know is about golf equipment. For about six years I have known a user on there who goes by the name "sds416." He frequents our chat room and was well known to be a straight shooter.
We have a Swop Shop, which you need an invite to access, to trade golf equipment and back in 2006 - "sds416" traded a set of irons but never sent out his set to trade. He then vanished from the board, entirely. No-one was able to contact him (previously he had been on GEA vacations so many of us knew him) and he just went away leaving someone seriously out of pocket and golf equipment.
A few months later, a new poster arrives in the chat room called "JDalyRules" and a couple of months ago he pulled the same scam as "sds416" and has now vanished. There are at least a dozen of us in GEA Chat who knew "sds416" and "JDalyRules" and in two years he never once made us realize his real identity.
The two people who were scammed spoke and realized they may be the same person. I offered to find out going through public records and such like and indeed they are the same person. Today, I confirmed his address and phone number and he will shortly be visited by some nice men in a tinted car who will persuade him of the error of his ways.

Amazing! There exists drama in the world of online golf chat. I just can't believe anyone would take the time and care to scam people out of golf equipment instead of something...more valuable? more fun? bigger?
Have you seen the cost of top quality golf equipment??
