So here is a typical AIM log with a scammer:



There you go, you just got scammed and you are super frustrated. Most people would just count there losses and move on, but I don't take people stealing money from me very kindly, so this is what I did and what I recommend you do if you ever come across a scammer:

1. Google the AIM username that you were scammed from - In this case iRockport x
2. Find whatever information you can from him, in this case I got his name and email - karl_clarke @ live.co.uk - Karl Clarke
3. Go find him on facebook, myspace, youtube, anything you can. In this case I found him on facebook: Scammer's Facebook
4. Look at what school he goes to, his address, phone number, etc. In this case I found out his school, Rosset High School in the UK. If I were to find his phone number instead which is more realistic I would have done a reverse lookup on his phone number.
5. Contact whoever you can that is closest to the scammer, in this case it was the staff/principal of the school.
This is the email I wrote if you would like an example:

Hello, my name is ******** and I am from America. I have reason to believe that one of the students of your school is involved in fraudulent activity on the internet.
The students name is Karl Clarke, and after some research of this name the only probable result seems to be this person I found on facebook:

On that profile I saw that he goes to this school, so I thought it would be appropriate to email the school staff.

The user scammed me over a virtual item, which is something called a 'keyvault' for the xbox 360. The transaction was only for $30, so at first I wasn't so concerned about it and thought that I would just brush it off and count my losses. But after googling the username the person was using on "AIM", (iRockport x) I discovered that I am not the only person he has scammed. In fact, he has scammed so many people someone thought that it would be necessary to make a whole page about him, located here:

[Insert Link here]

Please excuse the bad language on that page, but some people get very frustrated with fraudulent activity.

I have also called paypal, but they were really no help and in conclusion he will be getting my money without what he has promised me. I think that this is no fair, so hopefully upon contacting his school he might feel more compelled to give back the money he has taken, from not just me but everyone he has ever conned.

Also, please don't assume that this person is the scammer I am looking for, because he very well might not be the same person who scammed me. He just seems like the likely person to be who I am looking for.

Thank you for taking this email into consideration, and feel free to email me with any questions you may have regarding this issue.

Regards,
**********

So, in conclusion you don't really get your money back unless you call paypal and it wasn't a virtual item, but the scammer gets owned. Enjoy this tutorial and feel free to use the idea if you ever come across these people!


That was just an example, here are some more tactics from [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] that work great if you know them in person or have more info about them.

Box Floods

Box Floods happen to be one of the most time-honored traditions of the /i/nsurgency. All you need is an address and an online postal account. Within a week or two, your victim will receive thousands upon thousands of boxes. They will litter his front yard and piss off neighbors. He won't be able to get rid of them easily without dealing with the post office, and they will probably call the cops on the victim for mail fraud. This is one of the greatest tactics of /i/ and it's been proven time and time again.
Step 1: Create an account on USPS.com using a valid email. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or guerrillamail.com can be used for this. It provides e-mail addresses without the need to sign up.
Step 2: Go to USPS's store and order all the FREE boxes and mailing envelopes.
Step 3: Confirm the address and purchase.
You can order up to 20 free packs on a single account. So if you're not f***ing retarded, you can see that one account can be used to send 600 boxes. Multiple accounts are no trouble at all, so make sure to send a few thousand.

Fast Food Bomb

Fast Food Bombing (notably pizza) is a lulzy way of causing grief for your target, all from the comfort of your Mom's basement. Fast food bombing consists of sending copious amounts of fast food to a target. The food is delivered to the target's place of residence or business, where they will have to deal with a delivery order of 4 large pepperonis and a side of Coke and garlic bread.
PROTIP: Some companies will not allow you to send too much to one place at any given time. Therefore, only send a typical amount of food. Also, don't send food first thing in the morning, as that is too suspicious.
PROTIP: If there are several fast food companies near your target, have each bring a few pizzas.

IRL Mail
Gore Mail: Simple enough; just send pages of gore to your enemy through the mail. Make sure to vary the hand writing on the envelopes and the return address so they all look different, otherwise the target will just throw them away. A good tactic is to make the envelopes look official with the logos and such of your victims local council/government/tax office/police station.

SRS BZNS Mail: Make up some legit looking envelopes and letterheads. Send your victim letters of repossession, traffic fines, hearings about suspected income tax fraud, or send them to court. Be creative.

USPS Redirect: Goto a post office, say you are moving, or you are new to the area and need to redirect your mail temporally. They will give you an envelope/postcard to fill out and drop in any mailbox. To the best I know, there is no checking done on the part of the USPS. Redirect mail from P.O. Boxes and rural and carrier routes as well.

Business reply mail: This type of mail is similar to the above methods, except requires templates that conform to that postage systems standards. This type of mail as opposed to regular mail is good because:
It can be sent without a return address (nobody questions it.)
All the cost goes to the person it is being sent to (send them lead weights if you want.)
It looks srs.
All templates are in a landscape letter format, you just need to input the victim information, cut and paste IRL, find some "interesting" stuff to mail, and let lulz ensue. All templates work on the multi-platform Inkscape and require the font pack provided (link coming soon.) just Helvetica for now.

Free Diapers
Send your friend free diapers. The site limits one per location so send him one at work and one at home.


Tell-A-Friend

One of the most under-appreciated email spam tactics are "Tell-A-Friend" forms. Most often these forms are ancient and have spaces for multiple emails that do not check for duplicates. If you go to almost any website they will have Tell-A-Friend forms. Simply copy-paste the address of the email into all available slots, and send. It's even better if you use iMacros or another automated program to do this.
This tactic is one of the best since you can effectively turn any website into your own personal mail server.

Classifieds

Craigslist and Myspace have the ability to really f*** up someone's life. Every day thousands of people visit Craigslist to check classified ads. Can you see where we're going with this?
Craigslist is the obvious choice but don't forget that Myspace has a classified ads section as well.
Epic Idea #1: Post that "you" are having a garage sale. You are moving and everything needs to go. You'll have an HDTV there for $50, a stereo set for $100 and many other cheap ass high-end things. Steal pictures off the internet of "your items" for lulz. Enter your victim's address, and choose a date over the weekend. On those days your victim will have strangers coming to his house constantly asking for cheap stuff. Sometimes even the POLICE get involved. Why? Police track down thefts. If your victim is selling a bunch of high-end merchandise, it's likely the police will check it out.
Epic Idea #2: Post to Craigslist that you are selling "your" car. Make it cheap, something like a 1999 Ford F-250 for $2000 because it needs a new paintjob or something. Make sure to post "your" phone number! Be creative!
Epic Idea #3: Post a personal ad that conflicts with "your" sexual identity. Normally, this is best done by posting in the men seeking men section. You need to write an ad that is both believable and hawt so people will reply to it. Steal some pictures of "yourself" and "your" dick because ads with dick pics get more replies. Post "your" phone number and make sure you say in your ad how urgently you need to get laid. Soon enough "you" will have half the leather daddies in town calling "you" up. If you add that "you" are currently still in the closet and that denying that "you" are gay really means there are people around who "you" haven't come out to yet then you can get your unwitting partners in harassment to keep coming back to bother the mark waiting for them to be alone, if the goddess of lulz is on your side this could even produce an argument between the person responding to "your" personal ad and the mark's friends and or family about tolerance towards the marks true sexuality.
Epic Idea #4: Your own idea.
Epic Idea #5: Myspace Party! Myspace party


SMS Bomb Tactic

1) When somebody on the forums say pay 1600 for a modded lobby ask them for their phone # and because you're on a friends computer away from your home and that you would call them back to ask if your online to get online for the "legit" lobby, they sometimes will (LOL) when they do also take note of their provider (for next step) say something like my phone won't let me message or call people that are on different provider for some odd reason so what's your provider on your phone so i can check if I can call you.

2) If you do get phone # and provider go to SMS Bomber and enter in their phone # and choose from a list of phone providers then enter in a message where it says Message: and then choose an amount (no limit !) and delay (# of seconds you want text messages to be received at) and then for Email you must enter a email (to know if you have a working email enter some random thing like FakeScammer @ gmail.com and then put your phone # and provider and amount to 1 and send to see if you get a text message)

3) They should be WTFing on the other end and you'll put their phone through torture!
(This does work i SMS Bombed a friend with 1000 saying Bombing Test1 and it didn't stop vibrating for a whole hour!! XD XD)

Traditional Classifieds
Almost every newspaper out there lets you call in the ad you want to have in the paper and then they send you a bill for it. In other words, it's free. Look in your local paper and judging from the ads that are in there, think up something that would be a really hot item to sell such as a house for rent. (Houses and cars usually get the best results.)
Call the paper and tell them that you're Robert Paulson and you want to put an ad in the paper. Have something ready like, "Nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath, garage, den, dining room, great neighborhood, $300/month, $200/deposit." Compare your ad to the others in the "For Rent" section and be sure that yours is the very best deal in there.
As a phone number to call to inquire about the house, leave two. "Call Robert Paulson anytime 24 hrs at 635-8312 or 635-9207." The first being his work phone number and the second being his home. Now when an awesome deal like you've put in the paper is seen, it gets a tremendous response. I'm talkin' about his telephone ringing constantly for two days straight at the least.
He'll get in big trouble with his boss at work for receiving 2 billion calls. Even if he's able to convince his boss that he wasn't responsible, he'll still look bad. I mean, what would your boss think about all this happening? If he lives with his parents, he'll probably get in trouble with them too.
You may want to consider translating your ad into another language and contacting a foreign language newspaper. In some areas there may be a local paper in, for example, the Russian language. The victim will get phone calls from people who may not speak fluent English, causing them to argue in vain with someone unable to understand them.

Personal Ads
There are a lot of f***ed up lonely people out there. Sign your victim up to internet dating sites, and make sure you post your victim's information publicly. He will have calls and random people coming up to his house - possibly even rapists or thieves.
Craigslist has a Personal Ads' section. Have fun with it.
Public Toilet Personal Ads
If you have the targets mobile phone number, write in on the wall of a public toilet in a message similar to this "Hi, Im [name], [age], 11 inch uncut, seeking mature males for good time. Call: 04XX XXX XXX". Extra points if you do this to toilets that are known for gay soliciting.

DDHG

Add the target to the Don'tDateHimGirl database. Don't worry, it's not like you need actual hard evidence that they're a bad guy. Just write up some short sob story about how he took advantage of you while he was jobless. Hell, even if there's only a picture provided, most of the women on the site would believe you.
Before starting a profile for the target, run a search first to make sure you're not making a duplicate. If one already exists, support the /i/nsurgent who wrote it through the comments section.

Magazine Subscriptions

This one is pretty simple and even normal people do it to prank friends. Magazine subscriptions are easy to get, and paying for them requires no credit card - just the person's address. BE WARNED! You may have to step into the sunlight to get said magazine subscriptions. Wear sunscreen.
Step 1: Go to a book store or any place that sells magazines. You may also have some magazines you've already purchased or have in your collection, you can use those too.
Step 2: Rip out all the "Subscription" note cards. They're those flimsy little square pieces of paper that fall onto the floor when you are trying to read your magazine.
Step 3: Fill out the "Subscription" note cards in ink with a different style of handwriting. Put your victim's address and name on them.
Step 4: Put them in your local mail collector box. All of them should have "Paid Postage" - no stamps needed.
TL;DR - Get subscription note cards, fill them out with victim's info, mail them to magazine company.
Prostitutes

Go to Craigslist
Click on the state where the target is
Go to Services, and under that click Erotic
Call all the out call escorts--out call means that they come to you--and make an appointment with the target.
???
PROFIT!

Yellow Pages

This is probably one of the best things to do and can even become a major news event in your area. You pull out the 'ole phone book and open it up to the yellow pages. Now, starting from the letter "A" and working all the way to "Z" call up every single business in the book. Set up an appointment with every company in there for (example) Wednesday morning at about 10:00. Give yourself a few days to do it all and get all the appointment as close together as you can.
You can probably see what's going to happen. Wednesday morning at 10:00 his street is going to be totally filled up with a truck from every business in the entire area. From exterminators to furnace repair to roofing estimates, they'll all be there asking for Chris. (Try to make sure he's going to be home when they come.)
On Wednesday morning you'll want to make some calls. At 9:30 call up every pizza delivery place in the area and have a couple large pizzas sent to Chris. After that, call up all the taxi cabs and instruct them to come to your house to take you shopping.
Tuesday night you'll also want to make some calls. Every T.V. station and newspaper in the area will want to know that "something big is going to happen on Sullivan street" in the morning. Don't tell them what, just tell them that they'd be stupid not to get coverage on something like this. Also call up all your friends and have them call up their friends. Instruct them all to show up on Sullivan street at about 9:45 am.
As this will be an historical moment, bring a video camera and tape the whole event just in case you're not happy with the camera work of the T.V. stations. You might want to call in a false report to the fire department that Chris's house is on fire just to get them there and add to the confusion.

Crime Tips

This is a bit harder to pull off with no guarantee of follow-through, but it can be a great way to ruin someone's life. There have been stories of police teams busting in and wrecking someone's place looking for a "lead" that was offered to them. Police often have really crappy judgment. This can provide epic lulz.
First find the local police station in your victim's town. Google some local news. Find some stories about hit and runs, or recent unsolved murders. Things that happened within the last two weeks. Call their police station and offer an Anonymous tip. There are many things you can tell the police. Such as "my friend has an unexplained dent in the front of his car" or "he's been really on edge lately telling me about something he did that was really, really bad. I want to get him help."
With any luck this can offer epic lulz, a totally ruined life, and a bunch of news coverage.
PROTIP: Police will often require more than one "informant" before they go to the hassle of obtaining a warrant, planning the raid, getting their overtime approved, etc. So work with someone on this, be sure not to give the same information word-for-word, as police may catch on.

Piracy Raep
Report the guy to the police saying that he is selling pirated software. Result:
Police raid

1-800-COLLECT
For this you need to find more detailed information so they'll accept it and pay some ass-raping fees. Pretend to be a family member, and try to keep them on as long as possible (they'll probably hang up after 2 seconds flat, honestly, but if you're good...). Start a collect call. When the operator asks for your name, they'll be recording what you say so they can inject it into a pre-recorded sound byte that says something like "Will you accept a collect call from..." so you end up with "Will you accept this message from 'f*** you, David'" or whatever other message you can fit into the short time they give you to say your name. Only useful for being annoying/making threats, doesn't accomplish anything else. If you're a Britfag, the equivilant is 0800-REVERSE (0800 7383773).

Ruin a Marriage
Collect information about a married man that you know. Get a girl to call his house. If the wife answers, hang up. Do this another time. On the third time, ask for the guy. This will cause lots of suspicion. Keep this up for a month and see his marriage ruined. Also, send sexy gifts to his house, like used panties and love notes. Put in details about the guy so that the wife will think it's legit.

Job Applications

Easy enough. most fast food chains and local councils let "you" apply for jobs online. Do so.
You can also set up accounts on employment websites with just an email address that you have access to. Set up a good resume (not too good obviously) with your victims dox and apply for every job in sight. In the right industries, word of pranks such as this can get around, and your victim may find it difficult to find work again in their area if they lose their current job.
Purchase Orders

How to raep someone IRL using purchase orders (POs):
Corporations don't buy things by actually paying for them, they send out a PO, which is just a promise to pay later after the goods or services have been rendered. This is standard business practice.
Take an anonymous prepaid credit card
Buy an anonymous VoIP fax service
Obtain a professional looking form from a print shop
Fax POs through tor
Most companies will ship no questions asked after receiving a PO. Said companies will come after your target and sue them and ruin their credit, and they'll have f***ing tons of s*** that they don't know what to do with.
An anon has reported ruining huge using this tactic. He's had steel beams and giant drums of chemicals dumped on people's lawns. He's also also just given "PO numbers" over the phone, but if its more than 10k of s*** at once they'll definitely want a PO faxed. If its a big shop that has their s*** down like IBM or Adobe, no matter how much you order from them, even if its $5 they'll want a signed faxed PO.
tl;dr faek sum POs and corps will just do s*** for you. Imagine steel ******sgirders on someone's f***ing lawn (or shitloads of oxycotin)?
