What is Digg?95 Comments
- RadiantBeing, on 02/16/2008, -2/+12Interesting story, but don't spam Digg with it. I'm not going to create an account on your forum to read what is most likely an endless thread with a content to ***** ratio of 1:100.
- sfacets, on 02/16/2008, -2/+8I'm not going to sign up just to read this.
- shadowspawn, on 02/16/2008, -2/+7So let me get this straight: LEO's (NOT Officers of the Peace) illegally posted private information, against the forums own TOS, in an online manner? This is awesome, hope these guys retain their logfiles to prove IP addresses when the legal guys come a-knockin' on their door. These LEO's better hope that they wiped all records of access to this guy's files. Since y'know, he is in his right to find out who posted his info.
- geneticlemon, on 02/16/2008, -2/+7Buried because: 1) I'm not signing up for your ***** forum, and 2) Anyone could've taken a print screen of the more pertinent aspects of this discussion instead of spamming a link to the forum.
- valkyries, on 02/16/2008, -3/+7why is almost every comment being buried?
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -2/+5read shadowspawn's comment...so it's ok to break the law, since you are a "LEO"...oh wait!..they are above the law.....//s
- thenativeraver, on 02/16/2008, -0/+3I would have dugg if the victim wasn't a pig.
- SpaceDreamer, on 02/16/2008, -2/+4Why is almost every comment stupid, useless, uninteresting and/or spam promoting that website ?
You might see a correlation there... - shadowspawn, on 02/16/2008, -2/+4That's even better, nothing like harassment by LEO's, with proof, and boasting about it. So the guy is an alleged scammer. there are LAWS these LEO's should be aware of. But I'm sure they will be reminded of them by the month's end.

To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Travis Hill. I am the owner of an automotive enthusiast’s webforum called SVTPerformance (www.svtperformance.com). Recently one of our members, Steve Prusak (“sprusak1”) a police officer from KY, was taken advantage of by an online scam artists. In his search for relief he sought help in a forum on our site that is dedicated to helping people with minor legal problems. Many of the posters in this forum are law enforcement officers (“LEOs”), and they attempt to help the other members as much as possible.
So when the victim posted his problem, along with what little information he had about the scammer, other LEOs were quick to help. In short order members had found the scammer’s name, address, telephone number, date of birth, driver’s license number, social security number, and pictures of him. Some members even drove by his house to take pictures of it and his car. It was also discovered that there is a warrant issued for his arrest (in his home state of NJ) and it appears a local police officer lives on the same street as him. The local police have been made aware of his activities as it appears that he has scammed others recently as well.
Other members also found the scammer’s MySpace page and sent him messages along with a link to the thread discussing his alleged crimes. The scammer then joined our site and posted what amounts to an admission of guilt. He eventually begged the person he scammed to call off the other members and ask them to stop posting his information. However, new information is still being discovered and updates are continuously being made.
Since then the link to this thread has spread to hundreds of other forums across the internet and it is quickly becoming an online phenomenon. People are basically tired of seeing online scam artists take advantage of others and this thread seems to give them a sense of justice being served. I am proud and honored to see the online community come together in a common pursuit of justice. In this situation the predator truly has become the prey.
I suggest you read through the thread for yourselves. It has been growing quite rapidly and is becoming longer by the minute. In less than four days this story has been viewed over 46,000 times as of 11:00am EST. If you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them or provide any further information I can. - SpaceDreamer, on 02/18/2008, -0/+1learn this:
some people have a life and don't have time to read 15 pages just because someone was not bothered to write a summary.
Some people actually went to school, like you just suggested, and got a good job,
And therefore have little spare time to waste on a car forum.
Don't you worry about my reading skills, dude.
You should worry about my interest in car forums instead, and about the amount of time I'm prepared to invest in them. - badass98svt, on 02/17/2008, -0/+1Grow up you stipid piece of shlt. They police are out there to help you.
I hope you really need an officer one day and he just tells you to go F yourself - shadowspawn, on 02/18/2008, -0/+1who the hell in their right mind nowadays calls the "police" when they need help? We call our friends and family. No need to bring more criminals into the mix, we have to deal with your kind enough... thank you very much.
- inactive, on 02/16/2008, -2/+3i did. and i saw allot of cops, and cop wannabees spoutin off about about how some idiot got owned by a bunch of cops, misusing their power and access to information...i hate scammer's too, but i hate "LEO's " who abuse their power even more...
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -3/+4There is a great message behind it and a lesson to be learned. You only have to read first 15 pages to really see what occured.
- thenativeraver, on 02/16/2008, -0/+1I'm all for cops getting ***** in the ass.
~buried. - txlen1, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0LOL...this is gonna get whats comin to him and cry like a little girl in the lockup !!...
- txyaloo, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1Go look at the other threads on the site dealing with scammers. It's just a tight-nit community of car enthusiasts that stick up for each other when they get scammed. The thread has nothing to do with cops abusing their power. This type of ownage has happened on the past on svtperformance, just not to this degree. Douchebags need to learn not to scam, whether it's a cop they're scamming, or any other person on the street.
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -0/+0Maybe because a bunch of members joined up to give it thumbs up?
- shadowspawn, on 02/16/2008, -2/+2Law Enforcement Officer != Officer of the Peace. Remember that. LEO's wish to be hired. Officers of the Peace are recruited.
- DallasRacingTX, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0Great Job SVT!!!
- bobby375, on 02/16/2008, -4/+4Bravo!
I hate scammers and I share that with almost everyone on the car forums.. makes it too risky to take anyone for thier word online- because of guys like COR1COR.
It's also a shame that the local PD/bosses and PC media are too hesitant to approach this- I guess because Al Sharpton and his "posse" are right across the George Washington Bridge.
Ohh well.. - CORFTL, on 02/16/2008, -4/+4The unity on that forum is amazing! I hope this guy gets what he has coming!!! and WOWWW at the exposure of this thread / story!!! EPIC.
- dawssvt, on 03/25/2008, -0/+0SVTP is the best. A bunch of guys helped me find a guy who scammed me just a few months ago.
SVTP FTW!!!! - Sandgnat, on 02/16/2008, -4/+4Its about time people tired of wrongful use on the Internet. Great to see this group come together and try to do something about it. Maybe a lesson in here for all of us. Stand up now and be counted or risk this type of activity every time you do business over the web.
- er22bball0302, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0Great work Guys glad to be part of SVTP. The point of this wasn't to promote the site, but to put a scammer in his place like SVTP always does. Do some looking SVTP>*
- mmustangsrus, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0thats another reason why we rock !!! you mess with one of use you get the rest after your ass !!!!!!
- Frankentona, on 02/21/2008, -0/+0It's insane to actually see a scammer be hounded like this. Keep it up.
- SWATCOP, on 02/22/2008, -0/+0You retards don't know ***** from shinola when it comes to the law. Even the comments by the LEOs (with the exception of a few who stated what BS this is and were subsequently jumped on) lead me to believe that these "cops" probably never worked a criminal case in their life. Writing tickets and an occasional dope bust is probably the highlight of their careers. No cop that has been around for any length of time would waste the effort on this case. NOTHING stated by you morons has been proven true, including the "scammer's address". This is amateur hour for sure. If you only knew how absolutely retarded you sound you would be ashamed. Hopefully, when you grow up and either get out of highschool, or move out of your parent's house you will look back on this thread and realize what total asshats you were. Oh, and by the way .... the "scammer has been owning the SVT ***** since this thing started. Ever since you mental midgets gave him access to the thread he has been one step ahead of your idiotic plans of attack. Gee, who's grand idea was that? This is so weak.
- DOGIE, on 02/22/2008, -0/+0Well I hate to say it but It looks like the ownage change sides....All that hype and the scammer is the one doing the owning...I even read about a news story?? What will that be about.....
- txyaloo, on 02/16/2008, -1/+1Anything that was posted about this scammer was a matter of public record and easily found on the internet with access to public databases and records. Warrants, drivers license numbers and information related to licenses, tax records are ALL public record.
None of that information was posted by a LEO. That info was brought to light by various random members on the forum. - Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -0/+0You sorry excuse for life, loudmouth scumbags like yourself are usually the whinny bitches that call the cops over the smallest *****, but come online to say how "gangsta they are" and how bad cops are. End yourself.
- SWATCOP, on 02/22/2008, -0/+0...I even read about a news story?? What will that be about.....
I can see the headlines now ...
Auto Forum Retards Get Owned By an Internet Scammer, Film at Eleven. - SWATCOP, on 02/22/2008, -0/+0Epic ownage .... I think not. One thing for certain is that this SVT thread wins the internet award for lamest thread ever. Never before has there been a more high-fiving, crap-talking, back-slapping, display of BS ...complete with bad grammar. These retards couldn't "own" anybody and are in fact getting played and owned by the "scammer". I'm dumber for having read all 70+ pages of this crapola. Someone even suggested getting a network to cover this thread. I'd rather watch paint dry, it's more exciting. Do yourself a favor and pass this one by, unless you want a good laugh at a bunch of self proclaimed "bad asses" in a retarded quest to seek justice. Even the local police wouldn't waste their time with this one, prompting several of these homepage heroes to take matters into their own hands ...very unsuccessfully. Somewhere a village is missing several dozen idiots. My question is not whether or not they will achieve "epic ownage", rather how in the hell did these morons ever pass their driving test? Digg it? Yea, dig a hole and bury it.
- SWATCOP, on 02/22/2008, -0/+0It's official .... finally a moderator locked this collection of idiotic rants. Final score..... Scammer - 1, SVTPerformance.com - 0. Now THAT is some major epic ownage. Better luck next time. BWAAAHAAAAHAAAA ..........
- SWATCOP, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0You spelled thief wrong and it's "sinister" plot you 'tard. Get an education if you are going to post your words of wit.
- DOGIE, on 02/18/2008, -0/+0Good job?? I guess...I dont think the word epic is used enough over there, say it a few more times(not really)!! Most Scammers are not as stupid as this one. When you catch one that lies about all his information then i will be impressed! I dont see why this is on Digg but I hope you guys get him. And for the love of god quit saying epic, epicness!!!
- svtmember, on 02/23/2008, -0/+0I hope this works for me too
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -1/+0Valid point, I do not know why the original post here doesn't have a summary. If 15 pages is so hard to read for you, then I suggest you go back to school a little bit eh?
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -3/+2Valid point, the first post up above has some details, but not all, I really don't know why wasn't everything print screened.
It tells a lot about people helping a stranger for a good cause. There is good still in people. - DieselHog, on 02/16/2008, -2/+1LMAO...can you say powned!
- CoronaExtra, on 02/18/2008, -1/+0Makes me proud to be part of SVTP!
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -2/+1Just read the thread Yoda. You are spewing bunch of *****.
- Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -3/+2LEO's didn't find the info, random members did, and even when something too close to sensitive was posted, it was edited since they are verry strict with such. Scammer was allowed on to explain, he came and admitted that he DID in fact scam the person(who just happened to be leo in this case), just join up and read it, it will be clear after you do that. First 12 pages are the main ones.
- 1o1q1, on 02/16/2008, -4/+3Just read my comment it sums it up nicely
- SpaceDreamer, on 02/16/2008, -3/+2haha, "You only have to read first 15 pages" lol ...
oh wait, you were serious????
Damn... You guys should learn to write a summary instead of posting on digg and spamming the comments section until it looks like a graveyard - 2elet4u, on 02/18/2008, -1/+0SVT Performance rules all.
- badass98svt, on 02/17/2008, -1/+0SVTP for the win!!!
Does even try to scam us.
Get a job!!! - Newblet07662, on 02/16/2008, -1/+0Nobody really did anything that would constitute missuse of power, all they did was made sure we know that certain things are there but that was the extent of it really. Reading is your friend.
- Om3ga47, on 02/16/2008, -2/+1SVTP.com Live it...Love it...Do not ***** with it.
