Pat’s Point of View

Man sells faulty laptop on eBay. Buyer tries to get refund. Seller refuses. Buyer discovers hard disk in laptop contains buyer’s personal information. Buyer creates website exposing the weird and scary information. Seller attempts to debunk buyer with a series of ridiculous false personas. Seller becomes the butt of one humongous joke, not to mention the subject of a media storm (Daily Mail to name but one). Buyer receives so much attention he ceases action and calls a truce. Other interested parties continue the campaign against Seller.

And so it goes to show you can’t get away with anything these days. This whole saga is quite amusing, and altogether justified. The half-wit who sold the laptop in the first place should be named and shamed, but I can understand the buyer’s reluctance to continue as it blew out of proportion. The seller seems pretty dodgey and I wouldn’t be surprised if he did something even worse in retaliation. Scumbags like this wouldn’t think twice about trashing your house or getting their friends to give you a good beating. I mean he’s already made some pretty serious [false] accusations against the buyer.

And to think all this because the idiot doesn’t know how to format a hard disk.
