It appears a guy from the UK has gotten some poetic justice after being ripped off over a ps3. Here is an excerpt from the article:

"My first thought was that I could try and pretend I had found out where he lived but it was all a bit of a cliche and it wasn't going to worry him really," Mr. Joseph told theTelegraph. "Then it just occurred to me you can copy and paste things from the internet and into a text message. It got me thinking, 'what can I sent [sic] to him' which turned to 'what is a really long book', which ended with me sending him Macbeth."

Macbeth soon led to Hamlet, Othello and 19 other plays sent via text message. Mr. Joseph simply copies and pastes the plays into his phone's text message field, and sends them off to his scammer. When they reach the scammer's phone, they presumably come through in 160-character segments — meaning the 22 plays Mr. Joseph has sent were broken up into a very irritating 17,424 text messages. Basically, the fraudster's phone hasn't stopped buzzing for the past week.

Pretty clever if I do say so myself. I'm kind of curious as to how this all turns out. Here's the link to the rest of the article:

"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
