Perhaps one of the most legendary scam baits of all time. Enjoy, it's kind of long, but well worth it IMO:

Apparently nobody knows... I first read this ~3 years ago, and as far as I know nobody knows where he is.

What happened to the Jeff guy though?

Desi · 12-26-2008, 07:56 PM

This was all conducted on the SomethingAwful forums, a board I am a member of. If I recall correctly, Jeff vanished off the face of the internet some time shortly after this story.

FStop7 · 12-26-2008, 09:23 PM

Not sure if the prank was worth it considering it sounds like he got offed for his trouble.

Scorpion · 12-26-2008, 10:35 PM

Wow, that's crazy. Some ppl can't even scam correctly lol.
