Bent CPU Pins?

I've been reading this as well. Missed it the first time round.

Glad the result turned out well.

Did Ebay demand that you send it back? Also did you hear from the buyer after that?
 
Needs to be made into a film :p

Real good story, was worrying when some posters were saying to email the scammer telling them what evidence they have on him.

Should never do that, as they could easily remove the traces and you have one less piece of evidence.
 
Mother-Fudger!

Knock knock at the door this morning at 8:45, which I open to find parcelforce there with a rather large package for me. I open it up to find my motherboard returned to me. I am almost certain this is my one. Although I didn't take down the serial number, I was in a hurry and forgot, pictures show all the stickers on the board match up perfectly, even their positioning and slight wear, and the box is definitely the same, and those serials match up, so I think it is the board I sent him.

So, I carefully take everything out, taking pics of the process as I go, and finally get to the CPU socket. I remove the cover and what do I find?

Those pins have been absolutely destroyed!! Not only that it looks like there are a load of scratches on the resistors in the middle! What the hell did this guy do to it?!?!?! I can only assume that as a last resort, after I told him I have evidence, everything documented etc, he felt he had to return my item I sent him, but that meant it had to be damaged, and went ape-**** on it!

Haven't heard back from eBay yet but I am definitely going to the Police with this, that is completely unacceptable! The annoying thing is I am in exam period. I have an exam on Wednesday, my report due Thursday, and two more exams and a presentation the week after. I don't know when I will have time to do all this. I don't want to wait too long. I think I should be able to finish my report by the weekend, so will go to the Police then.

This has completely ruined my day and it has barely started!

holy **** that socket has been trashed!!!!
