The scammer actually found out where he lived and killed him.

RIP.

Nope, it's true too.

Yeh it was something like the scammer smacked the guy to death with the ring binder. Pretty Harsh.

The P-P-P-Powerbook scam is as old as the Internet itself, and a quick Google on the username in question suggests Jeff is alive and well.

Edit: After some in-depth Googling, it would appear that Jeff vanished after the scam (a long time ago now) and hasn't been heard from since. I assume all the other people using the username "MyNameIsJeff" are unconnected, but I have seen nothing official pertaining to any murdering. A few forum posts with people claiming they heard he had been killed, a friend told them, they think he was killed etc., but nothing official.

Thats crazy that the scammer went out and killed him, who knows if its true, but it does seem wierd that he just vanished after it happened

i'm sure he is alive and well ..........internet talk

I lie.

Jeff is fine.

Jeff is probably still around but for his own safety has stopped using the old username.

No, he posted a few weeks ago in a Battlefield 2142 thread if I remember correctly.
