Great story fozzy.

Years ago, I bought a rz engine ($1000) across the country.  Dude took the money and never sent the engine.
Was tired of emailing and calling.  So I built a website, mocked a page from google and put results with his name as the top link.
That link took you to a very "official" looking site that had his information and stated that he would was to be investigated by local  police. I sent a link to the google page in an email...  I got my money back the next couple of days

Got the door now and after them sourcing another one I am happy.
