Default UK Ebay scammer

So, if you had just been scammed on eBay, and you happened to have the correct UK mobile phone number for that person what would you do?

I've thought about text bombing, signing them up to various services etc, but am wondering what wondrous idea SN may have.

Amount in question is over £100, so it does need to be at least reasonably entertaining

call them up and tell them you know where they live and you will be coming for your money, or handing their information to the police.

I phoned the guy who scmed me, I had his address, and using google maps, blagged him to think I knew his local area and was coming down to see him. Next call was from his dad(!), who told me he would pay me asap.

Well I don't think the police will do anything unfortunately, just too small fry for them. Even though I do have their address I don't fancy the threatening thing. Just wanted something that could be done that would take up their time and or money and would put a smile on my face in some way

Anyone know how to text flood a UK phone? I can only seem to find ways of doing it to USA devices.
