TRANSFER SCAM ALERT!!!!!
Posting to alert the community of a transfer scam that I was unfortunately on the wrong end. A player going by sn Monkey_Vzla - who's real name is Daniel Francis- recently scammed me out of $700. On Friday 2/12, a couple days after I had posted on here requesting a trade of my BOA for BCP (sashascoops)- Monkey_Vzla contacted me via DM. We discussed the details over Gchat (chat on Gmail) and I sent $700 to his BOA first- his account is
danielfrancis1989@gmail.com. About 30 mins after I sent him the funds on BOA he claimed he was waiting to deposit to BCP via bitcoin to then make the transfer to me- after about another 15 mins he signed off of Gchat and then blocked me on there.
I attempted to contact him via email and DM on 2+2, to which he has not responded.
He never returned my funds on BOA and I have since confirmed with BCP that no transfers were ever initiated from his account there (supposedly the same handle he was posting on here with, Monkey_Vzla, which is also his Twitter account- where you can also find a picture of this scamming scumbag:

I have contacted BOA's fraud team and filed a report against him. I am also going to the Massachusetts police department this afternoon to file a report, as well as having filed a report with the FBI's internet crime division.
I encourage anyone who comes in contact with this criminal scumbag to steer clear.
He did have supposedly one successful transfer with WEAKERTHANPAUL several days before this happened - which WTP looks to have verified in this thread- but apparently this was just an effort to build credibility and setup a scam.
If anyone has more info or knows this guy personally, I encourage you to talk to him because the action I will be taking with law enforcement and BOA is quite serious.
