I used to be a lurker here and about 2-3 months ago I saw the then Vegas_Vip was asking for a transfer. He posted his aim, and I contacted him. He scammed me out of Nearly 250.00. The reason I say they are the same person is because the scamming style is similiar.
It always starts out with him asking you to send a nominal amount first, usually 25 percent of the total transfer. He then says he will send double that after he gets yours. AChustler's style was exactly the same.
$1000.00 transfer... Send me $250, then I send $500, then u send $250, then I send $600. There would always be a high vig involved as well. He is a unique scammer in that he promises both high vig as well as a decent chunk after you send just a small amount first.
I sent Mike Haven these details as well.
Thanks for the quick reply. That is exactly the kind of answer I was hoping for.
IMO, your evidence is strong, but your conclusion is conjecture at best. If you have additional evidence, please let us know.
Since this is a message board, and not face to face conversation, the subtleties of our language are much harder to convey. I realise that my tone could be interpreted as uncaring. I want you to know that my intent is to be opposite of that.
This thread could use another set of skeptical eyes. Your recent invovlement here, and the nature of your posts lead me to believe that you may be interested in helping.
If that is true, I hope that you don't mind me suggesting a modification to your approach.
Please don't be so hasty with your conclusions. Post what you know, and let others reach their own conclusion.
Folks are here seeking reliable trading partners and need solid verifiable information.
Please bear in mind that it may look like I'm splitting hairs, but in this tricky business of dealing money with strangers, the devil is in the details.
