Quoted from Mrtattooz:About 1 month after he bought my LW3 he textex me at around 2:30 am and asked if I could send him some money via paypal and he would knock it off of the machine. He said he was at the casino and didn't want to stop playing just yet.
I told him to give me a minute to see if I could
Okay lemme stop you there ... a guy you met once or twice texts you at 2:30am asking you to paypal him cash because he ran out of money at the casino but doesn't want to quit gambling yet ...... and you're like "hmmm, lemme check if i have the funds."
Quoted from Mrtattooz:I told him to give me a minute to see if I could and before I could check my paypal he messages me and says " I sent you $600.00 . Send it back to me through friends and family." I then asked him how that works and he said he was using his company credit card and getting an advance on it and that his debut card would only allow a $400.0p a day limit. I sent him the money back and all was well. He then 2 hours later asked if we could do this again and we did it for another $600.00. Over the next week we did this totaling nearly $4600.00
Dude! How could you possibly not think this was shady as hell?
Quoted from Mrtattooz:and paypal hadn'tv flagged the transactions. I figured if it was a scam paypal would catch it and stop it before this money could be sent seeing it was being sent from his business Fullhouse Arcades. Anyway skip ahead about a week and a half and I'm purchasing my kids a swingsetvon Ebay. When I went to buy it I then realized I was robbed. I knew I had at least $2900.00 in paypal, but when I logged on I was nearly $3200.00 negative.
Ugh, it sucks that your children and family were affected by this drug-addict gambling-addict dirtbag and I'm glad you pretty much got all your money back, and i'm not normally one to blame the victim, but you gotta be smarter than that. Live and learn I suppose.
Anyway, thanks for spreading the word about a scammer. That's a positive contribution to the community.
