Ponzi scheme - north of $35,000

Guy was a good friend of one of my close friends. Faked letters that he worked from a bank and was getting a 5-6% return per year, so nothing to fishy. Even provided fake tax forms.

years and years ago I bought a camera off eBay. paid average selling price, about $600 bucks and got a box in the mail with a picture of the camera in it. contacted paypal and they said he delivered the item because it had tracking. nothing on the eBay ad said it was a picture. Contacted police, they did nothing.

Never been scammed.

I invest money, but only in large companies with long track records.

Recently locally it's been discovered that gas stations here been hit by scanners that are reading ATM cards at the pumps, so I don't even pay at the pumps any more - I go inside to pay.

purecane · 09-05-2013, 11:31 AM

a friend of mine is a pool builder, his father a home builder. together they invested with a guy who promised to buy and sell high end exotic cars for a profit. they first gave him close to 400k to buy two bentleys. he returned to them a week later and said that the deal was done and money was processing and because of exchange rates would take a few days. he produced phony receipts and asked for another 400k...they obliged thinking the deal was good. after that, the guy left town and moved to virginia. over 800k lost. the cops found the guy, arrested him, but the money was gone.

The only somewhat scam I had was a webmaster I had talked to and bought some content from contacted me and asked if I could do a epass for Paypal transfer (this is back before Epass crashed and burned). They needed $200. I agreed. I sent them the money via Epass and only after I do my transfer do they tell me that It will be a day or two until they can get me my money. They are selling some content to a different webmaster and they will have that webmaster send me the payment for it.

I wasn't happy about it, but about 48 hours later the money did show up in Paypal.

However, a few weeks later this person never got their content. I contacted the seller and was promised they were shipping it out ASAP. A week later still nothing. The person that bought the content then tells me they want a refund. If I don't give them a refund they will be going to Paypal with a complaint. They tell me that they realize I didn't have anything to do with this lack of service, but I was the one who got their money.

I ended up refunding their money because I didn't want to deal with a Paypal investigation since I used my Paypal all the time back then for selling stuff on Ebay.

Every week for six months I contacted the content seller asking for my money and never got it. Eventually they made a post on GFY offering content for sale and I posted in the thread how they scammed me out of $200. Someone that bought some content from them made a deal. If they got a certain price on all the content they would give me the $200 was owed.

So, in the end I did get my money, but it took six months and was a pain in the ass. That person that scammed me had the balls to then ask me a few weeks later if I would consider doing another transfer for them.

Oh, and I guess iBill does owe me about $500 from when they went out of business.

In my early 20's, my uncle had his own plumbing company, through which he also bought/sold drugs. He hired my cousin and I to do the digging and prep the pipes. My cousin and I worked tirelessly for 4 days, digging and laboring. After which, we were required to pour concrete. The agreed payment was $18 per hour, which would have totaled at least $864.

At the end of the job, he gave my cousin and I $60 and 12 pack of PBR. I complained to him, which ended up having us tossing threats of street justice back and forth. Seeing as he was a tad more gangsta than myself, I backed down. But not even 3 months later, he was stabbed to death by his wife, my Aunt.

I Trusted someone in UK As i knew him through internet.

several times over the last 10+ years I sell something on ebay and they charge it back. Money lost and they have the item.
One guy returned one thing and said all 10 were in the box. I has the exact weight and even opened the box at the post office while being recorded and still got screwed. Paypal even said it was clear I got screwed but did nothing about it. Paypal are the crooks if you ask me

ajrocks · 09-07-2013, 12:20 PM

Affiliate pre-pay deals are always a great way to get scammed. Brandon Tarloton AKA Brandon is a huge scammer. He isn't on this board anymore but he's a troll on others. I hope to meet him in person one day.

Yeah, until YOU get arrested for doing something.

The Ponzi scheme that I got scammed in, one of the other guys drove to this guys house and sat on his front porch with a gun in his lap asking for his money back.

He was arrested and charged with some pretty serious crimes and spent time in jail. He claimed he had it with him encase the scammer had one, but who got it worse? The Ponzi guy spent 6 months in jail, all his assets sold and agreed that a large % of his income will go towards repayment... btw, he moved to Ireland to be with his "sick mother."

The guy with the gun, spent some time in jail (unsure how much) but did hear the Ponzi guys WIFE sued him because of threats to their children that were in the house. He lost probably 2x more.

Regardless, if your going to try and scam a scammer, you have to be pretty damn good and in a way you won't get in more trouble over it
