Jean Delesse - Professional Betfair trader (scam)

[Dallas]

It looks like he's back on twitter - Gerard trader @sportstrade2017

A few days ago he said

"I am finally back after a long break of 6 month"

I could think of one or two other things that could mean!

I'm assuming he's not been doing porridge, Dallas?

I didn't think he was ever caught, unless he was serving time for other offences

[Dallas]

Looks like there is some hope, he appears to have had this account suspended already!

hopefully, it will continue to happen with each new one he tries to open

So the scammer is back? Lol.

Surely he can't manage to cheat anyone else.

Where can I contact him so I can string him along?

@Gerardtrader81 now deleted and seems to have become @TradingTennis.
Same profile, same posts.
He tried to approach me. After I saw his P/L all I thought was why the ***k would you be on here with that type of cash?
Simple enough to report the scam and move on.
Now if Mr P Webb would like to trade for me then that's different

[LeTiss]

He followed me when he was gerard, but I sent someone else a tweet including him. He then blocked me

This is why the shitbag gets away with it - anyone who cottons on to him gets blocked, leaving him searching for the vulnerable

I got followed by Gerard Trader on Twitter a few weeks ago. After reading your post I now see he's changed his handle to @tradingtennis.

As soon as I looked at his profile it struck me as odd because he has a few followers and thousands of likes, yet almost no comments on any of his seemingly-too-good-to-be-true screenshots. None. Not even calling him out on it.

I actually engaged in a conversation with him, starting with asking what software he used in his screenshots, as I'd never seen it. He said it was his "own platform linked to Betfair" after looking around for a while I'm pretty sure it's this:

http://www.zd8881.com/#/

which I've never heard of. So I thought that was a bit odd.

He then chatted (pretty much verbatim) about the same offer I've now seen others mentioning: Mainly tennis, pre-live, courtside, wallet management (sure), doubling monthly investment, all achieved by setting up a Neteller account, funding it, he trades with the funds and then takes 35%. I just ended the chat and left it there.


Just thought I'd share.

[LeTiss]

Did he not pursue you after that initial chat?

You're right by the way, that's him - I'm blocked from seeing his tweets or activity

[leewillo75]

same here .... I'm pretty much new to Twitter and he followed me and then sent me a dm re would I be interested in joining him. same scenario netteller double money 35% commission

Straight away thought oh he we go so engaged him for a bit he soon went away when I asked well if u are making 15k a week why do u need 10k of mine just reinvest your own profits

total scam

Is that Delesse's latest name or someone following in his steps?
His English seems to have got better if it is Delesse

[LeTiss]

Great spot Peter, that's him

Dublin Flyer done some magnificent detective work earlier in this thread, and exposed the guy

His name is Michel Benhammouda

Amazing how people fall for this - you kind of feel sorry for them but when they risk their whole pension on something so risky you just have to shake your head...
