Surely Twitter must have some kind of report function for scammers/trolls etc

I honestly do not know how people like him sleep at night as someone has previously said ..... should be banged up imo and banned from using the internet

I'm hearing he's active on Twitter again. He has an account opened in May 2021 as @STrading21

I cannot understand how this man has not been arrested!
If he was a PC payer and was avoiding it, Betfair would pursue him with every fibre in their power

Fraudsters however.......seems less of a concern!!
They just shift the blame onto the poor souls duped by him, saying it's their fault for being stupid and being conned

Sounds like he’s wasting his time on Twitter.

He should try his luck on here. The murky world of the forum private messages is seemingly the place to go if you want to sell something. So long as you’re doing it for charity !

Really?
Oh that's nasty......I haven't received one
Perhaps they don't send them to people who have been around here for a long time

That's gross, if BA users are being approached like that by other users

It always fills me with dread when this topic re-appears
Well done on finding and posting his latest ID though

My apologies, I've not been here for a couple of weeks
Clearly missed the point

You haven't missed much. Just another pointless thread getting 40 pages of comments in a week, while other fairly interesting topics get tumbleweed. Business as usual.

I'm pretty sure nobody has or would have fallen for it, not even goat. :)

Unfortunately quite a few have, one even stumbled across this thread before and asked for advice before still parting with 5k despite all our warnings.

To his credit he did post up the full dialogue he had with the scammer (its somewhere in the middle of this topic) and you can see how it all unfolds, how he basically takes all the money in one go and then begs for more.

Its quite a disturbing read

Edit; it starts from Page 5

I was referring to this week's thread, but yes, that was quite disturbing. Even more so when you consider that would be just one of many victims. Makes you wonder how he manages to sleep at night!

I am intrigued at the prospect of a French sports trader, never come across one before, too bad he's marked down here as a scam artist.

Lots of Scandinavian sports traders & Eastern Europeans & Australians why not some French? lets broaden ther base. :D

I'm sure there are sports traders in every corner of the globe, but I think France has no bookies and the Parimutual has massive overrounds, so it's not likely to have taken off like it has here.
