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

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

@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 :lol: :lol:

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.

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

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

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

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...

I see this account was opened 3yrs ago, he must have a constant cycle of them bringing a new one to the forefront as the previous gets closed - no doubt he has several more waiting in the wings

He follows 5000 exactly (Twitter limit for most accounts) and uses it as a numbers game - there must be at least 2 of them who will be wet behind the ears. He's a scamming bastard, and I've been blocked for ages.

I sent him a DM asking if he was the same Michel Benhammouda that the fraud squad were interested in?
He blocked me immediately, suggesting Dublin Flyer was correct - that is the name of this bastard

So if JD is the main fraudster in the tennis trading game, who is good to learn from?
