Warning about new scam

[dave1888]

Hi all this is not a complaint about a casino more a warning about a new scam. I've been approached 4 times this week on a few forums.

What the scammer does is says "hi you are the one I can trust here please send money to my neteller if I send to your paypal" So I said sure send the money and I will send to neteller for you.

So the money didn't come so I messaged again "ok send the money and I will send to your neteller". T

he scammer then proceeded to say send to neteller first then I send you the money to paypal. Now the first time it happened the person from the forum was a real contact I've spoken to.
However, it was not the person I know. The neteller email when I did a paypal request for the cash to send them was Tania.righi92atgmail and name Silvia Righi?

So this person obviously has a few aliases? Basically I know many of us are on different forums so keep your wits about you.

I just said "sorry can't send the cash as I'm broke" (obviously I'm not) just to shut them up. Then reported it. Under no circumstances unless you know and trust the person send any money when people suggest this stuff. I'm on the phone to paypal right now to report the email address .

Cheers

The main reason this scam is particularly dodgy is they are hacking peoples accounts who I've had a lot of correspondence with. Cmon man if ya gonna scam me at least use an email kinda close to their username! absolute cretins!

They've been here before too. Then I guess they realized it was smarter to try through pm's instead.
Help me transfer paypal money to skrill if you're stupid!

The one who pmd me contacted me was Italian but as I said it was much more devious they hacked a regulars account I've warned everyone on the forum it happened on immediately that it's an imposter.

In all seriousness if the person had sent to my paypal first Id send to neteller no worries. But there is no way in hell I'm sending anyone a penny if they don't send me the cash first.

Definitely man but just a small number of people. I got scammed on twitch once by a guy had been speaking to him for about a year nearly and had known him from robs stream. Anyway I send him 25 ukash to do a joint bullet and we split the winnings. He won 80 and kept puttng off paying me back the 40quid! The same guy scammed margate out of 2 grand though so I got off lightly! Since then I've been very careful.
