I recieved an e-mail Thursday from a girl that I can't find any info on. However her story sounds legit and even a bit familiar. I think that I had a run-in with this same guy back in '04. Also, I got an e-mail from a friend of mine who said that this guy contacted her also. She said, "...when I told him I was not interested (I did not trust anything he was saying) he threatened to send my info to vice and have me arrested."
Here is a copy of the e-mail:
I want to let you know that there is a scam going on... All girls on Eros need to be notified.
What happened.. A man named Thomas called saying that he was a MGM host, from number 7028833115, though I'm sure he has a new number now. Said that he takes care of all high rollers that stay at the casino. He was setting me up with Johnny Chan, who is in town with a poker tournament, said that Johnny picked me and two other girls out from eros and that I was his first choice. Johnny wanted me for two weeks, possibly up to nine weeks. He was paying 9K per day plus tips and shopping. To set up the deal, he is to receive 20% of everything I would make. The deal sounded very good, I must say.. If you know Vegas, you'd know that this is the case for hosts, limo drivers, agencies, ect. (they want their cut in everything they set up)
Thomas said that the normal girl that Johnny sees was unable to get into Vegas so, in turn, he called me.
So, in order to receive the first weeks payment of 63K, I needed to choose to either receive seven installments of 9K or, wiring it into a corp. account. The catch was that Johnny didn’t want to wire it into an account because he would then have to report it and pay taxes on it... being that he wasn’t an American citizen, he didn’t want to do that. Made since, I wouldn’t want to pay taxes on that much money either. So, I chose the western union way, the seven payments of 9K. Well, Thomas said that in order for this to happen, it would go through the MGM system, and in order to know that they wouldn’t be sending it to just anybody, that I was serious about getting into Vegas, and not going to jip them on the 63K (being just as serious as they were), I needed to get my info into the MGM computer system. So, what they wanted, was for me to send $998 to anybody, any name, didn’t matter. This way, the computer system would recognize and in turn be able to release all the funds from the MGM. I told him that I didn’t want to put all that money into it, I wanted to see my end first... you all know how this game goes. But what made this sound too good to be true, was that this Thomas was willing to “put his money” into this, and just charge a small fee for having to cash advance from his credit account, being that I wasn’t wanting to put up 7 installments of $998. He said that as soon as the 63K was received by me, I would be able to cancel out the transactions and get my $998 right back. Yes, this was fishy. Yet, Thomas insisted that if I wasn’t willing, and able to get on a private charter jet to Vegas (which was already “prearranged”), he would have to call the other girl and she would be seeing Johnny. So, I proceeded. Then Thomas wanted me to send the money to a specific place, Upper Darby, PA. Yes, weird. But being the adventurer and out of curiosity, I went ahead, now the whole time, Thomas was on the phone with me “arranging his end of the deal.” We got off the phone, he was going to call me back in a couple of minutes with all the transaction info. In 5 minutes I called western union to see the status of the money, and unfortunately it was already picked up in Yeadon, PA. So, I called Thomas and left a couple of messages. He called back assuring me that this was all real and that the transaction was just transferring over and he’ll have the control numbers asap.. I told him to stay on the phone with me while he received the info, he diverted the conversation to the plane and the limo that was to be picking me up. The phone cut out completely, and I called back, to my dismay, the phone was completely cut off, no voice mail.. No ring. I believe that this was an inside job, as in inside western union job. Either that or a hacker job. All was done very smoothly, with a well thought out process. I have notified western union and will be emailing this to all escorts on eros. I believe that they will be targeting all girls on here. If you hear of anything like this, I encourage you to notify everyone you know.
Be safe
