(I think I mis-submitted previous attempted response)
Here's what transpired:
- I sent an email to someone who seemed to be touring; "Please come to XXXX (city)" via their X account email listed
- I got a response somewhat quickly, "I'm going to be in XXXXX on Feb 5th."
- I responded that I'd like to book 2 hrs on the 5th and provided my P411 for verification. I requested we change to WhatsApp or Telegram for communication and gave my phone # for that purpose.
- I got a text message from my area code (their home city was not in my areacode)
- Over SMS They proceeded to request a $350 deposit (which doesn't match up with what's stated on their website). I've booked touring providers before and sent deposits, so this didn't seem out of the ordinary for me.
- I asked to move to WhatsApp again and they ignored
- I told them I'd pay via Cashapp and they gave me an accountname
- I told them I'd send $1 test first but couldn't resolve the account
- Asked if I could use the posted email address instead and that seemed to resolve properly so I sent the $1 test
- They responded immediately saying "Ok"
- I sent the $350 to the email address (still on CashApp)
- They asked for a screenshot for verification
- I sent the screenshot
- They couldn't access the money after 1hr while repeatedly asking me for more details about the account I sent from and more screenshots
- I offered to send via Paypal instead
- I cancelled both Cashapp payments
- They gave me an account on Paypal that resolved to some male person
- I sent a $1 test amount
- They asked me for the $350
- I said I would not send any more money until they provided me with a selfie with them holding a paper with today's date
- I DM'd on X asking for their upcoming tour dates to see if they aligned with April 5th.
- They asked for deposit again
- I repeated my demand, and contacted another SP I know who had their social media spoofed before and I asked them if my request for a selfie was reasonable... they said "yes"
- They responded about 40 min later saying they were "working on" getting the selfie
- Selfie arrived about 30 min later. It was of the proper person, holding a paper, with a computer generated date on the paper. I know this because the numerals (2's, 0's and / slashes) were identical, and the background behind those numerals was pixelated and the rest of the paper was not.
- I got a response on X providing mock dates for a tour where the date range of Feb 4-7 in my city was included.
- 2 of my X posts were "liked" by this person
- I told them I would not be sending any further money unless they could prove they were who they said with a short video call. I provided a list of reasons why they were no longer trustworthy in my eyes.
- They sent me a long email pasted below. I never responded to this email.
- They blocked me on X
Their last email:
