My heart hurts for my monger bro in this story!!! Knowledge is power!

I'm not sure anyone can save a guy STUPID enough to wire $6750 to a pimp/manager who he knows is in the Philippines. That, my friend, is kindergarten-level stupid. Very different from a guy who sends a $500 deposit to a reviewed provider.

i have done some stupid things in my life .. but heck  wiring $5K to someone you have never met that certainly is an extreme ..  but then again what about those people who wired their life savings to lotteries in Nigeria.  

I was a bit skeptical as well but I also think that might be some BS story as well.

And if this guy had a lick of common sense he wouldn't need us to tell him NOT to send the Nigerian Prince his life savings.

You guys are busting on the guy, but you believe his bullshit story. Good grief.

For example, how many guys have sent Marianna Maison deposits even after her scam was exposed on the Boards? Every few months a new thread appears.

Jensen and I have not been agreeing on much lately, but we BOTH allowed for the fact that the whole story might just be so much bullshit. Four people besides you replied, half of us said the entire story might be bullshit.

If true, that guy could’ve flown there, spent a week staying in a 4-5 star hotel, banged a bunch of chicks, and flew back for that or less. But, I don’t think anyone that dumb could’ve put together a coherent post on Reddit like that, so I say it sounds like carabao shit.

because there is no clickable link.  Unless the OP makes it easy for us to respond, its a pass for me.  

Not the OP but most of the followups.

There is no “saving” people like that. The best you can hope for is they learned from their idiocy and do t do the same thing again. Undoubtedly they will make other stupid mistakes though.

Most people easily swindled are either technologically inadequate (older people), inexperienced, or are just very naive/"stupid" .  

Yes, you can teach the "technology inadequate", (old people) or the "inexperienced" (young people) and yes you can teach the "naive" NOT to be confused with the "stupid"

sums up this situation. . . . . "God gave man a brain and a penis, but only enough blood to run one at a time."  The guy sunny is talking about is a classic example of this.  That's why so many guys do stupid shit when trying to get laid.

Again, being stupid is not a crime. My sympathy is always on the side of honest but stupid person. As opposed to clever and smart, but a dishonest one.

I got in sooner but TER is catty wompus. I've been having posts held for DAYS and reviews posted instantaneously - which has never happened, ever, until recently; 2021 is going to 2020.

Repeatedly making the same mistakes? (several post say or imply).

Yeah, laughing a low IQ is just mean.  However, laughing at evil people getting their comeuppance is one sin I enjoy.

Some would try to help, but majority would ridicule him,thats my guess. Whether or not ter could've saved him from forking over that money is a tough question.  

BOTH Perfect Storm and myself have walked the walk. I would put up either of our records of helping out newbies on TER against ANYBODY here, especially YOU.

I'm glad you finally came around to seeing me as I am. I've never been against mongers (or people in general) but my position has always been we're ultimately responsible for our own choices and success here depends more on "fixing ourselves" rather than trying to directly change/fix external world (e.g., agency behavior).  Helping someone make better decisions, have a better decision-making process, is much more useful to helping others.

and yes some of the ubersensitive around here won't even use the word "retard" calling it the "R" word instead, but let me ask you, just how many truly retarded people, I mean actually mentally retarded  people with sub 80 IQ's do you REALLY think are on this board to be offended???  

Where have I compared what I have done to what you or anyone else has done on here? You are making some weird assumptions.  

Again, not sure why you're taking it personally. I have never claimed I've helped more people than you, and never claimed anything about myself in this context.  

and gets all offended and torqued out of shape about shit you never even said. And this is the guy who gets on everyone's case about being reading challenged. It makes one wonder what kind of childhood trauma he suffered that gave him such warped little ego that forces him to take such offense and then pat himself on the back.
Jesus, what a pathetic display.  Don't let it bother you. It's actually kind of hilarious.

Who is there to help or not help on this thread?  Sunny is the OP, and he's not asking a question.  This a story he found out of the news about a guy who's not even here.  If the guy was actually here, even I would help him with suggestions of someplace better to send his $6000.  

Just to be clear, are you suggesting that it's not felony stupid to wire $6,750 to a pimp in another country who you've never met before (or even who you have met before)? If so, we might disagree on this one. Just sayin'.

Depending on the amount, a fraud can be a felony.  
Being on the receiving side of the fraud cannot be a felony.

EVERYONE here, with you as the possible exception is smarter than the moron in the OP.  

Does it make you feel better that you're smarter than the guy in op? I hope it does.

GaG, I'm pretty sure that the little RocketBoy likes the stick in his ass! And he is from the Bay.

No sir, I don't like sticks up my ass. Sorry to disappoint you there.  

OMG! LOL! Maybe I can create a fantastic history (sad very sad) and someone can introduce me to this guy  hahahaha 6K doesn't look bad at all....  I promes to keep the email exchange very active hahahahaha

I grant the story could be bullshit but the Imgur of the email exchange took some time to craft. The redditor would have had to have Munchhausens by proxy to get his jollies this way.
