If you want to mail me a cheque that is ok too.

American checks don't have "q"s.

 

[raynmanas]

I'll have PP coming this week for everyone

received mine, thanks. my wife was an attempted victim of a venmo scam last week where they "accidentally" sent her some money and harassed the hell out of her to send it back, she made them go through venmo to reverse it. so when your paypal ID wasn't immediately obvious to me, i thought i was being similarly scammed.

That sounds like the worst scam ever.

Scammer: "I accidentally sent you money. I need you send it back"

Me: "No"

Scammer: "No really. I may be forced to take legal action"

Me: "OK, I'll check... No"

Scammer: "I mean it, this is serious!"

Me, actually checking to see if I have money from an unknown source, and seeing nothing: "Maybe it didn't come through. Try sending it to me again..."

Check.

It's not our fault Americans are so dumb they can't learn an individual spelling for words that have different meaning.

 

[Payback]

Received mine. Thanks for the sweat!

Be happy I didn't spell it "✔"

Let's not start abbreviating things with a chequemarque.

but the money does actually show up in your venmo account. basically they send it with a stolen card. it eventually won't clear, and venmo will pull it out of your account at that time. in the meantime, you have already sent them back $500 from your account, which did clear because your bank account is the backup. or something to that effect.

Tricky trixsters.

Yup. This is just the new version of check kiting.

Yup. This is just the new version of check kiting.

I suspected Poppin's payment shenanigans involved some form of kiting nonsense as well. Also very similar to the old school fraud where people give you a check to cash for them then lo and behold the check bounces. Or someone “overpays” by accident and asks for a partial refund. All these are flavors of the same crack pipe.

Queer ones do.

 

[Anthony Martino]

For those still waiting on payment, my PP shows the funds should clear tomorrow. Provided that happens I will issue all remaining payments, thanks for your patience!

 

[WedgeRock]

I have no proof of this, so YMMV, but I do not think @Anthony Martino is Poppin's second account. Transactions appear above-board.

 

[Anthony Martino]

Money cleared into my PP this morning, I have sent out all remaining payments. If there are any issues please let me know, and thanks again for all the support!

 

[Jonesey07]

I had a problem with my payment. It seems to be a little... short.

 

[Highli99]

This investment performed much better than Crypro!

It's important to set the bar low for @Anthony Martino .

Well it was from Anthony. Did you expect a tall payment.

 

[Poker Zombie]

Anthony takes $382 of my money and turns it into $250 over a 12 tournament run.

I take $400 and turn it into $82 in a one day meet-up.

As I see it, Investing in Anthony was a massive win.

I'm now offering to turn $382 into $276, only available for a limited time, don't miss out!
