Long story short I was greedy and the dude knew enough to make me comfortable risking a small amount of money. As soon as I sent it something clicked that should have clicked before and I started looking him up. He's been selling it for months using stolen ebay pics. I did find an ad in another group where the dude left his phone number though... Have $500 worth of fun with it.
This guy is a known Facebook scammer.
He basically trolls gambling and Vegas related Facebook groups and "sells" shit he doesn't have. Last I heard he was in Vegas, but I haven't checked in awhile. He was also in LA awhile, so he might be back there. Believe it or not, that's his real name, but he assumes the identity of a guy in New York with the same name, in order to feign legitimacy.
You might want to report this to local police. Since you have his name (and possibly his location), and he's not foreign-based, you might get them interested in investigating.
is this his real name and number? Ill gladly do some work for you
He refunded me this money. No call, text, explanation or anything. But the money was refunded to my cashapp today.
That's shocking.Quote:

Oh, and I believe that number is some kind of burner.
Glad to hear u got your moneyz back
It seems to be his every day phone. I just think the guy has no end game. I just happened to cause him more than $500 in inconvenience after the scam I guess. It was his mothers cashapp account, who I found and called. I signed him up for a bunch of spam texts 24 hours a day including anonymous "get tested" anti STD texts. If I woke up in the middle of the night I would mess with him. I just didn't go away. I sent probably 40 requests for payment to his cashapp a day. Maybe they just misclicked one for all I know but all the sudden there it was.
