A GUY TRIED TO SCAM ME FOR 2500 BUT PAID ME BACK 4000. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

[cmoney]

I wont go into all the details now but some dude tried to roll me for 2500 on PayPal. After no return emails and calls, last night I grabbed a bottle of Jack and spent 3 hours gathering data on the guy. I then sent it to him. In short, he shit his pants and not only sent me the 2500 back, but also the 1500 I requested because i told him " that was the cost of wasting my time."

This guy was a sort of Peter DC type but way more computer savvy. It is obvious he is a lifetime scammer and probably has made millions scamming.

So do i just walk away and be happy with the 1500 bonus which he obviously sent me to shut the fuck up or do I go crazy on this ass so that he doesnt do this to other people? Most scammers are sociopaths so they worry about two things 1. Their real name being exposed as that hurts their scamming career and 2. Going to Jail. They are all about self preservation.

I dont want anyone else to get scammed, but the same time, I already wasted a bunch of time on this fuck, and feel pretty good that I scared the shit out of him so bad i got an extra 1500 out of it.

Don't forget, do first half of the bottle AND the full bottle of Jack.

First of all, start a thread in the "Scam, Scandals & Shadiness" forum with all the info you got on the guy.
Fuck him.
Next, go on PFA radio & tell the whole story & out the guy to a larger audience.
Fuck him.

Agreed about the thread in SS&S, But he should keep his voice off PFA. As much as PFA fans would enjoy hearing directly from Cmoney on this matter, my impression is that he should protect even the identity of his voice given the stature of his ballerness.

OBV drop the hammer on his ass just because you can.

[NaturalBornHustler]

If you are in a position to ruin this POS life I would strongly encourage you to do so. Someone tries to steal from me I am dropping the fucking hammer if at all possible.

Hard to say without knowing how guy would react and if you have anything to lose yourself.

At very least and out of selfish interest I would like to hear what happened even if names are not used.

If his intent was to scam you, why was he dumb enough to use his real name?

He didnt. He used an alias but his alias was a combo of a first and last name of business partners he had in the past making it obvious that the third person in that group of partners was the scammer leading me to his real name. He once made the mistake of sending someone else he scammed his Canadian bank account information for a wire. So a simple Google search on the Canadian business registry lead me to the three partners of the company which then showed how he came up with the retarded alias. From that, I got his real name and found he was a partner in a restaurant, contacted the restaurant, which lead to the pant shitting and the 1500 bonus "for my time"

None of us want other people to get scammed but the thing is even if he shuts down whatever this scam is the guy will create a new one because that is the kind of person he is.

It's good he paid you back quick but keep an eye out because he might try to roll you on the $1500 extra with some chargeback.

What kind of audience do you have for exposing him? Is there a place you could blow up his spot where his intended audience/marks would see it? Like, if he were a poker player, you'd out him at 4 and here. Do you have an equivalent place to out him where it would really poison his future waters, or would you be doing a stand-alone website thing, where you have to hope people look him up before they get fucked?

Put $1500 on your 2016 tax return as Miscellaneous Income--Loan Sharking.

Update your resume for that transaction also.

Sleep without worry.

Are you comfortable reporting him to law enforcement?
