California man tricked out of $200K in scam

[slayer14]

A California man says he lost $200,000 of his family’s savings in an alleged scam that’s so bizarre -- it’s hard to imagine that anyone could fall for it. But he did. They wine and dined him lol.

[SportsMushroom]

this guy put his restaurant up for sale on craigslist?


what a dumb cnat, he should feel lucky he was only robed and not stabbed or ass raped

apparently you dont have to be remotely intelligent to own a business or have money, plenty of examples like trump and this guy

[grease lightnin]

Wow. What a fukking idiot.

Surprised he figured out how to breathe.

[jjgold]

Glad he got stiffed

Deserved it

[tony_come]

He's trying to scam us with his story

[shadymcgrady]

Money has no owners, only spenders

[Jay85]

Lol wow
Anytime you have to pay money to get money it's a scam.

[chargers4222]

I don't understand how he lost money. His only asset in this transaction is the restaurant itself, and he is the one who was supposed to get $200,000. So even if the money is fake, don't these dudes currently own the restaurant? They sold the restaurant and disappeared that quickly?

[slayer14]

He is standing outside of the restaurant in the clip shown maybe it a scam to hide money

No he paid to have the chemical treatment done to the white paper to turn it into 100 dollar bills.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

pretty hard to feel sorry for someone so stupid.

[brooks85]

guy makes the perfect liberal, they are terrible with money and have no intelligence.

[jjgold]

I love when scammers get stiffed at sportsbooks too

[7deuceoff$uit]

He's not totally out of his 200k. One of those buyers is Nigerian Prince. All this guy will have to do is deposit a 500k international check and then transfer 300k to the prince's royal family.

And yet, I thought you were a bobbywaves fan.

[BrickJames]

A fool and his money are lucky enough to come together in the first place.

[JohnGalt2341]

I wonder if they only try to scam people with sweet mullets?

[franklee168]

Someone will start a gofund me account, He will get 1 million out of this. Looks like a reverse scam.

[jjgold]

Never ever fund those sites like go fund me there just scams almost everyone, many are just looking for money out of the tragedy of their family

Nigerians still working Craigslist? Gotta love it.

No way he was running or built that restaurant. Most likely inherited from family.

this dumbass thought the "moneywash treatment" to turn the bills back to real hundreds cost $200,000, i guess... what a f'n dumbass!


on a side note, a few years back when I Vegas, JJ Gold offered me a brown paper bags full of white paper in the shape of $20 bills to let him blow me, and promised all i had to do was dunk the $20's in the fountain at belagio to turn them green again.....

I kicked him in the nuts and walked out of the place.....

[grease lightnin]

100% African scam

“Give me money so I can give you money to pay for your goods”

[lom bylyri]

It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money.

[mw00]

No he paid to have the chemical treatment done to the white paper to turn it into 100 dollar bills.

i still dont get how he lost 200k. i can see maybe getting ripped off for 10k trying to get 200k but lose 200k to try to make 200k?

[Wheatgrass]

the restaurant is in southern cal?

probably worth 1 million

he gave them 200,000 for the treatment and they dissapeared

He gave them $200k to “treat” the “money” with chemicals.

They were probably offering a lot more than that for the restaurant. Say a couple mil in bleached Monopoly money .

This makes no sense. There is no way this guy is that stupid. That isn't even like a good premise for a scam.

That’s why we are all saying how stupid the guy is

But that is the basic premise of almost all scams out of Africa: I need you to give me a small amount of money so I can give you a lot

No it's in Dinuba. If you've ever been to Dinuba you would understand why this guy was creaming his jeans to sell his restaurant for scratch paper.

In other Central Valley news they saw Bigfoot there in an avocado orchard the other day. Mikeyanks and Ronzer check in

NBA Golden State

Who deals in cash in the first place?

[grease lightnin]

But that is the basic premise of almost all scams out of Africa: I need you to give me a small amount of money so I can give you a lot

For example:

I will buy your car posted on clist for full price, plus 1300 to ship the car to a foreign country where cars are needed very badly. Nigeria has a major car shortage.

So I am going to send you a cashiers check for full price— plus 1300 for shipping. You cash the check, and send 1300 to my American shippers via w s t r n union and my shippers will come get the car within the week and they will ship it to me.

You cash the check, nobody comes to get the car and the bank catches the check as fraud before it clears. They have made the funds available, and you have already sent the 1300 to the scammer. And you are on the hook for that 1300, not the bank.

Or....


Give me $200k and I will turn this suitcase of printer paper into real money and you can keep it.




Same concept, really.
