A scam is employed by a deviant whose sole purpose is to benefit financially from a mark. The fact of the matter is PWAD did not gain financially from griz's 12k loss. Here is a post griz wrote confirming this:
I didn't give him 12k.
also there is no denying I'm a dumb motherfukker for allowing what happened to happen.
I was scammed, thought we were boys. Good life lesson though - I don't care if my mom asks me to place a 5 dollar wager the answer is no.
You guys can rip me all you want - I deserve it. Was naive to how sick some gamblers really are.
From now on only posting up at sbr books.
Guys if anyone wants to rip me remember this first:
1. I never saw his Altima. Said it was a 2011 model.
2. Guy lived in one of nicest buildings in the city.
3. Guy had meals at my house multiple times. Met my girl. Hung out with my dog. Went to bars together. Everything seemed good.
The fact is, this was a scam that this guy had in motion for a long period of time. Wasn't like it was first meeting.
No griz, it was not a scam. PWAD did not benefit from your losses. You admitted you didn't give him 12k so stop telling yourself you were scammed. Fact of the matter, pwad saw you as a free betting ticket, if his picks won he won, if they lost it didn't matter. I will refer to you as a sucker and not a victim of a scam.
A victim of a scam would give 12k cash. Since you never had more than a couple hundred to your name I highly doubt a 'scam artist' would target you.
I'm curious to know how this situation is working out for you. Update SBR as there are plenty in here who can learn from your experience and resolution skills.
