    This is very sad. What would make someone try to con another in this manner? I'm all for helping anyone in need, but this smells, looks and appear to be fishy as all get out.

    Where is HIS family members? If none of them will help him then that speaks volumes. Thanks for the heads up.

    Online scams are everywhere in different guises. It is a sad reality that these people are still able to lure some gullible people into such extortion scheme.

    Gamble Stop,

    The name of this person is what caught my eye! Chas has been a member of a forum that I moderate for a while now and I do not beleive that he has ever approached our admin with anything along those lines. If he did, he would have been banned in a heartbeat.

    There really is nothing for me to say other than it makes me sad that he would go to extremes by sending you that email. He has never posted anything about being financially strapped. You know how some memebers can "write" between the lines. Very strange, I have to say!

    Thanks for the heads up and I will watch for him at the GIA.

    Could you pm me the registration email he used so I may search for that?

    PM Sent to both of you...

    I can post headers and everything of the email if need be. I just didn't want to post his e-mail for privacy reasons. But if allowed i will.

    Smile Hi

    It is strange, I have received other scam emails not from Chas, but nothing to my website email address before. Maybe you could ask Chas what sort of trouble he is in and why he is asking for money from people...

    The first e-mail i got from him was regarding being a moderator, Then that e-mail above.

    Holland87 is my mod and I don't think she will be posting his registration email we talked and we feel would be a violation of trust between my forum members and us.

    Yes of course, I totally understand.

    I do have his e-mail address, but was asking GPWA if it was ok to post this since he sent me this e-mail. I don't think that would be a privacy issue for me because he e-mailed directly with what looks like a scam.

    If this turns out to be genuine, Then he shouldn't be asking people for money. Like Gamtrak has already said, He should contact family.

    Damn CJ,

    Could you ask for a little over 30 instead? Then you could slide me the difference and I could treat Belgamo to the Hard Rock at Tampa....

    I accidentally mentioned it to him recently in a pm or email or something and he drove over and might have lost a few bucks.....so I feel obligated....

    I mean it's not like he followed my affiliate link or anything.....LOL

    C'mon, That stuff sreams scam from a mile away. The nerve of that guy. As a general rule: whenever someone asks you for money: it's a scam. Don't fall for any if this crap.

    thanks for the heads up Gamble Stop
    this is very interesting, I think I have a member on my forum who is related to that person or it might be himself,
    please could you PM the e-mail addy too so I can run it to check.
    Maybe you also have an IP addy?

    Many thanks in advance
