at the start there is a response that says ';I'm going to give this
there is a lad called adi at the start who suggests they all chip in- gotta be the guys second username- edit apparently tis guy is geniune
it's 100% a scam, just not a very good one- the guy keeps logging back in to say he will explain all later... hes done that like three times- he's either daft or taking the piss

its like a shit version of that sausage roll bus fair story on here years ago

Nowhere near as good as Trevirs bus fare thread. Class that was.
 
You could do that anywhere. Why log in to a football messageboard to do it? It’s meant to be there to talk about football. Not complain you can’t do ya weekly shop.

‘I’ve lost my wallet, what shall I do?.....I know, I’ll log in to Pure Football and tell all the lads on there’.

I guess because there’s a certain amount of “togetherness” amongst football fans. They’re more likely to be inclined to help “one of their own” as opposed to logging on to a plumbers forum and expecting fellow plumbers to dig deep, for example.
 
Looks like a few have been took in.
Glad it wouldn't happen on here. Oh by the way did you ever get to see the photos that lad took. You know the one you all chipped in to send on the tour of the friendlies in America
:-O:D;)
Where I live I only know 1 Mboro fan so no axe to grind with you lot. It maybe a football website but a con artist is a con artist...some of the replies are obviously decent people trying to help someone in need. We would do the same on here.
 
What sort of mug would fall for that?! There's only one of them who has it figured out straight away and he gets abused to fuck even when it's obvious it's a con.

Lad did well though, £200 for a 5 minute post on a message board. I might change careers
 
Surely the person can be traced through the site owners from ip addresses and so on?

@Roger. Is that smb policy if someone tried this on here?
 
The f***ing meth! Begging for money off strangers, typical smog, no shame.

No doubt spent it on parmos, teenage hookers and smack.
 
I just hope the lad bought a nice bit of steak for his dag or maybe a bottle of "no more tears" for shower time.
Interesting fact - no more tears isn't actually the water that comes out your eyes but actually tear as in tearing a piece of paper. So it's saying your hair will no longer get torn. Yes my mind was blown when I first heard that too.
 
Reading that thread (the format made awful viewing), I was reminded that Boro fans are no different to most people in the North East, humble, well meaning, down to Earth and charitable.

It is sad to see that their kindness has been abused like that. It seems highly likely he made the whole thing up. Not sure what their mods are doing mind, if that had happened on here the thread would have been locked down, he would have been banned and the police would probably be involved by now.

I wouldn’t do the same..

I do feel sorry for those that have been scammed hopefully PayPal can get of the money back for them..

Given that he was successful at getting the money, kind of proves why someone would log on and do it......
