Scammers still exist in 2020

The year isn't 2010, it is 2020 and still scammers are alive. From the recent high profile scams to our low profile scams, they are active everywhere. While some scams look direct, there are many scams which would include more beating around the bush, like the one I recently have become a victim of. We have a very active user on most of the gambling sites including stake. I came in touch with him, and it all looked perfectly normal until one day he asked me if i could spare some. As an unknown person that I was, I trusted him once. Gave 10% of my balance (at that time) which wasn't quite enough for him i guess because he asked for more and i ended up giving him 10% again in chunks of 5%. The reason why I am talking in percentage is to give you an idea of what I had given to him from my perspective. 

I was promised to be paid with in 24 hours which obviously didn't happen.

So I waited and on 12th of July, I was given a lame excuse that the card would be credited with money by 17th of july. Okay, I waited again. On 17th I was told, I will be paid but you might have guessed by now. 

Instead of directly "am not paying" it is more like indirect "beating around the bush" way which many many people fall prey to. 

This post is an eye opener not only for me but for everyone in here or elsewhere. 

I am not the only one who Professerx has scammed, there are many people like me too. His alts include ProfesserD and Professer on stake. Attaching a screenshot of my chat with him. I dont remember the date. Its an old one though.

Concluding the post with a couple of points, firstly, avoid loaning to people even if you know them. Secondly, don't lend BIG chunk of your balance. 

All the best!

Scammers will always be where there is money and gullible people. Please do not fall for their tricks, inform support and moderators if someone offers you extra profits, asks for loans, etc.

Wasn't really aware that people could still scam on Stake since PM/friend requests was removed before i started playing regularly on here. Thank you for showing me with this post Ryan :)

Scammers will always exist, scams will change form throughout the history but they will be ever present. It is like asking for oxygen to suddenly disappear.

I m sorry u got scammed. We trust others easily coz thats only human. I also had an experience where i helped some one and he didnt return money for a while. But thankfully he did after a long time. I have learned my lesson since. Its better not to trust anyone
