Recently a new guy came into my live stream and while we didn't talk much I decided to follow him and went into his live stream the next day. After a short few days of chatting we exchange numbers to which the first thing he mentions is how he's trying to sell a PS5 and iPhone12 on FB MarketPlace but it keeps taking down his ads. I told him that maybe FB feels he's running some type of scam, to which he agreed but then I think that comment got to his head (you'll find out why eventually).
So I proceed to ask him about the PS5 because I was very interested in purchasing one myself as they haven't been easy to come by due to the pandemic. He claimed to be selling them because he has $900 to pay in taxes. I told him maybe he could return it to Amazon (since he said he purchased it there) but he claimed the money wouldn't get back to him for another 30 days if he did. He told me he would sell it to me for $500 and claimed how shipping would oddly be $100 (not sure if he was paying that but as an online seller myself I don't think it'd cost that much to ship). Let's not forget that no one is filing their taxes for almost another 2 weeks and that taxes aren't due until late April.
I proceed to tell him that I'd purchase the item through a PayPal payment to which he claimed he no longer had PayPal due to an overdraw in the past and that I'd have to use CashApp or a Moneygram (and I'm not even sure how you overdraw on PayPal in the first place). I explain to him that PayPal is the only online payment I trust and that it's unfortunate he doesn't have it because I did really want the PS5. He then turns crazy and starts saying how I'm treating him like some type of scammer, which I never called him a scammer but only suggested that FB possibly thinks he's one. He proceeds to insult me in various ways and I block him.
A short while later and he's messaging my phone under another phone number. This time he tells me how he was able to set up a new PayPal account so that I could now send him payment. I'm like, I don't appreciate how you talked to me so, no thank you, I'm not interested. He gets upset all over again and I ignore him. A little while later he messages me again but this time telling me that he now really needs the money whereas before he claimed to not really need the money after all. He tells me to come to his stream and see how his car has just broken down on him. So I go into his stream and all I see is him streaming in his car and just sitting there parked and chatting with everyone so, I'm not sure how that comes off as his car is broken down. So I eventually just block him again.
So I noticed he had also sent me a friend request on Instagram and that's when I saw that the name he told me, in the beginning, wasn't even his real name, plus it also had his last name. I decided to do a Google search on him and like my last boyfriend I mentioned on here, I was not disappointed in what I found. It turns out this guy had been arrested for "suspicion of trafficking stolen property." In lamest terms, he basically tried to sell stolen goods and act like he didn't know. That said, it makes sense why FB may possibly flag any high-value item he may be selling and why he got so offended by the scammer remark.
Two days later and he's messaging me again under a third different phone number but this time he tries working more of a sympathy angle, all while still being a rude prick of course. This time he tries to tell me how his grandfather is on Hospice and he wants to go see him but he needs money to do so. Again, he tries to sell me this PS5. To make this short, sweet, and hopefully get rid of him for good I simply tell him that I no longer have the money, to which all he has to say to that is "K".
I really hope I don't hear from this guy again because it's not going to be pleasant for him a 4th time around. That said, stay safe out there everyone because even if they look like Jeremy Renner, if they rather have your money than your heart, they aren't worth your time. Also, don't let anyone disrespect you, I'm so sick of guys who try to bring people down to their low level and make you feel crazy. You know, the type of guy you can have a whole a** conversation with and he just turns around and acts as if he never said any of that even when you have the convo receipts. Like, why lie like that, makes no sense unless they think they're somehow going to make you out to be the bad guy as he sends text screenshots to his buddies later. That's fine if he does but just remember, I have receipts too.
