Some weirdo on Facebook is trying to "sell" a massive amount of MLife credits for super cheap

[PositiveVariance]

Interesting scam. I bet he gets a handful of people that may fall for it.

There is one big problem. The guy will never meet in person in Vegas since who ever meets him will want to verify the points at the casino before they pay him the cash. Even at a casino, outside of Vegas, he will run into the same problem. He would have to convince someone to send him Cash first. This will be difficult I believe. Even if he does get sent cash, he likely won’t even send them anything since there are no points on the card. Now, if he has an extra card, say one that he found on the ground - yes, he can send that to the buyer. When the buyer gets it and notifies him that the card is not valid - he can start with the excuses. But overall, I bet he doesn’t send a card and just cuts them off.

Since it’s a scam, he has to make a decision to carry on with his Facebook page or start from scratch. Who ever pays him (maybe multiple folks) would possibly go back to his Facebook page under a different name and inquire about his other “stolen” items that he is selling. He thinks he is speaking to someone really interested. You meet him in person and bust his Ass.

One thing that will likley give us our answer about these points, is by watching the status of his Facebook page in the next month or so. If it disappears, excellent chance he screwed at least one person and is hidding.


What you can do is ask for his password to login to see the points. If he really had the points and is hurting for cash he would most likely let you do it. There isn’t to much you can do with his account that can not be reversed.

Looks like an outright scam. He is selling access to the account online, which will give away right away that he doesn't have the points he claims. I think he just takes the money and vanishes.

I sent the dude a message and told him I want to see him log in either through Teamviewer or Facetime. Of course he refused and said he'd give me temporary access to log in and see for myself -- if I sent him a deposit first!

LOL!

I told him I would give the deposit to a mutually trusted friend (there probably isn't anyone we mutually trust though), and of course he refused and said it's "too much trouble".

LOL again

I knew it felt like a scam. Thanks for the update,Dan. Did you report this Scammer to Facebook? Maybe you can prevent this guy from stealing other future Victim's money.

Post the facebook link.

I may be willing to risk $750 to definitively expose this scam, and save others from being victims.

The points/comps proves its a scam. As I said, It's impossible to have $39,000+ in comps at Gold. You can only have $5000 MAXIMUM.

[accountinquestion]

There was never one moment while reading this thread that I entertained the notion that it wasn't a scam.

[Dan Druff]

The guy apparently wasn't getting buyers (I guess the "six offers for $750" weren't real), and he kept asking over the last several days if I had changed my mind. Even lowered the price to $300!

I continued to insist that I needed to see him logging into the account via Facetime, and he kept ignoring that and pushing how trustworthy he was. He was avoiding the Facetime question, and kept repeating, "Dude I sent you my Linkedin, and also sent you my MLife account statement!"

I kept repeating that a Linkedin is meaningless, and the "statement" he sent me could easily be fake. He wouldn't address the Facetime request until I kept pushing, at which point he said that he "doesn't Facetime with strangers from the internet". LOL!!

Then I asked him why I should send $300 to a stranger on the internet, if he can't trust strangers enough to do a harmless Facetime. Of course he didn't answer and just started ranting about his linkedin again.

Then he kept insisting he's so rich and "the money doesn't matter", and I asked why I have to send it before verifying if it doesn't matter. He said that he "doesn't give charity to anyone". LOL again.

Obviously the guy was looking for any way to make this scam sale and felt I was the only sucker potentially on the hook for it. I'm surprised he didn't find anyone to actually fall for it. I think his post was deleted by the moderators (I can't find it anymore), so that's possibly why.

Anyway when I told him I knew it was a scam, he called me an "unhappy person" and a "loser" and blocked me.

[jbjb]

Of course the MGM screenshot statement is fake and I pointed out why.

Any gold member showing more than $5000 in comps is a fucking liar!

[Dan Druff]

Yup, you're correct. Obviously the guy used the "inspect element" trick on Google Chrome to modify the displaying page.

Just an outright scam.

As you can see here, I'm currently maxed out on comps at $5000.00. And mine is completely legit!

I was under the impression that he'd do something far more devious. Take the $750 and then fradualently report Buyer as a Thief of his points. Casino credits his points back to him, he gets to keep the $750, he blocks the Buyer, Buyer is now out the $750, out the points he paid for, and now facing criminal consequences.

I don't have a new Sock Puppet Account at WOV. My last WOV Account was River Jordan, a Sock that was quickly found out and busted and that was in March 2022. I am not vigarceau who joined today or yesterday and said something like,"Hi, I'm new here. Can't wait to chat about Casinos!"

I'm not vigarceau. If I were, vigarceau would have already been banned. I have had Socks that lasted like 5 minutes before getting busted and banned. vigarceau would have been banned by now if I were him or her.

I hate to break it to you Tusha, you have now been dethroned as the top sock/dupe leader. We have a new sock/dupe champ in town, whose gradually been leaving you in the dust the last few years. It's never too late to reclaim your title. Although it's a long shot with this dupe genius at work.

He didn't have any points. Just a straight up scammer.
