Did any RX member get taken by this scam? I'm curious to know any details of these kinds of scams. How do they "suck" people in? What are the signs to avoid?

The one common denominator on about every sports gambling scam that I have seen including the latest is good ole GREED. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

In this case the scammer was working close with the book and would show the mark a $500,000 account and claim they were a syndicate with great plays. The website, put up by the book, showed the book taking 1/2 million dollar wagers so it looked big time. Anyway, they told the mark if he would deposit $18,000 they would add $82,000 to his account. They would then make plays in the account and split the profits 50/50.<o:p></o:p>

After the mark sends in the money of course no extra money is placed in his account and he starts complaining. The scammer tells him he has to add another $10,000. In this case the mark panicked and called the book. The book finishes the scam by telling him he has forfeited his money to the syndicate.<o:p></o:p>

A lot of times marks who have been had go quietly feeling too embarrassed to pursue it and not knowing how to especially when it’s an offshore scam.<o:p></o:p>
