Mods, please lock this parody. Clearly nobody is that dumb to think that this was a legitimate loan.

exactly, look at the dates on the threads. it's still the same day.

What makes you think you will get your money back from PP? What would be the grounds for your claim? PP does not guarantee "loans".

Hrm, OP.... I have recently come into a large sum of money and need help transferring it out of my Swiss Bank account. The fee for the transfer is a small $10,000 but i do not have the moneys to initiate my transfer of millions to my account here in the states. If you would be willing to help me with all or part of this fee, i think we could arrange a mutually beneficial transfer. Please paypal me $28 first so I can purchase a calling card to alert my contacts in Switzerland that I will soon have the $10,000 I need to free up my millions of dollars.

Thank you,
John Smith

omg, ill send you $28 and you give me 34 back kthx!

Take a huge stinky dump in his heat ware. That'll learn em. And as for your money, chalk it up to having learned a 28 dollar lesson in getting scammed.

And yes I know I am dumb for doing it in the first place, but it's not much money, although I could really use it back. Help a brotha out please if you can.:D

Here are some PMs we exchanged...

top222: OKAY ILL DO IT!! LOL JUS KIDDIN. How come Ppl give me such a hard time with this? im Gettin a $600 check in like a week.
jndietz:Because no one trusts you man... you come on to the forum expecting people to just give you money. You have no credibility on ATOT (low post count).

But, I am sure there is some person out there willing to just spring and give you money.
top222:yea i know my bestfriend does more stuff on at then me. I put his heat in the first box. I had a guy loan me the money but it was a Echeck and thos take a while. But thanks anyways

Not relevant to your problem, but well, you are stupid for helping this guy out. I knew some sap would give in and just LOVE to give him the money he wanted. If worse comes to worse... get his address and his name, and go to his house, and beat his ass. Do you think I'm kidding? Nothing like "knocking" some sense into people with a baseball bat.

Otherwise... call the police. Or wait for PayPal to come through.

Sorry man, but you dug your own grave.

I'd recommend something a little dirty but you made a silly mistake, maybe losing this money would be a good lession.
