If he were trolling, this might be the case.
As it is, he’s not. He’s scamming. Or at least trying to. His story changes with the winds, and he hops from forum to forum slightly revising the strategy each time. He actually got a little distance at another site, until it’s members (who have helped him out) started exchanging notes and realizing they’d been had.
I admit I found it a little pathetic to be begging for a handout, but in a small way sympathized with him for a while. It wasn’t until stories about his taking charity and denying it started surfacing that I lost any sympathy I had for him. That and the multitudes of people offering their advice to him, which he’s apparently not interested in hearing, irked me a little.
I feel like a schmuck for even having posted in this thread, I’ll say that much. I’ve also found, in my short time in this community, that most of it’s participants tend to have smaller wallets and bigger hearts. Just don’t want anyone to get taken advantage of, that’s all.
Frankly, I’m about ready to just send him a nice yoyo, with delivery confirmation so I know he got it, and see if this spamming continues. If he’s legit in any respect at all, this nonsense will cease here and everywhere else he’s currently doing it at.
How about it, Satrio? Would a new Lyn Fury do it for ya? I’ll even toss in a KK bearing. Shipping will be on me, bro. The thing is that you have to stop the nonsense, enjoy the hobby, and become a valuable member and poster. Think you can handle that? If you’re interested, just post in this thread. No PMs, please.
