I don't want to see people getting hard on themselves over this.

If it is a scam indeed, many of us got duped. What I donated is no major loss to me. I just don't want to see us getting at each other throats over this.

I've e-mailed Sean asking him to come and explain. If he never responds to me or comes back here, then then it's settled.

Here is the website to make an online police report. I don't know if anyone who has donated wants to make one first? If not then I can help out but definately not for a few more hours since I am using my cellphone to make these posts.

I don't think you're to blame in any way, hale_bopp. You acted in good faith.

If it's going to be reported to the police, then I think you would need to have an idea of how much money was involved. I donated $70 on the 6th of August via Paypal.

How about we get a petition going to ask Alex to make it against site rules to ask for money or link to sites asking for money?

It's a shame that genuine charities may lose out, but it's not right that spammers get banned immediately, yet blatant scams like this are allowed continue for weeks just because it's a long-term member.

(poll set up here if anyone wants to comment: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt137032.html)

I'm not the least bit surprised to hear that trollish cretin Ferdinand may have been involved in this.


I'm glad that annoying little Puck was banned.

I'm not sure that Ferdinand was MrLuckyBob. I think it may have been a different member (read through their posts carefully, not just the ones on this thread). However, it doesn't really matter. They weren't the ones who committed the crime.

The string puppet account is indeed involved. It may not be Sean typing directly, but he's behind the scenes, exchanging e-mails and texts with the string puppet. They are laughing their asses off I'm sure.

Sean does not seem to comprehend that he's commited a second-degree theft. This is considered a Class C felony (serious crime). If convicted of a Class C felony, he can be given a maximum sentence of 5 years in jail and/or a $10,000 fine.

These kids have grown up in the age of the Internet. Sock puppet accounts, flame wars, and trolling, are second nature to them. BUT THIS IS DIFFERENT. This is no Internet joke. He stole money, and he revealed his true identity while doing so.

Boggles... :?

Hmm... I opened this thread half an hour ago for the first time and my head now hurts. I don't understand half of what's going on, and would like if someone could sum it up for me.

The information I know so far is that he said he was going to move to his father's place (i think it was) and on his facebook it says.

As LG has said, I literally have no clue what's going on like everybody who is posting on this thread are... I do have a good laugh with him when posts something interesting on facebook and interesting enough, I'm having a conversation with League_Girl about it on IM.

Basically Sean has vanished from WP since B9 confirmed that he should have the funds to arrange his trip now. Sean stated he was in the process of moving, but others have shown(and as i have noticed) that he has visited his networking sites and WP. At least up till the 2nd of September and this recent discussion started before that.
