First time scammed.. $255 gone. But, theres hope!

Congrats on getting your money back, Id still post anywhere you can about this guy being a scammer though to help people in the future if he continues to do it avoid being scammed.
 
Hey Supafly,

Saw your post about you getting your money back and was wondering of you might be able to help me in doing the same. I too compiled some info on Brendan Quinn, but apparently not as much as you did. Any chance you would pm me with some of those contact numbers so that I might take the same approach....?
Please let me know any thoughts or suggestions in emailing him that might help me as I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I have been emailing him sporadically for repayment, but naturally he hasn't responded.
I even thought about paying him a face-to-face visit in Chicago, but unfortunately my travel plans fell thru.

Thanks much in advance!

A few weeks ago Brendan finally gave in. I emailed him with names of relatives and employers I was getting ready to place emails and phone calls too. As well as a few more emails about getting the police involved. He gave in.

I approve of this scammer-stalking, and hope he fully pays out; bastards like this need to be taught a lesson.
 
I suggest going ahead and sending all of the details of what happened to his family members and employers. They deserve to know he's a scammer.
 
[quote name='supafly1824']UPDATE: Just got this emai;

Hey man There is no reason to get into all of that. On paypal it says they are'reviewing the case' and they are not letting me send you money. I getpaid on wednesday and therefore i can either write you a check and sendit, or western union you the money. It was a big mistake and i apologize and hope you can understand that I am not screwing with you or trying to take your money. If I was I would ignore you. Just please give me untilwednesday and this will all be taken care of one way or another. Thank you very much.

Brendan

Don't accept that, because if he uses another way to pay you have no proof through paypal. It is a sticky business crawling with scammers.
 
[quote name='Darknuke']So this topics pretty much dead it sounds like... Sad. I hate scammers and LOVE to watch them suffer haha. If it were me, I'd call his brother first, get the parents number, call them and make him out to be a HUGE asshole, call his professor and tell him he's stealing (get him fired hopefully, or at least in trouble with the school), call his employer and do the same if he's working elsewhere, then file a small claims court lawsuit.

Some guy broke into my house through a second story window (there was a roof slanted from the 1st story to the window). He tried to steal my TV. I was mildly buzzed at the time and saw him fly back out the window. I stormed after him (through the window lol), caught him, used every bit of willpower I had to not beat the shit out of him (didn't wanna get sued myself), and got him arrested. He was some kid that was going to go to the University of Washington (not some street scumbag). Afterward, I sued him for burglary (caught him with my ex-gf's phone on him). My Lawyer even gave me the option of giving him a huge community service of my choice sentence or a multi-month jail sentence. I chose jail. He missed his court hearing and now he's got a warrant out for his arrest (now it's multi-year jail lol).

I've done something less exciting to a CAG scammer as well, but I won't mention that one. What i'm getting as is I believe people should pay for the shit they've done. If this guy's scammed a lot of people out of their money, then fuck his world up. I would bury that guy with all the information you had at your disposal. I believe in creating your own form of justice (within legal boundaries of course). I am a firm believer in karma, but I also believe that you sometimes have to serve people their portion of karma. I don't want to be fucked with, so if someone wants to try, then they will be pwned lol ;).[/QUOTE]

I like your worldview

make them male or transsexual (trannies work best, he wont see the trap coming) escorts and we may be going somewhere and i will even forgive you for your idiocy. ;)

anyways a quick google search for [email protected] and he goes to university of Illinois.
I began to see how easy it was for you to obtain the dox on someone, and even this thread appears on google!
Congrats OP! you are now famous!

he is another idiot for even using his damn uni email.

Thats University of Illinois at chicago email address
 
I realize this thread is pretty old.. but thought i'd register n reply anyway..

Brendan Quinn apparently lived in a nearby apt building and was evicted yesterday. All his belogings were left on the sidewalk for people to paw through. Thought I would look him up to see if he had died or something and found all this info about ticket scams.. guess he's most likely just in jail. Karmas a bitch a guess.
 
[quote name='supafly1824']Sorry for pulling a Brendan Quinn and disappearing from the face of the earth >_>

This is the first time in about a month I've signed into CAG. Been busy with work, school stuff, etc.

But I do have good news, finally!

A few weeks ago Brendan finally gave in. I emailed him with names of relatives and employers I was getting ready to place emails and phone calls too. As well as a few more emails about getting the police involved. He gave in.

I had one poster privately contact me. And fugitive, I saw your post. Christ, how many people has he done this too?!

I will pay more attention to this thread and posters who contact me about this, I want to help so hopefully you too can get your money back. But I did.

And plus, with all the info available on this guy that I got in 5 minutes... you guys all have a great shot at getting your money back eventually. Let me know if theres anything I could do to help.

Damn scammers =[[/QUOTE]

i hope this is all done and the dude does not come back and sue the hell out of you... They could now say you sent them email saying your going to email all of these people about ......... Unless you give me 255 bucks.. that can come on you very badly and very quickly ...

Epic.
 
[quote name='yohsh']Could it be possible that he got his identity stolen.

Maybe someone is doing this and just using his information.

Its hard to believe that someone with such a high education and possibly a good job try to scam you out of a lousy 250. If that really is him he is an idiot!

Good luck man. Hope everything turns up okay.[/QUOTE]
I agree.. it is very unlikely that someone with a Phd would try to scam someone for a measly $250. If he actually had a PHd, he probably would make that in less than a day.

Poetic justice and karma all rolled into one. One less douche bag on the planet free to screw other decent people over. Hopefully someone did run into him with a .45 and a shovel and flushed that piece of $hit. :bouncy:

lolllllllllll
 
I'm always leery of buying scalped tickets. You've gotta be proactive, especially at super-mainstream concerts like Metallica and buy tickets the minute they go on sale.

Always always always deal locally only on CL.
 
youre 16 and you know how to look people up on the webz? i thought i was the only one lol, ive done the same thing you did, but for some guy who scammed my mother on airline tickets. it was like 3 years ago when i was 17. but yea man track that sob down!
