Hi everyone, not normally one to do this and shame anyone but this is really scummy and I just have to say something about it. I Was invited to a ‘content’ house organised by @realzjakethomas and I agreed to go. I paid him for the house as agreed but then it started to become increasingly clear that this ‘content’ house wouldn’t be happening as plans kept changing/creators pulling out etc. Now up to this point everything is fine and I’m not bothered, obviously these things can be hard to organise and I’m understanding of that as I’ve been there. The issues arise when I start to ask for my money back to which he initially replied that he would if no one else had sent their money by the end of the day. The next day I check my phone and he’s blocked me on X and WhatsApp and removed everyone from the group. essentially this nasty little boy has stolen/scammed me. I had no reason at all to believe that he would pull this on me, I’ve heard of him as a creator and some notable other names were also looking to go. Fortunately for me I’m in a position now where the money I sent him hasn’t had a financial impact on me. However, what if this was a smaller creator? If this happened to me a 1.5-2 years ago when I myself was a smaller creator it would have had an effect on me. For smaller creators it could honestly mean the difference between being able to pay their rent and not. It just enrages me how some people just think this is okay, honestly so baffled. In some ways I’m glad it happened to me and not one of the smaller guys but still does not make this okay. 😡 Plus he isn’t even sorry!! He messaged me after his bank blocked all his transactions because of his fraudulent activity begging for me to remove the report against him 😂 obvs not doing that. Anyway posted a screenshot of what he had to say about that below. Enjoy ! Sorry to name and shame (NOT) P.s reported it to my bank and the police fraud dept. Rant over - Harv ✌️
