busyman Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Had redsoccer to contact me. Though he claims in his ad "I just want to let you know that I am serious about being a houseboy". Appears he has pulled this game with several others on this sight. Spent several days talking via telephone. Claimed he was going to give notice to his employer to move and relocate into North Carolina. Claimed he needed to be sure I was as serious about having him as my houseboy as he was serious as having me as his employer. On the Day he stated he would call with date of arrival, no call. This is just a small fraction of what I have been exposed to. Spoke with another member here who had same encounter with redsoccer. Guys claiming they want to be a houseboy, claiming to want to relocate, claiming to call and or not returning calls. I wish there was a public chat room available so we could share our encounter with others as a precautionary measure. Check back as I plan to keep others up to date with future game players.

Guest pipatatl Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Again and as I've responded to some of your other posts... what you write about him doesn't mean he's a game player. It just means he wasn't interested in you after all and he probably found a better position elsewhere. You keep saying in these that you "did your research" as if you have proof that these guys have been scamming on other sites. Hmm okay. So name one site or one other screen name that he's used to scam someone. Him not calling you back is not a scam. It's called "you got stood up". That's not nice to do to a person and shame on him for doing it, but would you quit calling guys scams because they don't want you. Like I said in a response to another one of your forum posts, do you get what I'm saying? Don't you realize that people get stood up all the time: Sometimes people don't show up for interviews. Sometimes people don't show up for dates. Sometimes houseboys don't show up for a position. That's not "a scam". That's part of "life". The sooner you step into reality and realize that, the better you'll be. The rules are simple here... take the time to get to know someone, don't be so blinded by some twink's cute picture, and use the other head to be able to spot someone that really isn't that interested. Of course, the biggest rule: NEVER send anyone money. In the end, I'll say it again: being stood up is not a scam. You didn't lose anything but time, which obviously isn't that bad of a deal because you had the time to post this forum. I'm really starting to think you're the scam... if a guy doesn't come to meet you, you just up and call him a scam. Do you wonder why no one comes to meet you?

I'm really starting to think you're the scam... if a guy doesn't come to meet you, you just up and call him a scam. Do you wonder why no one comes to meet you? I spent 2 hours on the phone with this person in one evening. Additional days and time was spent on the telephone with this person. When he or others claim they are ready and willing to move to be my houseboy then stops calling and or not returning phone calls then yes, I call him out. Rather one calls it a scam, being dishonest, a player, a liar, disception it all means the same. Redsoccer claims to be serious and not like the others when it comes to playing games. Watch out, he's not what he claims to be. Face it guys what serious person actually puts their phone number out on the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stila Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 If a houseboy respondant hasn't the common courtesy to reflect a good upbringing or what is perceived as proper social etiquette by sending a polite '...thanks but no thanks', he IS a scammer; plain and simple. Period. Scammers are more people who are playing a game or bullshitting people, as opposed to the people you have mentioned who just want nothing to do with you, however rude their ignorance may be. Their idea of socially acceptable behaviour and/or responses to a message online really don't reflect their upbringing, per se. In saying so, one cannot really be put at fault for one's upbringing, we don't really have much of a choice in our parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
