Invested money with guy that was supposed to pay me back on 3/21/09?

I met this guy at a casino playing a roulette machine and he was playing for fun and i told him a way i usually win money. i kept coming and leaving and asking him how he was doing, he was doing good.

i said i was gonna leave but i came back again to play,



i talked to him for a while hes 25 and his parents won the lotto in canada and bought a second home in south florida. he told me that they met people thru the lotto that deal with investments and that they have been doing it for the past year and he said that he wouldnt mind helping me out a bit. i met him at his house the next day with 500 dollers. i saw his id his last name is pincivero and i googled it and his parents names came up along with their story. i checked the homes adress and it was on record that the same people that won the lotto and his name were the owners. so he writes me a note saying '; i pincivero borrowed 500 from rinnie g and will pay back on 3/21/09 with interest'; so this was in 3/2/09 when 3/21 came he said they just deposited the money in their canadian account and had to wait a day. then on 23rd he said its being transfered it going to be a day. on 25th he said it arrived at his american account and its on freeze since its such a lump sum and is going to take a couple of days.

no im pretty sure i was scamed but why would someone give me so much information on their phone number full name and home address? do u think i might actually have a chance of getting my money? is their anything i can legally do?

thanx hope it made for interesting reading , i know a lot of people love to hear about others misfortunes lolInvested money with guy that was supposed to pay me back on 3/21/09?
Well that was pretty expensive tuition. Hope you learned your lesson. He gave you all that information because he has learned that it works, to get people to part with their money. As the old saying goes, ';a fool and his money are soon parted.';Invested money with guy that was supposed to pay me back on 3/21/09?
Of course he gave you a legitimate address. Even con artists need a place to live - or pretend to live. And any teenager can get a fake id and pretend to be related to a real person. It's called identity theft - the Pincivero lottery winners probably have no clue this is going on.



If he really was rich and really wanted to help you invest money, he could have simply introduced you directly to his investment manager, instead of ';borrowing'; the money from you. It's simply too messy for him to invest the money for you - it would have been much easier to simply create an account for you and give you advice on how to invest it. When you met in the casino, you gave him advice on how to win - you didn't take his money, walk away, and promise to return with his winnings.



First, call the police and tell them the whole story. Tell them you would like to help them catch this con artist.

You can call the guy and tell him you're really excited that this investment worked out, but you'd like some reassurance that you will have the money soon. Suggest he meet you in a few days to show you the money is in his account, and hint that you're ready to invest even more since this worked out so well.

When you meet, the cops swoop in and grab him. He goes to jail, and you can sue him under his real identity to get your $500 back.



good luck. and from now on, keep YOUR money under YOUR control.
