Papa George - Is this you?
I saw you mention to someone on here to hook up with you on Facebook and you said your name was GBJ. Are you this guy?

Beware of this guy - Please read. He is starting other sites
GBJ Selling HotSportsPlays.com & SportsPicksandNews.com

When a Flippa buyer contacts me looking for help recovering his funds from a potential scammer I never know what to expect. Some times it is just the buyer being anxious, sometimes it is a misunderstanding, and some times the buyer has indeed been scammed.
That is the case here.
I was contacted to look into a case regarding this Flippa auction. The buyer claimed that the seller had essentially taken his $4200 payment and not delivered the website promised. After some basic investigation into the matter I found the buyers claims to be true. I verified the payment had been made and even talked with the seller who had STILL been trying to sell hotsportsplays.com to yet another buyer.
The seller eventually admitted the issue and even revealed that there had been another victim. Although the seller, GBJ., didnt take personal responsibility for the scam, he did knowingly (and unknowingly) reveal a bunch of useful information. And, again, he did admit to taking payment from these victims without delivering the site or refunding their money.
I talked to GBJ about coming clean on the scam and refunding those who had been burned. In working with the victims I was sure they would be willing to work out payment arrangements to recover their lost funds, but GBJ seemed to have no interest in returning the money, only in protecting himself.
GBJ still has not returned any of the funds to the victims and he eventually did resell (the already 2x sold-and-paid-for)
www.hotsportsplays.com to this guy. The sale was made on June 14th for $690 GBJ was nice enough to post a screenshot himself which was found in his latest Flippa listing.
HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE PAYMENT FOR THE SITE ($690) ON JUNE 14:

HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE TWO PREVIOUS PAYMENTS FOR THE SITE ($4200, $1800):

These were collected from GBJ own listing on Flippa. But, in case he makes changes they have been archived online.
An IC3 complaint (I#1006111710133181?) has been filled on GBJ and over 40 pages of documentation has been obtained in the case. I do hope GBJ (and Friend) will come clean and make restitution on the victims of this scam. If they wish to contact me I will help them get on the right track making restitution and heading in a direction away from online scams and into online success.
I can assure you, this is not me. This is the 2nd time I have been accused of a scam in one day on this forum. Very nice
I dont recall saying i sold a site on flippa, i recall saying I could sell it there...but now that I see this site, wow...this is actually interesting, funny thing is...I talk to the guy who bought my hotsportsplays site everyday...interesting.
I scammed no one Blitty. I talk to the guy who purchased my HSP site everyday through email. And I dont see any evidence this is him posting this stuff about me.
Did someone post all this on SBR?
I owned Hotsportsplays yes and i sold the site and transferred the domain to the owner, it is now called hotsportscappers.com
What is all this pappysports and sports picks and news stuff? That is my question.
Ugh please either this is competition or someone playing a joke or I dont know what, either or I could care less honestly.
I would normally be pissed off at this kind of stuff, but whats the point? Get all hyped over some guy posting on SBR? Where is that gonna go besides to private zone?
This scamsite appears it gets no traffic, at least not much at all..so who cares IMO
LOL where did this picture come from!? LOL
And the face..? How the hell? Wow cant trust anyone online
yes but im very camera shy how would anyone get me doing that face? Unless it was stolen from youtube in a video that i had up a few years ago...idk
This is unbelieveable
And for GL to keep this on here just enables them and makes it worse.
Honestly, If this was me, I would just leave this forum and never even respond to this.
Another thing is if this was real...why arent they spamming the shit outta my website i have now? With these type of comments, I dont have a block on my comments, but I will soon..
Or emailing my monitor? Or posting on my monitors forum? Or me not in jail? idk this is crazy wow
I will be, im working on it now as we speak.
The only thing I can say about the transactions is that it had to come from a "potential" buyer when the site was for sale. I sent the proof of income to about 9 different people. And of those people I had 3 ready to buy and it came down to money and I went with someone completely towards the other direction, not online, but a person I know face to face.
Yeh one reason why I sold it, the name did suck. But it still made great income for what was made of it, surprisingly. I expected it to crash and burn after 4 months of work, kinda how I expect my site now to end, but surprisingly, still running.
Maybe some of those old clients came to my new site after the domain was changed? And this is why all this is going on? IDK like I said I am emailing the buyer now and calling him tomorrow.
Again this is all off of an old site I no longer run or own, I never had those "rules" for a month package, as you can see my new site only has 1 and 7 day pass'
Also why are all of these sites alike? Then this sportspicksandnews one is int he complete different direction? Looks like somebody created it with notepad and basic html code
I explained how possibly they got the screenshots
Im not going on SBR and talking about this, I will deal with this on my own.
I sold the site back in...Mayish? Which is odd cause they are saying there are transactions from June, right? Photoshopped, lovely
To delete the thread and allow me to handle this on my own.
And for him to be coming over here and causing drama on this forum, is ridiculous, and this will force me to never post here again.
Dude, the avatar, please change it
I answered, I went back and answered them, I over looked the questions, sorry
Someone isnt happy, but I will say this if this is the owner of HSP
I will NOT give a refund, after he two faced me everyday just to do this shit and get some free money back.

Fuck this asshole, I know for a FACT it isnt the buyer for a FACT it isnt him. He wouldnt do this no way no how.
Fuck this thread and fuck this scammy website, for all I know its one of you guys fucking with me.
Im done with this shit. Back to real life now.
I will say this if it is someone on here doing this, which is kinda hard to believe, just wow and pathetic
That is the way I sold it, had a buddy set it all up on there for me. That is the link with the purchase price and the date, May9th to be exact, took 3 days to sell to be exact
I understand but this has to be an exception, for identity purposes, you may of deleted the names but it still links all back to this scammy website with ym idenity
Another thing for you that has me on facebook, I m going to go ahead and delete you guys, only because of this non sense, and until it gets fixed, I will add you all back if you still want.
I need to really look after myself from here on out now..sorry
The sale went through and I havent gone back to flippa since, I am seeing he did post i scammed him, this is the first time I am seeing this...wow
Im looking into all this now.
So from what your saying he tried to re sell it? Sold it, kept the site and the money?
I never said I was selling it because it was gonna crash and burn, I said 4 months into the project I expected it to crash and burn and it didnt
