A scammer has returned to the forum

[Radster123]

80smuppetfan is back and under a different username “Francis42”

I fell victim to his scam earlier (before reading that he was trouble in the forum), so if he messages you about a deal then PLEASE decline it and report him

Yeah, I had a good feeling inside my gut it was Andrew Turppa AKA OscarandTellyfan the minute I saw his age, mention of Telly under favorite characters and his mention of “having cool rare stuff in return” for an offer.

I had already reported this to the staff a couple weeks ago. If his account gets terminated or not is another story.

I thought his name was George Wesson, or Derek McIntyre.
Now it's Andrew Turppa???

 

[LittleJerry92]

Not sure where you got those names from, but yes, his real life name is Andrew Turppa.

 

[Radster123]

Its bad enough he had me paying for the rare cool stuff, now he asks to "borrow" money for a........."halloween costume/party" for his daughter

Does he even have a daughter?

 

[LittleJerry92]

He’s childless. I know that for a fact. He’s a child himself in a full grown man’s body.

Yeah, he asked to borrow money from me too. I blocked him then and there. It's sad. I trusted him fir a while. We had some good discussions about Muppets and SS but when people hit on you online to borrow cash, that's inappropriate.

I am SO glad I found this thread. He messaged me offering the entire SS series for $60 and I had hoped it was a different person, but now that I know it's the same guy, I've blocked him and ceased all communication with him. I really dodged a bullet there!

George Wesson is the name he was using on his CashApp account. Someone in the Facebook group Classic Sesame Street Lovers posted a screenshot of a transaction with him.

Not surprised honestly.
