The same exact thing happened to me today. Sent me a realistic looking screenshot of where he’d supposedly sent me $5000 but said it would be pending until I gave him a $100 eBay card to verify the transaction. Gave me some BS about it being linked to his business card. Idk. Definitely a scam.

Was his name Colin by chance? Because I received the exact same kind of message from someone with that name with the same amount of $ but wanted a 200$ eBay card

I had the same type of message. Wanted to be my sugar daddy promising a weekly allowance of $4000. He sent me a screenshot of the pending paypal payment. He said I have a purchase a $100 gift card to get the money. He also sent me screenshots of messages with one of his sugarbabies who also had doubts about this but got her payment when she purchased the ebay card. He also sent me a video of the girl saying thanks for the payment that she got the payment as soon as she sent the card. Also sent me a screenshot of the amount paid. He started by saying he only needed someone to talk to, because his mom just died and its not easy for him, he said he would not be asking for nudes or videos or anything as such. When I said I didn't trust him he said he understands but he has to do this because some of his sugar babies took the money then blocked him after. He added me on Facebook under the name MICHAEL <removed>. Anyway girls just be careful.

Did he happen to say he was in Greece and needed the $100 eBay gift card because it's a international transaction?

Did anyone have any trouble after wards? I sent the link to my pay pal and then realised after it was a scam, I’m just worried about my bank account being hacked
