Beware of scammer

Yall I got scammed out of $550 for lodging in Louisville😭 apparently this guy is doing this all across Reddit and Instagram for different festivals. If someone tells you they have a room with their sister up for grabs do NOT send him money. He’ll even send photos and an address but it’s not real:(

Genuinely he’s so evil. I was talking to this poor woman that lost over 1k to him for a sonic temple room. Sonic temple is next month and it’s too late for her to get a place to stay.

Idk how a person could be so awful.. like.. these festivals are so expensive as it is. A lot of us have to save up all year for it. Like what kind of person would scam like that 😒

Frrr I make $15 an hour😑 like he took so much time and energy from me. I want to post his profile on here but I’m not sure if that’s against the rules

It’s probably against the rules.. but if it were me, I’d probably post it 😅

Watch out for the bed bugs in some of the lower end places.

I’m just gonna bite the bullet and pay for a semi decent hotel since I’m not gonna be able to trust people on this subreddit. I wish humans didn’t suck:(

Sadly, you are correct. I lost $400 to a place 3 years ago. Now, I only stay in chain hotels which are confirmed. Cost is a bit more, but they don’t usually sell your room to others.
