This is a first i believe. A scam like that that you wouldnt expect it can happen. He got fooled already. You go for a coaching lesson without meeting the coach? I dont know how that works, but i believe there must be some more personal contact, like skype for example.

I think that this sort of thing is despicable and i hate fraud of any kind. This guy sent money in good faith and doesn't deserve to be ripped off in such a fashion. I hope they catch the guy responsible

Absolutely and utterly disgusting. It is an act of evil and an act of cowardice. Being anonymous or partially anonymous online can bring out the the ugly side of human behavior. It is sad but that's the reality.

I do not understand why he did not take lessons from other places that have such a thing. At least he could have been interested before paying this money to a crook. If you do not look well and you're naive there is a chance to lose money just like in the present case. I hope the scammer gets into jail.
haha those scammers always seem to amaze me, all the effort they do, all the honor and trust they brake, I always wonder, if they do all this effort, then why they don't just try to start a normal white business. not some stupid scam or something. this is just sad, feel sorry for the guy who got ripped off, but still maybe he should be more careful, this poker tutorial thing is something i would never do, but that is something personal i guess.

depends on which device this chat dialog took place. If there is a chance that the crook will be caught is the best. I hate this online thiefs. Instead of finding ways to make legal money, they are cheating the peoples. I hope this donkey to regret a lot in jail if caught by the police.
