How it played out:

He regularly advertises it as an $85 league and claims a friend passed away, which is what opened up the spot.

Asked for the $85 entry fee first. As soon as it was paid (PayPal Friends & Family after Goods & Services was blocked/locked), he immediately demanded the next year’s fee “to make sure I wouldn’t leave” because it was supposedly a dynasty league.

I asked for a refund because:

• I was kicked from the league multiple times with no explanation
• Kept being told “it must be a problem on my end”
• The draft was continuously pushed back
• He would ignore messages for days unless I pressured him with calls
• I started looking into the names (especially variations of Jay Ramaz / Jeremiah Ward) and found multiple scam reports, including these:

  • https://www.reddit.com/r/findaleague/comments/1q1egze/funny_charge_9405_is_doing_some_shady_stuff_just/

When I asked for the refund he first claimed the money was locked in a “future vault” and couldn’t be refunded until January 5.

Then he switched to blaming me — saying it’s on me for sending the money knowing the deal, that you can’t pay for a league and then expect a refund whenever you want.

Finally he sent a Bronx address and told me to come get the money myself.

I’ve reported to PayPal, my bank, Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, and police.

If you’ve run into any of these names, the PayPal j2kgaming, that email, the 215 number, or no_initial8139 in a fantasy league context, drop a comment. Helps stop them hitting more people.
