@Null a fun little distraction into the old internet days with some Tommy Tooter updates.
Tom finally figured out that this Kenyan was a scammer and had been scamming him since 2021. This was Tom's number 2 for the longest time when running his fake company and was lovingly referred to as the Nigger in Nairobi. The most work the guy ever did for Tom was create his websites, one that had literally every link on the page bring you to the front page and have no pictures or advertisements. The other website had fabulous items that you could buy for $0, if the website could ever create a purchase order for Tom to fulfill. But for 4 years this guy would be promising some super expensive gravel from Kenya that was definitely on its way but he just needed $50 to grease the wheels of beauracracy or $40 to get customs off his back or $100 for a hospital bill to a hospital that doesn't exist. His real family at AMB had been warning about this guy being a scammer for 3 years and Tom would refuse to listen until about 6 months ago when the nigger in nairobi decided to try and scam someone on AMB. The guy from AMB found out that there were multiple guys in Africa who were scamming Tom through this, using Tom's email to contact other people to scam, and may have even had access to his bank account. While members at AMB had been warning Tom that he was being scammed and told him to go to the authorities to help him, Tom decided a better use of his time was bugging the Tucson Police Department, South Tucson Police Department, and FBI to try and get AMB and the Kiwi Farms shut down over internet butthurt. He has now revealed that through his own actions, Tom has put this scammer in to contact with at least 16 people he knows, including at least one person that he knows of who sent this scammer money.
Tom is incapable of counting to 10 so he has only said that he sent somewhere between 5 to 10 thousand dollars to the Nigger in Nairobi, but based on other comments he has made, it is possible to get a more accurate number of how much money he got scammed out of.
-Tom receives his inheritance money around 2022 which amounted to around 330k (might be fuzzy on that number since Tom moves it around). This money was in different forms of investments that Tom ends up liquidating to fund his lifestyle.
-Tom purchased a beat up Jeep to help him travel around and annoy more civilians in Tucson
-Tom purchased tools and equipment to try and make his gravel look nicer. He has moved places twice since the inheritance and has undoubtedly lost some of those tools and equipment as he downsized
-Tom purchased around 50k of gravel that he cannot sell
-Tom rented out a storage locker to store his tools and gravel. No idea if he still has it and Tom probably doesn't either.
-An amount was withheld from Tom for tax purposes on capital gains when he liquidated his inheritance. Tom claims that it was more than was needed and would get a refund once he filed his taxes. He never filed
-Money sent to the scammer, daily living expenses, and any random one off expense that Tom refuses to acknowledge. These are the unknown variables to finding out how much money he sent the scammer but based on the other expenses, it is north of 30k.
Tom has claimed about 2 months ago that he still has 22k left in his investment account but he was still talking with his scammers at this time. Since then, he has made no money at his gem show, spent money on rent for his tiny crack shack that has showers too small for him to fit in, and gotten either colon cancer or a haemorrhoid he refuses to treat. He has admitted that he cannot afford the rent at his place based on his income and gets food stamps.
Feel free to come up with your own guess as to how much Tom has lost to scams
