As most of you know, I try to expose con artists on a regular basis, Jack Price/Corey Black being one of my biggest targets.
The reason for this is that 1) I believe (as do many) that Jack Price is one of the biggest con artists out there and 2) Corey Black doesn't exist and is fact Jack merely trying to pass off his own picks under then name of a fictitious person.
Anyways, today I got up the courage or some would say the stupidity to call his/their 800 number to receive both "can't miss" picks in the NBA tonight.
Now keep this in mind: on the comp. phone 888-7573777, Jack speaking for "Corey" says to simply call and one of "the free game operators" will give out the games "no questions asked."
Ok-so I decided to call but obviously from a pay phone and here is the gist of what happened:
The person answering the phone said I believe "Black Sports"
I said that I was calling for the free game(I gave a fake first name of course).
The person answering the phone(AJ-that name sounds familiar), said he was on the other line and whether he could have MY number in order to call me back(the oldest con trick in the book).
I said "no-put me on hold."(for obvious reasons).
AJ then said he couldn't do that but to call back in 4 or 5 minutes.
I called back, and then is when fun begins.
Now remember ,I don't remember every sentence spoken in conversation, but I can give you a drift of what happened.
I told AJ I wanted the two free games in reponse to ad in comp. phone.
AJ(who sounded pleasant enough) asked me how I was doing in the games.
I said pretty well.
He then asked if I used a local or offshore;I said an offshore which is true.
He then asked how much I bet on games.
He asked him why he wanted to know(the real reason of course is so that they can decide how much to charge you).
He gave me a song and dance act about how just wanting to bs sure I was a serious gambler, because a lot of people aren't, blah, blah, blah.
I didn't want to belabor the point and so I said a couple of hundred to a dime (I actually bet less than that but figured that was reasonable).
He then went into a long monologue about how well they have been doing, that a person who justs bets $100 max a game has made several thousand in past few weeks, etc.
He then asked if he ("Corey") could make me money, whether I would be willing to pay them a portion of it.
I asked him how much, and he said"whatever you feel comfortable paying."(an interesting but evasive answer).
He said that if I had been with him(meaning Corey) last year, I would have had no problem sending them 10K because I would have made so much more(this was an obvious test of me to see how I would react).
Then playing the part, I said that the service sounded real good, BUT that ad on comp. phone said that tonight's games would be given away NO QUESTIONS ASKED and that I didn't expect to have to listen to a speech about how good the service was and about what the fees are.
At one point in conversation, he asked for a "small" deposit today just to get started.
I repeated that I wanted just the free games for today,and as stated on comp. phone there would be no questions asked and by inference no money requested.
He then told me he would give me a phone mumber where I could get some free plays but not the "best" picks.
I asked him what the number was, and guess what-the number given was the regular comp. number that I call every day for their comps(888-7573777);in other words, he figured just to get rid of me, knowing that he couldn't con me into buying anything today,he would simply give me the comp. number figuring I didn't know it.
At this point,I told him that I already called the number today and then said to him-"Well you have told me everything I need to know" and promptly hung up(damn it-I should have said give my best to Jack Prick)e and Corey Black(head).
I am sure that many of you have similar stories to tell,; to tell you the truth, this is the first time in a long while that I have stooped to this level, but as they say "curiosity killed the cat" got the best of me today.
I sure hope at rhe very least that this little story is helpful to any newbies debating on whether to call any "come-on" service.
