There are three separate Mugshots threads on this board and none of them
add any value to the forum.
Be aware of MUGSHOTS!

There seems to be a lot of bad blood between mugshots and some very senior members of the forum.
I don't know mugshot personally and have noticed the Vegas thread jumping up and down the main page, but never really took any notice of it because it didn't really interest me.
Obviously Oxenbeef and Wowhaxor, know something i don't!!

ok so I have read every single post on this thread and have come to the conclusion that the kid overreacted the same way i do when I haven't had a cigarette in a couple hours. lol. I have spoken to mugshots a couple of times and don't think he is scamming anyone. Mugs pay the kid so he shuts up but make sure you cover your ass like oxenbeef said. also just a quick side note about the vegas thing.... its really not that expensive to go to vegas. nobody ever said they were staying in a penthouse suite. hell if I liked people i would do something like that.

Yeah, I talked to Mugshots just now, and I even suggested that no company that does business legally (whether in good standing or even of ill repute) would EVER send payment to someone through an unknown, third-party acquaintance whose job was not that of an escrow or something of that sort.
From the sound of it, the hangup with PayPal was that they flagged him for trying to send $1500 from an IP that isn't familiar to his account. That isn't exactly unbelievable if you've ever worked with PayPal before. They're a nightmare.
I suppose I would suggest this: Several smaller payments through PayPal. Say something like $250 every Monday and Thursday for three weeks. That would total $1500 paid without being such a high amount as to hang up PayPal.
If not that way, then even a direct transfer to the father's bank account. Or, hell, the OP could just go out and get a bank account tomorrow. This is the United States. It doesn't take long to do. I've done it over a lunch break.
That would honestly make all this go away it seems. I don't blame Mugs for not wanting to send $1500 via Western Union to a third-party alleged acquaintance of the person he's trying to pay. The request of such is shady as hell, and nobody who knows what they're doing would EVER do that. The fact that the OP is requesting it is absurd.

The problem now is that Mugshots has no way to pay the person. That is where all of this trouble started from. Mugshots said his paypal account is limited, so the only way to pay is to have a 3rd party control the money and PayPal it to the thread starter. Mugshots will not throw away his rep over $1,500, even if he WAS a scammer, this is no short term project for him. Everyone just needs to wait another day or 2 for this to get sorted out. Even straight up scammers get 48 hours to fix everything.
I am not saying Mugshots is super legit, but he will pay the $1500 without a doubt.

I told Tim to give me until tomorrow. I showed him and felt bad. He was getting paid out of me because I wanted him to have a chance and he wasn't cut out with us.
Honestly eh it doesn't matter. I can send it as soon as the account is unlimited or western union.

What do you have against porcelain?
If you're going to argue about that subject, this topic is probably not the place to do it, as this topic has to do with circumstances between Mugshots and the OP.
This isn't the best place to discuss porcelain mugs.

A MUG is usually the name given to a victim, not to the actual scammer.
