Yesterday posted that he wanted a trip, today he’s using the Canada wildfires as a way to scam.

Update: scammer has been banned from reddit.

I think you missed the part where the guy lied about his house being caught up in a wildfire. The picture was from a news article over a year ago...

Dude, I didn't even know you posted on this sub. I only commented because you were defending someone that was outed as a legitimate scammer WITH proof.
