Corey Weissman is a tae kwon do practitioner that turned to the bjj and at one point worked himself upto the purple belt level even accumulating some swanky shoyoroll gear over the tenure of his bjj career.

But the latest report from Bullshido suggests since getting injured and quitting bjj Weissman has been running a lucrative reselling gig in a group for private Shoyoroll collectors repeatedly selling some rare items.

Just how did he accomplish this?

He would private message active members of the Shoyoroll Trade or Sell group offering to sell. Once the funds were transferred he would not send the item and instead re-sell it to another member over a separate private message. Therefore, he would get paid multiple times for the same item that was never sent. The key to this scam was the extensive use of PayPal Friends and Family services. Mr. Weissman would ask for the funds to be send via PayPal Friends and Family so the buyer would incur the 3% fee. This also means it’s not a goods and services purchase and not subject to same protections.

Eventually he ended up offering the same item to two friends who bragged to each other in the end learning they’ve bought the same rare item from the same seller.

Since then the group chatter started with other people coming forward as having not received their items.

Currently a number of people are filing complaints to paypal and at least one person recovered 115$.

Members of the Facebook Shoyoroll Trade Or Sell group are working with PayPal, additionally criminal reports were filed with the FBI and Simi Valley PD.
