Seems plenty more had too so uklarry has been banned. A post on the forum asking for help may be okay but not lots of messages to members he doesn't know. He was warned last year that he couldn't do this but obviously hasn't listened.

I wondered why my PM conversations with him kept going round in circles.

Not very good at juggling several conversations at once is he......

The most likely reason you missed out was that you didn't post in any of the TFF forums last year,as everyone who did probably found themselves larry's penpal thereafter.

I guess most of us initially tried to be helpful and steer him in the right direction,before eventually telling him to bog off.

When he resumed contact again this year with PM's entitled "I'm in Canada",I changed the subject title to "You're in Cloud Cuckoo Land" when replying,and that remained the title of all his follow-up PM's, until one he sent me last night entitled "MoneyGram" was "deleted by the author before it was delivered", which I now presume was more likely to have been deleted by ADMIN as a consequence of his ban.

I had previously,having tried unsucessfully last year to direct him towards alternative games open to overseas residents,told him recently he was taking a big risk sending £6 by Western Union or similar method to anyone he didn't know over here, as they might make off with the winnings,yet no-one would otherwise be entering a TFF team on his behalf,until they'd received his £6 payment in advance -which he hadn't mentioned how he was proposing to do in his approach.

Perhaps that may have led to his "MoneyGram" idea ?

I too was left with the same question in my mind as the title of this thread,and would say to larry,whom I've no doubt will be reading this,despite having been banned as a member of Fiso,that he should consider himself lucky,as otherwise he'd have found himself inundated with requests from all those Fisoers he's been approaching,to send them a £6 MoneyGram urgently so they could enter an extra TFF team before the deadline. That could have proved a rather big outlay for UKlarry :wink:

I had a spare free entry code so stuck a team in for him last year :oops:

He then PMd me with his chosen XI. I think he thought I'd manage the team on his behalf.....That didn't happen.

Anyway, i was all set to do the same again this year so am glad I saw this thread.

I'm not sure what he wanted.

On paper he was genuinely wanting me to enter his team for him, it was already set up and I just had to pay for it which I was willing to do if he paid me first!

Last year was more fun because your card stayed registered to your TFF account, he'd have been able to see the details and your card would be 'locked' to that TFF account. He got a 'no'.

Can't see how he could scam me this year (if that was his intention???) out of any more than a TFF entry (and that was if I'd entered before getting his moneygram or whatever). He did promise me a cheque but neglected to say in which currency or even ask for my postal address.....

That's where he was clever - there was no hint that he'd approached anyone else but you, specially selected as the sort of bloke that might help someone in need of assistance - and don't try and convince us that you wouldn't have replied if you'd been "selected" ! :wink:

Don't worry though blahblah,now that he'll have seen how hurt you are not to have been one of the "chosen ones", when he comes back under a new identity you can be sure you'll not be overlooked next time round :D

It's better to have loved uklarry and lost uklarry than never to have loved at all.
