Hearts Scammed.

[Thecat23]

Hearts apparently have also been scammed like Accies have. £80k they are reporting.

Yeah no problem, 6000 seats in brown. Yep got that, delivered next week mate, down payment £80,000.

Heres my Nigerian bank details.

Why are they releasing this info tonight?

[davym7062]

No where near what they have scammed over the years!!!

[Keith_M]

Why couldn't it have been Accies scammed of 80k and the Yams 700k

[Northernhibee]

Maulary Martin also did a bang on impersonation of a footballer and scammed a three and a half year contract as well.

[HFCdeb]

Have to admit - I laughed out loud at this 😂

[Thecat23]

So they can use it as an excuse for when the can’t finish paying the stand.

Thought that myself, but they are a publicity seeking club, although Fraud is a serious crime

I wonder if it’s anything to do with the cash paid into the cow?

Their systems were hacked probably.

Old news this is it not? £15m for that stand is scam of the century.

Quite a lot of irony around Tynecastle way - the save the children shirts, now this.

Gary MacKay should write a story about it all. He'd probably win a medal for it.

[Thecat23]

Craig Levein has prob been playing Gala Bingo online and used some of Hearts cash for it and not told wee Anne.

Does that account for the "forgotten" seats? Did some Asian business man score 80g's from the yaks?

Due to an extraordinary good summer in Nigeria and a unusually high yield in our potato crop, we are pleased to be able to offer one lorry load of our finest potatoes at £80K delivered to anywhere in the UK. Ideal for chips. Bank transfer or big bag of cash would be wonderful.

You were referring to the African footballer because of the financial irregularities. Try harder. Don’t make me laugh. And I take offence because I know that being African has got nothing to do with anything. A ***** footballer is a ***** footballer. A crook is a crook. We have more than enough crooks in Scotland and it isn’t because they’re Scottish, that singles them out.

It’s the African bit that bothers my sensible, decent self, not laughing at the Yams. My wife could be a Jambo too, but as it is the ‘Famous’ who are the object of derision, don’t bring Africans into it. Maybe I’m being over sensitive, but I know fine well if people are making ignorant remarks that might upset any African Hibs Fans. I wouldn’t want my young son (a proud African born Hibee) to see fans of the team he supports thinking it was okay to make derisory remarks about those of half a billion he shares a continent with. I’m fortunate to have travelled all over Africa and feel I have some sympathy for people there. Is that so hard to understand?

As Hibees, we have rivalries with Hearts and banter is fair game, of course. Call it a personal thing, but I wouldn’t normally speculate and comment on areas I don’t know or understand or on places I haven’t been. Don’t believe half the news I read, either, call me cynical. That’s all I’m going to say on this. Plenty of humour in the Yams, just your words (not you personally) and others need called out for the lazy, ignorant views buried in the humour.

I don’t think for a min he meant to offend anyone. Let’s be totally honest here all the dodgy emails about cash are from an “African Prince” I’ve never had one from a Scottish prince or Welsh prince! If we did I’m sure he’d have said Scots or Welshman.... or woman!!!

It's really not hard to work out. Hearts got shafted by a Nigerian pretending to be a footballer. That's a fact and the boy hasn't even got a club months after leaving them. Course it's going to be linked to them getting ****ged off the park too.

Was he “pretending” to be a footballer or are you just making assumptions based on his ethnicity?

Keep digging.

[Bostonhibby]

I don’t think for a min he meant to offend anyone. Let’s be totally honest here all the dodgy emails about cash are from an “African Prince” I’ve never had one from a a a Scottish prince or Welsh prince! If we did I’m sure he’d have said Scots or Welshman.... or woman!!!

I do think you have maybe went a bit OTT on this. It’s friday night have a beer. German beer is good but there is also good beers from Belgium, France and others countries I’m not singling any out. [emoji6]

(Tongue firmly in cheeek) [emoji1360]As a Scots patriot I am deeply offended that the Scottish princes you allude to haven't contacted me.

I'd have found it difficult not to send my bank details.

The latest of their World Cup players who couldn't get a work permit but was well worth the wait because he played against Messi and became their highest earning player. I was delighted he came in to Replace Callum Paterson, not because Paterson is of African descent, but because Paterson is actually a decent footballer replaced by a complete huddy. I just thought I would clear that part up too.

My wife’s African. Is it okay if I challenge your misconceptions? I think Hearts are facing a bit of karma with this, but it is all too easy and lazy to forget that we have a lot of problems in our own country. Before one laughs at the wrong targets, take a look at ourselves. Then laugh at the Yams.

My wife was born in Africa but I don't get bent out of shape at someone making a tangible observation with a little tinge of humor. Get over it. When was the last time you hurled yourself into a dialogue negative about Irish, Polish or Scottish people? I'm sure it's more you getting offended than your wife.


Your “joke” was Hearts lost £80k from a scam because they employed an African. I’m not sure why you find it difficult to comprehend that might be offensive.

A club with no shame. A bastion of black hole economics. Even the poppy charity got stiffed. They can't complain at being robbed of a mere 80K when they got away with spending umpteen millions of stiffed creditors and Lithuanian taxpayers hard earned.

Correct. Ironic that one of the many companies shafted by them was 'Spectator Seating Ltd' of Wolverhampton.(£13K). I hope they are not expecting any sympathy from anyone.:wink:

They’re saying it was an online scam, but I’ve heard from a reliable source that someone nicked the cow.

[CentreLine]

There seems to be a scam doing the rounds where people are persuaded to give remote access to their computer to a caller. The caller is well practiced at pretending to be calling from seemingly authentic well known company and wants to make a refund deposit to the recipient’s bank account. The caller is armed with personal details of the recipient, presumably obtained from a previous hack. The person opens their internet banking in order to allow the transfer of funds to happen and creates the BACS link. Immediately the link is made, money is drained from the recipient’s account.

No idea if this is what happened to Hamilton orbHearyabbut it is certainly just one of the scams happening right now. Be warned.

I hope not; but scamming is a big industry, there is more going on than most people know about.
This is often because the victims are too embarrassed to own up, and banks - if they are involved - do not want to have their reputations damaged.

It is not just stupid people who get taken in - clever people do too. A lot of legal companies have been caught out and scammed into transferring mortgage money they were holding into the wrong account.

I know of a guy, a clergyman no less, who paid out £30,000 chasing an elusive 'Spanish lottery jackpot'.
