Everything about this smells like a young guy derping around and grabbing at the low hanging fruit.

But even if he had some weak connection to some organized crime syndicate, he’s be a low level expendable grunt. It would be more cost effective for them to just throw him under the bus.

Are we worried about the dutch mafia attacking Americans?

Apropos of nothing, you guys know the Mafia is active in the Netherlands, right?

The mafia is everywhere, it's hard to generalize it that way without sounding like an exaggeration but you're right. I don't think that's what's going on here, but it would be absolutely wild if this guy was part of a larger organization that tries to scam people out of money across the internet.

I did not mean to suggest Poppin was part of a Mafia conspiracy.

I was pointing out a potential solution to the problem.

On a more serious note, perhaps it is time to halt all chip sales to and from the Netherlands until this man is in jail.

I remember him wanting to leave our online game while winning, before the agreed time, citing complaints from his gf....

Holland is a Rule of Law country. While there is corruption and crime there too, the institutions are still much stronger.
This guy is a petty criminal. Petty criminals cannot survive in an organized crime environment.

He would have been thrown in a ditch with his throat cut in any country or territory (such as "Kosovo", a product of an historically and strategically unforgivable US folly), where organized crime rules.

Seema a bit harsh, not dealing with 20 million people cause one was a scammer.
 
So how can you tell which members from the Netherlands are NOT Poppin by another name? I looked into him thoroughly when he reached out to me, and there were no red flags at that time. He claimed a real address, and a Linkedin account with a legit job. His actions / insanity were what caused me to hit "pause" on his transaction, or I'd be out 600 chips.

The answer is simple: He should go to jail. International mail fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud are not "petty" crimes.

He used fake names and forged bank documents and mailing / shipping documents (at least forgery, too) to further the scams. If he's doing this to us, there are probably other victims in other areas of life. And I'm damned sure he didn't report the money he stole from members here on his taxes. We should at least report THAT to tax authorities in his home country.

American victims who are out money or things of value (chips) should at least report him to their local FBI office by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Members in other countries who are victims should report to their local and national law enforcement until this guy's name is on as many police reports as possible. Perhaps they will do nothing. Perhaps many reports will link him to other things he's done, other people he's scammed.

The option of "let's do nothing" didn't stop him from coming back to try to hit again.

The problem is he could appear coming from almost any country in the world.
If his next appearance comes from a seemingly US IP, would you advise against any deals with American members?
Sure, all victims MUST report to their Police.

Ok, is this actually a real phone number? I don't know why but as a non-American I find that kind of funny...they must get so many prank calls.

If you’re foolish enough to prank call the FBI, you deserve what comes of it.
I doubt *67 before you dial does much good when calling the FBI.

You are wasting your time reaching out to American law enforcement. If you want action reach out to local law enforcement in the Netherlands that have jurisdiction.
 
Again, InterPol and EuroPol are only fed by data provided by national Police Forces.
