Avoid Andrew Truppa - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

darkrage6 · 03-30-2025, 08:16 PM

So I remember I posted a while back about how i'd gotten scammed by someone who had promised me "Second Time Around" on VHS for 20 bucks or so and he'd asked me to send him money through Western Union and I never did get my tapes and he stopped replying to me.

Well I had to use my Western Union account for the first time in a long time today and as it turned out it kept the record of that transaction, I wasn't sure if the guy that scammed me was the same person who scammed other users like MrPitt before, but after looking through my WU account I can confirm the person that scammed me is a repeat offender. The name of the guy is "Andrew Truppa", searching his name on here brings up decade old threads calling the guy out for scamming others so it looks like he's been doing this for quite some time.

So a warning to users on here-if someone asks you to send them money through Western Union and you see the name "Andrew Truppa"(I forgot his username from when he scammed me)stay far away.

Oh this wasn't an Ebay purchase, this was from a user on this site. I started a thread asking if anyone had the short-lived UPN sitcom "Second Time Around"(which fortunately has been found since)and one guy responded saying he'd recorded the entire series on VHS and offered me 20 bucks for the tapes and that sounded like a good deal so I made a Western Union account and sent him the money through there and then he totally ghosted me and he never sent me anything.

Sorry to hear that, looks like he's branching out into other scam methods.
