Scammers: Georgia Teen Busted For Elaborate $28 Million Bank Fraud Scheme

EXCLUSIVE: He thought the mailman was coming with a tax return check, instead state and local authorities delivered a warrant on a South Fulton County teen accused of using online business to steal bank accounts, scam the state of Georgia out of more than $20 million @wsbtv at 6 pic.twitter.com/TSiddhHcwh — Nicole Carr (@NicoleCarrWSB) December 6, 2018 Credit cards and the scammers… Charles Turner Arrested For Fraud A Georgia teen who ran an elaborate scammy scheme is behind bars. WSBTV reports that Charles Turner, 18, was on a secret crime spree; making several high-dollar fraudulent transactions, both online and through banks ranging from $14,000 to a whopping $28 million. The teen was arrested this week at his Riverdale, Georgia home while he was waiting on a check he scammed from the State Department of Revenue. Turner’s scam centered around Riverdale X, an electronics business website that “sold” Amazon products for an upcharge. He used customer info to steal their bank account info then used that information to make payments to the Department of Revenue and to pay his car payments. Investigators recently noticed that something seemed off about the money Turner was paying the state on a daily basis that ended up being reversed due to fraud and insufficient funds. Josh Waites, an investigator with the Georgia Department of Revenue told WSBTV exactly how scammy Charles masterminded his plan. “He actually set up a business, set up withholding accounts and sales tax accounts and was overpaying by more than $25 million onto those accounts and then requesting refunds for those same amounts to be returned back to him in his personal checking account,” Waites explained. Last month he finagled himself into an $18,000 payment from a SunTrust Bank using a fraudulent check. The salacious scammer’s mother and brother were home when he was arrested and they, OF COURSE, told investigators that they had NO IDEA what was going on. When he was arrested, however, one of the four cars in the family’s driveway was seized. What do YOU think about this teenager’s fraud scam???

Meghan Markle’s Weed-Dealing Nephew: Samantha Markle Sucks!

The battling Markles are at it again. Fortunately, this time they’re focusing their negativity on one another instead of dragging Meghan into yet another messy situation. You may have heard about Meghan’s awful family , led by her horrendous half-siblings, Samantha Markle and Thomas Markle Jr. But do you recall — the most chillaxed Markle of all? Okay, so technically Tyler Dooley isn’t a Markle, but he is the son of Thomas Markle Jr., who shall henceforth be referred to as TMJ, because we wish his jaw would lock shut. Tyler is a “cannabis farmer” who currently stars on a British reality show, which is basically Big Brother , except all of the contestants have sort of tie to the Royal Family. As a result, Tyler has been receiving a lot of attention from the British press, despite the fact that he seems to have no real ties to Meghan. “It was never like we had a super tight-knit family before to be honest,” Tyler said in a recent interview with The Sun . “But the fact that now the whole world gets to see how my father or Aunt Samantha behaves, it is like an open wound for everyone to see.” Yes, Tyler claimed he’s always known that his dad and his aunt were scumbags, but he’s pained by the fact that they’ve decided to flaunt their scumbaggery to the world: “That’s the hardest part, the fact that there is no privacy. It is hard to deal with. It is embarrassing and sad all at the same time,” Dooley said. “My father and Aunt Samantha have sold my grandfather out, sold my family out, sold Meghan out. It has been hard to deal with.” “The only family I have left now are my mom, brother and grandfather.” Tyler went on to reveal that he finds out about Samantha Markle’s latest attempts to ruin Meghan’s life the same way as the rest of us: “We are still close and fine but for the rest of my family, their lives are lived out in the tabloids and that is the hardest thing. “I have to read what’s going on in my family in the news because I don’t even speak to them.” Though he says he’s still tight with his grandfather — Meghan’s dad, Thomas Markle — Tyler is admittedly a bit of an outsider in the Markle clan. Still, his shenanigans provide a welcome distraction from the recent Meghan news, which keeps growing increasingly dark. In addition to the reports about the ongoing feud between Meghan and Kate Middleton, there are new reports about who’s leaking all this royal gossip to the press. The latest to be accused is Prince Andrew, and conspiracy theorists think he’s keeping the press informed on Kate and Meghan’s feud so as to distract from the pedophilia scandal involving his longtime friend Jeffrey Epstein. Like we said, things are getting weird across the pond. Season 37 of The Crown should be pretty wild. Since Meghan apparently doesn’t age, she should be able to play herself.

Tread Lightly, Ponytail: Ariana Grande Is Looking Suspiciously Tan, While Using AAVE And Folks Have Questions…

Source: NBC / Getty Fans Are Accusing Ariana Grande Of Using A Blaccent And Blackface Ariana Grande’s “Thank You, Next” recently blew up the internet — but not without controversy. Folks are taking notice that even though the video is giving us homages of several different hit teen movies, one thing doesn’t change throughout the visual; Ariana’s extremely tan skin. Ariana has been seemingly tanning for a minute (it was even apparent at Aretha’s homegoing service ), but this may be the darkest we’ve seen her. This image, along with how differently she spoke in a recent Billboard interview is raising brows. While skimming through old photos of herself, Ariana seems to be getting sassy and using AAVE. Did she always speak like this? Hit the 2:25 mark to see what folks are pointing out. Hmmm. Her accent. I'm sorry but she's been coming off as so fake lately I'm DONE pic.twitter.com/6EoC0w8paA — jeremy (@gagasbaristaa) December 5, 2018 This was just the beginning of the discussion. Ariana was raised in Boca Raton, Florida and her family is Italian according to her bio. Her skin never tanned this dark when she was younger. Why does nobody talk about how Ariana Grande is appropriating black culture? pic.twitter.com/6zia0KhbOe — Barry McCockiner (@SportsTalkBarry) November 30, 2018 What are YOUR thoughts on this? Hit the flip to see how else folks are reacting to Ariana’s new look and voice.

Cardi B Probably Dumped Offset Because He Tried to Have a Threesome… Without Her

Cardi B and Offset are no longer a couple. This news, confirmed by Cardi B herself on Tuesday night, does not exactly come as a shock. Not when you consider Offset’s history of cheating, procreating children out of wedlock and simply being called Offset. But the reason why Cardi B finally ended things with her baby daddy?  The reason why she said the two simply “grew out of love” and will just be “friends” and “business partners” going forward? It may at least cause you to do a quick double take. The artists got secretly married last year and welcomed a daughter named Kulture in July. However, while Cardi was anxious to f-ck Offset as soon as possible as becoming a first-time mother, TMZ has now published pretty strong evidence that proves Offset was trying to f-ck around on Cardi just prior to this milestone. The idiot has been caught trying to arrange a threesome. The aforementioned celebrity gossip site has shared screneshots of a text message exchange between Offset and a woman who goes by the name Summer Bunni. In this exchange, Offset is attempting to convince Bunni to meet him in Atlanta with a female rapper named Cuban Doll in order for the trio to have sex. As you can see below, it doesn’t take much convincing, really. Bunni is totally down for this mini orgy: TMZ says that the screenshot was leaked by a woman who is mad at Cuban — and that the conversation took place on June 28, just a couple weeks before Cardi B gave birth. For those who think such a back-and-forth could be edited or doctored, this same source also leaked a photo of Offset on FaceTime. “Oh so @cubanndsavae you wasn’t gone have a 3 sumn with @offsetyrn” reads the message attached to the damning photo. Shortly after news of this alleged threesome attempt went viral, two things happened. First, Summer Bunni acknowledged her possible role in Cardi and Offset’s breakup, telling TMZ that she felt terrible about it. “I have not messed with Offset since he’s had his baby,” she said in a video sent to the site, adding: “I didn’t know how serious this marriage was. A lot of girls would just deal with this situation and just be like, ‘yo, I’m the reason they’re getting a divorce.’” Ms. Bunni continued: “I feel ashamed. It’s a lot, but just coming from me and to Cardi B and to our fans, to her family to her situation, these were never my intentions and I never wanted to break up a happy home.” In Bunni’s defense, the future for Offset and Cardi B looked rather bleak even if her relationship with the former had not been exposed. “So everybody been bugging me and everything and you know I’ve been trying to work things out with my baby father for a hot minute now,” Cardi said in her own video, announcing the split. She went on to say it was “nobody’s fault” that the relationship concluded, saying on camera: “We are really good friends and we are really good business partners – you know he’s always somebody that I run to to talk to, and we got a lot of love for each other but things just haven’t been working out between us for a long time.” The second thing that happened yesterday, though, is that Cardi shared the first real photo to date of her baby. Just look at little Kulture! Finally, Summer Bunni also took to Instagram in the wake of this scandal and wrote the following on Wednesday: Goodmorning, a quick letter to the fans, followers and social media outlets. During this last 48 hours, I haven’t enjoyed the social media frenzy. not only is it draining but humbling. I will always be woman enough to admit when I’m wrong, and in this situation I was. Seeing another woman’s pain does not bring me any joy, nor do I think it’s funny. I’ve always been for women supporting each other but in this situation, not only myself but others have failed. I separated myself from certain situations and people for a reason. This is not a letter for sympathy but acknowledgment to everyone whom as questions. Going into 2019 focused and dedicated to becoming a better me. Thank y’all – summer. Neither Offset nor Cuban Doll have yet responded to the threesome allegation. We cannot verify whether or not it actually took place.

With Brian Kemp Gone, Georgia Holds Runoff Elections Without Widespread Voter Suppression

Last month, Georgia Secretary of State Kemp oversaw his own race for governor, which was close but ended in defeat for Abrams. There was damning evidence that pointed to Kemp using a variety of voter suppression tactics to target Black voters. Kemp resigned under pressure on Nov. 8–after he had declared victory over Abrams.

He also faced multiple lawsuits, including one from a group of voting rights organizations accusing him of using a racially-biased method to purge the names of about 700,000 voters from the rolls. Additionally, voters in predominantly African-American urban districts encountered lots of problems at the polls on Election Day—from faulty electronic machines that switched votes from Abrams to Kemp to excessively long lines because of missing power cords for voting machines.

Joining the conversation surrounding racial disparities in the criminal justice system, Meek has been shedding light on how Black youth are targeted and kept behind bars for extended periods of time. And besides getting politically active , the Wins & Losses lyricist is also killing on the music front, having just dropped his highly anticipated fourth studio album. Possibly his most memorable project to date, Championships boasted incredible features from mentor Jay-Z , rap newcomer Cardi B , Fabolous , and even former rap nemesis Drake . Meek tugged at heartstrings on “Trauma,” Hov made his relationship with Kanye West clear on “What’s Free,” Drizzy and Meek reunited in a moment of brotherly love on “Going Bad” …and that was only the beginning. Listen to the full album here .

He also gave advice to the upcoming generation of rappers and discussed using his platform to speak on important issues, plus Kevin Hart coming to visit him in prison. Watch the interview via TIDAL  above, plus a few highlights below. On Getting A Hov Feature For Championships “I represent the path that Hov created—a young hustler from Marcy projects that became a billionaire. That’s the sh*t I grew up on and the type of music I grew up on and the things I wanted to be. I spent a piece of my life sipping lean, for a short period of time, popping percs…but that was never my lifestyle…I grew up on being a hustler and flipping money and doubling money and trying to move your family out the hood and being a boss. So, I always wanted that Jay-Z feature. He came through this time. Shoutout to Hov!” On His Favorite Bar In Hov’s Verse “My favorite part is ‘I ain’t got a billion streams, I got a billion dollars.’” On Squashing The Beef With Drake And Coming Together For The Album “A lot of people don’t know me and Drake been contacting each other for a year, but it’s like I’m not with the fake shit. I’m not with the, just try to act like I’m cool with you to do a record. If we fight or you got beef with somebody in the street, you don’t wanna…have a problem with them, and then the next day y’all got y’all arm around each other. It take time—he gotta be ready, I gotta be ready for that sh*t.” Watch the clip up top to hear stories from the rapper about his time in prison, that time Jay Z accidentally played “Back To Back” during a double date with Meek, Nicki Minaj, and Beyoncé , and more.

Pete Davidson: Ariana Grande Fans Want Me to Kill Myself!

It’s been almost two months since Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson broke up , but the scrutiny and speculation surrounding the former couple just won’t die down. Of course, part of the reason for the continued fascination is that Pete and Ari can’t stop talking about their split. Last week, the breakup became the talk of social media yet again, thanks to Ariana’s well-received music video for ” Thank U, Next .” The lyrics to the song address several of Grande’s past relationships, and the video features a nod to her time with Pete. Many were hopeful that that would be the end of it, but it seems Ari’s fans have been relentless in their harassment of Davidson. And the situation apparently got so bad this week that Pete felt the need to issue a public statement. Taking to Instagram, Pete posted the following heartfelt plea for compassion: ” I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything. “I’m trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole entire world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference. “Especially in today’s climate where everyone loves to be offended and upset it truly is mind boggling . “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” “I just want you guys to know. “No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset I even have to say this. To all those holding me down and seeing this for what it is – I see you and I love you .” Folks who only became familiar with Davidson due to his relationship with Grande might be surprised to hear him say that the bullying has been going on for the better part of a year. Pete’s been open about his struggles with addiction and bipolar disorder, and has frequently discussed his troubles during SNL segments. As a result, there’s been considerable interest in his personal life for quite some time. Many who were familiar with Pete were surprised by the uproar that occurred when he joked about his relationship with Grande on the air. After all, this is a man who’s made a career of pushing the envelope and being intensely open about his personal life. But today, Pete bared his soul for reasons that have nothing to do with comedy. We hope those who might be inclined to heap abuse upon him out of misguided loyalty to his ex might pause and consider what Pete said today.
