Its important to verify the accounts and make certain this money isn't being stolen. There are a million sob stories on GoFundMe and even more fake 'Please help' after a legitimate tragedy. I'm all for helping out somebody in need but I wouldn't digitally transfer money to the first person asking on somebody elses behalf

I can assure you that to many people, bandito's match calling, build sharing, and training games were more valuable than buying a mech pack.

I can spend that money happily knowing that I have already recieved something in return.

Thanks bandito.

Also the very concept of schmitty being a fraudy fraudster makes me tremble in laughter.

[MechaBattler]

Stranger things have happened. They're not trying to offend. They just want to be sure the person in need is actually getting the money. You all might know each other personally. But there's people who've never met any of you. You have to be reasonable.

+1 for bandito, showed me the ropes back in the day

It would go a long way if El Bandito confirmed this himself, and added an account number.. Direct bank transfer is usually safest..

A guy with 3 posts asking for money for another player, don't get me wrong.. but we don't know you..

You might as well be a Nigerian prince..

If not tho, then I'm really sorry for El Bandito's daughter..

Ambush is a known quantity and

Confirmation was being asked for, and you respond with snide. Don't let your obvious dislike of the person asking detract from what is a legitimate request. <smh>




You saw someone being a snarky jerk? Well, obviously not everyone did. At the most extreme worst, it was a failed attempt at adding humor to (lighten) a bad situation. My statement above holds.

Ambush is a known quantity, and it wasn't just one or two people who noticed the bitchy way the first guy responded.

Update.....I've confirmed with my bank that I can transfer up to $2500 for $13.50 (Canadian $'s which is like $2.00 US $'s). I'm going to complete a trial transfer once I have all of Bandito's information as there are costs that will be incurred by his bank. Thanks so much for all of comments as well as the private pm's - A

[Vellron2005]

I'm glad some people understand what I meant, and have called out the snarky ones.. Thank you for that.

In other, more important news..

I'm both glad, and not glad that this is all legit.. glad that the community is willing to help.. not glad that there is a need for help..

As was already stated in both thread and PMs.. please post financial transfer info..

Is a gofundme possible?

Best wishes to you and your daughter Bandito.

[El Bandito]

It is a very heavy and personal topic to bring up here but it is true, unfortunately. My daughter fell from great heights many days ago and she sustained heavy bone and tissue injuries in the head. Her life is already no longer in danger, but she has been treated in the trauma center for a long time due to the nature of her wound, and will require time to recover.
Truth is, a heartfelt prayer feels just as important as any kind of monetary help but if you do wish support her treatment financially then my Mongolian bank account info is this:

*edit* Payment info can be gotten from Ambush Schmidt.

It was a very tragic way to learn what is truly impotant in life, and I have been devoting my full time to her recovery. I most likely will continue to be absent from forums or gaming for the near future.

snip.

Plz plz remove your bank info on this public site. Leave the transfers through private channels like Ambush or something else to minimize your chance of something stealing your bank info.

Bandito, do you have PayPal? If you do, you or ambush pm me and I'll take up collections for your daughters care. I'm sure I can get a few people to donate. Good luck to your daughter in her recovery. And if it's appropriate, I'll mail over a box of stuff for her to play with. I've got young nieces so I tend to stock up on those Barbie sized star wars and super hero dolls.

Yeah please Bandito it'd be horrible if some souless jerk took advantage of this. A Paypal or something would probably be the best & safest way to handle this.

[Ambush Schmitt]

Hi folks.....Thank-you for asking about PayPal - unfortunately PayPal is not set-up for Mongolia. I have requested Bandito to take down his personal information. - Ambush

Furthermore Ellrons tone was kinda ****** and uncalled for. There was a much more tactful way to ask for reference than comparing this to a common email scam.

I did read it, I just think it's better to avoid attributing malice that may not be intended. Regardless, this isn't the place to have this discussion so i won't derail any further.

My sympathies and best wishes for Bandito and his daughter.

Ambush,
Can we paypal you and you do a fund transfer over to El Bandito? I'm a father myself so I know the feeling when you kid ends up in hospital.

Hi.....I've just sent off my "trial" transfer to Bandito to find out costs on his end given Mongolia has no PayPal type options. I'm trying to figure out the best way with the lowest cost e.g. is it the same cost to send a large amount; are there thresholds etc.. I've asked Bandito to let me the costs on his end. My cost is $13.50 Canadian....I'll keep you posted and thanks so much for your care. - A[/color]

When I've done money transfers from Canada to overseas, there has typically been a point around 1-1.5k beyond which extra verification is required. I use an online service (transferwise) as my bank has high fees.

i had a subdural hematoma when i was 11... i was playing soccer, I was looking at the ball the other kid was looking at the ball.. His forehead hit my right temple... DIDnt knock me out.. made it 4 more hours b4 i vomited and passed out..

(i acutely vomited out side on the way to my moms van, she had decided i needed to go to the hospital)

i passed out right after i vomited.. and started convulsing, by the time my mom got me to the hospital, i guess i was pretty lifeless, it took them 45 min to figure out that i needed to be medivac to another hospital for emergency brain surgry...

they cut me right side of my skull open to release the pressure that my blood was putting on my brain

they told my parents, that i might not wake up.. and IF i did i would be a vegetable

i was unconscious for 14 days in emergency care and then moved to stable for another 4 days

i woke up 18 days later and said "where is my ducky" (*at the time i had a pet duck)

it took me years of therapy to recover the feeling on my left side of my body.. and random uncontrolled spazem's on my left side

lol hospital bill was like 400,000 something

the 12 min helicopter ride was 75,000


anyway.. Hopefully this man has access to the right doctors... Good luck

having my own children now... I can relate to this pain, No one should have to feel this way or look at there child in this condition



(the kid who hit me.. ended up getting brain cancer years later, some weird rare type.. He ended up living but with some physical issues) # weird situation
