Re Paul Costello

Is it the ex-jockey jersey ?

Not as far as I know, rang me out of the blue and to cut a long story short, lets say does not like paying debts.

sounds like a squirrel, you rem them right?

more like a rat than a squirrel imo..

To the 188 who have looked at this beware, DO NOT GET INVOLVED if approached take a wide berth..

To those of you thinking he has been conned, you are correct, just trying to stop others getting involved

Any advance on the number of people who HAVE BEEN CONTACTED BY THIS CHARACTER, that is my name for him should be a lot worse. but again if contacted do not get involved, you do so at your financial risk..

Any details please?

Sparrow, As mentioned contacted me out of the blue, all sorts of info available bla bla bla, outcome I fell for it not massively but after a good start for him I paid him his winnings, however the he asked me to lay  horses for him. You can guess the rest after losing I asked him for his money and yes STILL WAITING   my fault for being taken in   BEWARE..

How did he get your contact details?

Just wanted to know why we should beware of this person, jersey.  Unfortunately these con artist so called tipsters have been around as long as I can remember and will continue to try and fleece people.

That was my reason for asking glasgow.

Glasgow   Yes  that is correct..

Imperial would not be very happy..

Lets get the views up to the 1000 mark, thanks.

.

Any one been contacted by this GENTLEMAN ???

.. It would help if you enlightened us as to what has happened?

At the moment we are all just surmising.

I wouldn`t put bets on for my twin brother let alone a complete stranger.

Glasgow Calling   I was cold called/ contacted  by this guy, who told me he had tried to contact me the day before when he was going to ask me to put a bet on for him, he showed a winning bet slip which appeared genuine , stamped and timed by a leading UK bookie. Then gave me a free TIP  which won, then proceeded to ask me to put on for him on an odds to service, so I fell for it ant it was going ok sent him winnings and won for myself.  Then he asked to LAY  a horse and that duly got beat, however when he then laid a winner he fell behind, so naturally I asked for the money and he agreed to pay, but still waiting. Some will say my fault and I agree completely, but just a warning to others, this guy lives in Motherwell I believe. DO NOT GET INVOLVED ..

Good morning jerseyboy

For what it’s worth Paul use to post on the forum,around 15 years ago I met him in lanzarote where he was living at the time ,when he moved back to Scotland I saw him at the Scottish national fixture and he came to the festival for a couple of years,it’s probably around 7 years since I last saw him and I know people change,but I didn’t have him down for doing this sort of thing what I do know is he is the most unorganised person I have ever come across and I think you will get paid I know you shouldn’t have to persevere but do ,do

I’m not trying to make excuses for him and I may be wrong but I found him a decent person

Cheers for that Jimnast, a genuine response  ..

I do have a contact who will still be in touch with him ,when I next see him I will bring it up.

Morning, just to put the record straight this is 100% not me.
The only reason I found this is because I had a strange comment on one of my business posts on Facebook and googled the details and found this.
Jerseyboy please feel free to call me on my phone number on the imperial racing website, as soon as you speak to me I’m sure you will realise it was a different person that you spoke to.
The guy you are looking for is also called Paul Costello he has been involved in flat racing for a number of years, I have been mistaken for him before (mainly to do with the buying of horses, this is a new one)  because we have the same name and are Scottish and from what I understand he is not a reputable character.
This is a link to a linked page that I found that was his, I believe he was also involved in some of the bigger flat syndicates over the years.

Jimnast hope you and the family are well that’s for standing up for character mate and for what it’s worth I am a bit more organised now.

This also looks to be the same person.

Good morning Abbott

I’m glad you’ve cleared this up ,family all good including 9 grand children now,don’t know if you plan to go to perth later in the month if so it would be nice to catch up.

Hope your all well

A bit more organised I think the improvement needed was a bit more than a bit

An unexpected turn of events, but at least it's given me an idea for a new episode of...

Good morning George I can never get them links what is it ?

Good morning jimnast, one of the great theme tunes... Tales Of The Unexpected

Good morning abbott, many thanks for your response, it seems I have been well taken in, but all my own fault and no one else to blame.  I will stop posting now I hope this has not caused you any distress. At the end of the day it will not change my life.  be lucky..

Yes I do remember that George very catchy.

Well done jersey

Jerseyboy
I totally understand how you must have felt, I was just shocked today when I saw the post on Facebook. It's really frustrating that people think this is me but I am not sure what I can do. Hopefully anybody else that has been called by him will see this post and realise he's not to be trusted.

Jimnast, wow 9 gran kids that's amazing, you must have your hands full. Would be great to get a catch up next time we are both on course, I haven't been as involved in racing as much the last few years as Charlene and I started our own business and its been taking up so much of our time. Crazily I haven't actually been on track since last season's Scottish National meeting.

That would be good Abbott give our best wishes to charlene.

I have know Paul Costello for over 15 years, the 1 that does the Cheltenham previews and is involved with Imperial racing, I can say for sure he would definitely not be the person involved here, He is an honest guy, it's very bad luck to have the same name as someone in Glasgow also involved in horse racing.

Abbott

How unlucky are you that this guys got the same name?!

As other posters have already stated,the  infamous Paul Costello ,is nothing like the poster on here

Did make me laugh tho mate

surely you would check you had the right guy before posting.

.

I thought this incident had all been over and done with, why has it been brought up again ???
