Mark Thompson, a former football player for the Florida Gators, is charged with luring “many” people into believing
he is selling his equipment. Still, some of the equipment is said to have never arrived.
It is not a good look for the 29-year-old running back for the Houston Roughnecks, if it is true.
Dave, of Dave’s Freshly Used, made his accusations public a short while ago. He owns an internet business
specializing in antique University of Florida apparel and memorabilia, and he alleges that Thompson’s dishonest
actions hurt him.
Mark Thompson, a former football player for the Florida Gators, conned me and a lot of other individuals. Not all of
my money was returned, but I was lucky enough to retrieve some, while others lost several hundred dollars. Nothing
in this world is more hated by me than a thief. Thompson said on X that he will be selling a number of his vintage
items in late January.
Dave contacted him and sent him $570 initially, then another $160. Sadly, he claims that Thompson failed to supply
the goods in exchange for money.
After learning of the purported scam, the internet reseller was reimbursed $570 because he had wired the money via
PayPal, but he still owes $160. It seems like Thompson is not giving the money back to the individuals who provided
him money in exchange for his goods.
Additionally, Dave shared screenshots from his chat with Thompson’s official account, X—@InMarkWeTrust. They
first appeared on January 22.
It appears that the running back consented to take $550 for the sale of a pair of gloves and one of his jerseys. Then,
for twenty more bucks, he included a pair of socks.
Because he “had some issues in the past with not so honest players,” Dave was hesitant to proceed with the deal, but
Thompson made sure it was legitimate. Afterwards, they made a second trip around to buy a hat and a pair of “green
swamp pants.” The Cash App was used for the second transaction.
That happened on January 28. As of March 15, Dave says the equipment still hasn’t arrived. According to him, those
that used Thompson have likewise not received the items they believed they had purchased.
Thompson wrote about packages being sent out twice in January, however he hasn’t responded to these accusations
yet. January 27th was the first one.
An apology for the delay on January 30 was the second.
On February 7, Florida Gators reporter Nick de la Torre cautioned about Thompson. In response, a fan stated that
his order had come without any issues.
On the eighth, Thompson provided a response. He uploaded a picture of a package once more.
