While the whole world is talking about the big GTA 6 leak, one of the biggest scandals in years is taking place on the Twitch streaming platform: the British streamer SuchR (real name Abraham Mohammed, over 430,000 followers) apparently cheated hundreds of fans, friends and other streamers out of their money with a lousy scam for years and thus captured around 300,000 dollars.
We explain to you what exactly happened and why this scam is currently making waves in the Twitch community.
ItsSliker cheats fans and friends out of 300,000 dollars
What happened? Streamer Mikelpee shared a clip of SlikeR video-messaging a viewer asking for money on Sunday. At the same time, he promises to pay back the money within two months.

I hope you don’t hate me for this. It’s so embarrassing and I’m embarrassed for asking my brother please don’t hate me. It shouldn’t be too personal either. My bank account has been blocked. It’s been like this for three or four days now. I asked other people.
On the same day, more and more streamers and fans reported that they received a similar message from SlikeR and sent him five-digit amounts via PayPal due to his alleged financial needs.
Many well-known streamers are among those affected: Among other things, the popular supermarket streamer HAChubby was cheated out of 2,500 dollars. When she found out about the fraud, she was in tears:

The money doesn’t matter. I’m so sad because he didn’t give a fuck about me. I thought he was my friend.
Also justaminx (2 million followers) could not believe that her supposed boyfriend should have used her for her money – whole four times.
But he didn’t just beg his fellow streamers for money: One of his most loyal viewers has SlikeR over 7,000 British pounds send.
There are now heaps of chat logs and video clips on Reddit, in which the streamer sometimes extremely brazenly asks for money that he should never pay back:

SlikeR also cheated a viewer with cancer
The case in which he repeatedly begged a viewer, although she urgently needed every penny herself for treatment in the USA due to cancer, is particularly unscrupulous.
Streamers Mizkif and Hasan were able to link SlikeR and the viewer in a Discord call, in which the victim offered some heartbreaking words to SlikeR:

You asked for my money that I pooled to save my life. And you never intended to pay it back even though I gave you money. And then you ask again for another 10,000 just before my transplant in the US. (…)
Have you ever really been my friend? That’s the only thing I really want to know right now.
SlikeR gambles the money with CS:GO skins and sports betting
Actually, one would think that a big streamer should not have any financial problems. SlikeR probably knew this too, which is why he came up with excuses like blocked bank accounts. In fact, SlikeR is really broke, as he now admitted: According to his own statements, he stole a total of more than 300,000 dollars with his scam and gambled them away in sports betting and gambling with CS:GO skins.

Blessing in disguise: So that the many fraud victims do not have to sit on their losses, the well-known streamers xQc and Ludwig have agreed to compensate for all damage caused by SlikeR.
