Justin Credible Responds to Accusations of Scamming Fans and Promoters – Former ECW wrestler Justin Credible has addressed accusations from fans and promoters who have claimed he scammed them by taking money for merchandise orders or appearances and failing to deliver. Credible, real name Peter Polaco, opened up about these allegations during an interview with Maven on Maven’s YouTube channel.
During the conversation, Credible admitted that there were situations where fans and promoters did not receive what they paid for but insisted there was no malicious intent behind the incidents. According to him, the circumstances were a result of poor financial management and personal struggles, not an organized effort to defraud anyone.
“Did it happen? Yeah, it did happen. And this is what gets me crazy, and this is why people got blocked,” Credible explained. “There was never any scam, not one. I swear on my children, and I would never say that lightly. I did all that stuff with the best intentions. But what happened was I’d sell merchandise, like $40 items, but by the time Cash App fees came out, it would be $37. Then I’d use some of that money to buy food or essentials, and I wouldn’t have enough left to ship the orders.”
Credible acknowledged that he was not prepared to handle the business side of selling merchandise directly to fans. He also claimed that many fans escalated the situation online without trying to work things out privately.
“A lot of these people started talking online, but they didn’t post the full story. I’ve even given some of them my phone number to call me directly and work it out — no one ever did,” he added.
The ECW alum also responded to complaints about missing podcasts, interviews, and wrestling bookings. He admitted there were isolated incidents of no-shows but argued they were never intentional.
“There may have been one or two times when something happened, but people went online and assumed I was screwing them over. Promoters have stiffed me too. I’ve worked shows, done matches, and was owed $500, and I didn’t go online to trash anyone.”
Credible took full responsibility for his missteps, stating that he felt ashamed about the situation.
“Could I have done things better? Of course. Do I feel bad? Yes. People didn’t deserve that. But this wasn’t a big scam operation. If I made $300 or $400 and didn’t send merchandise, that’s a lot — and I’m willing to work it out. If anyone wants to reach out, my email is PolacoPeter703@gmail.com. I don’t have cash now, but we’ll figure something out.”
He closed by emphasizing that he’s not a bad person and doesn’t want to be remembered as a scammer.
“I’ve made mistakes I’m not proud of, but I’m not a bad person. The word ‘scam’ hurts me because that was never the intention. I was just trying to provide for my wife and kids.”
