Not sure if this warrants it's own thread, but I didn't want to further dilute the backing thread the imposter tried to hijack.
I was obviously interested in staking Albatross if he needed backing because he's a sicko. I send him a PM after he bumps an old staking thread of mine. I've played hundreds of games with him years back when I was starting off and knew he was solid
Anyways:
09:22] AlbatrossSNG: yo
[09:23] me: hey
[09:23] AlbatrossSNG: got your email crazy, we played tons of games together right?
[09:23] me: yea like all the 6.50 9 mans
[09:23] me: when i was starting
[09:23] AlbatrossSNG: crazy...
[09:23] me: anyways it was an old backing thread
[09:23] me: and i dont really back anymore
[09:24] me: but could prob help you out anyways
[09:24] AlbatrossSNG: hm, would be great
[09:24] me: wtf happened
[09:24] AlbatrossSNG: yep and
[09:24] AlbatrossSNG: i did some no intelligent sh*t...
[09:24] AlbatrossSNG: every regular knowed me and my ranges and so on
[09:24] AlbatrossSNG: so i was like... creating 2-3 more accs and grinding with smurf accounts
[09:25] mes: thats not good
[09:25] AlbatrossSNG: transfering money from a to b and so on... and after 3months, pokerstars deleted me
[09:25] mes: you didnt get life banned?
[09:25] AlbatrossSNG: life ban :/
[09:25] AlbatrossSNG: so i only got my FTP acc running, with like 1k roll
[09:26] AlbatrossSNG: thats why i searched for stakings, you know...
[09:26] me: i only back stars =[
[09:26] me: i dont even have FTP on my pc anymore
[09:26] AlbatrossSNG: hmz :/ only got a last smurf account there, that diddnt got ban
[09:26] AlbatrossSNG: but albatross77 is banned..
[09:26] me: yea cant rly put money into smurf account
[09:26] me: in case something happens
[09:26] me: sry
[09:27] Meebo Message: Could not IM buddy

[09:28] Meebo Message: AlbatrossSNG is offline
[09:29] Meebo Message: AlbatrossSNG is online
[09:29] AlbatrossSNG: sorry aim hooked up can you repeat last message
[09:32] me: hey youre an imposter
[09:32] me: im speaking with the real albatross77 atm
[09:32] me: and its probably be in your best interest to stop and get as far away as possible
[09:32] me: from the poker world
[09:32] AlbatrossSNG: iam the real, hes an imposter
[09:33] me: albatross77 isnt even a locked account because i just sent it money
[09:33] AlbatrossSNG: hes lying to you, im currently online
[09:33] me: so just because someone is inactive on 2p2, doesnt mean people are non existent from the poker community

I hope someone can actually get in touch with the real Albatross to get this sorted out. Albatross was always a nice guy at the tables and has a great reputation among all the regs, it's a shame there's a piece of **** like this running around trying to spoil it. So if anyone can actually get in touch with him that would be great, but in the mean time, don't be an idiot.
Albatross77 is a valid, unlocked account which is eligible for real monet transfers, and was playing tournaments as little as 5 days ago. If anyone sees him at the tables point him in this direction. I'll x-post in STTF because someone there might be able to get a hold of him.

Good catch. Seems like identity fraud, but in the poker world. Pretty shady

Thanks for the followup Lipo.
He was also trying to scam(will call it what it looks like) zima and pageh656 last night, and throwing collin moshman's name around to bolster his claims.
He's temp banned because of the multiple threads he spammed/hijacked across multiple forums last night. That will probably turn permanent before the temp is up.

thx for making this thread, hopefully it saves someone less smart than you from losing money to this scamtard.
but, u should have got the name of the smurf account from him so that stars support could watch out or block transfers to that account or something.

meh never mind- I see what you were saying now.
It does however point out that contacting ftp may be in order.
