Shane...this has to be one of the best opportunities for you.

I messaged you before, and still no reply. Dec1 and myself contacted Lock security to get NCSU Wolfpack (ISUCKPP) 's account closed. Since no Lock funds were actually transferred, they haven't so far. He has scammed Dec1 and myself for over $600. Maybe you can help them out with this or contact me.

Benjamin(NCSU Wolfpack) is banned here. This should be a great opportunity to show that Lock is ready and willing to do what it can. I get that a lot of questions cannot be answered, but this is one that can help out. I have given Lock many suggestions, hopefully this circumstance won't go to waste as well. I mean really I can't think of a better circumstance for you then this...the person originally questioning you in this thread is a scammer. This seems like the perfect time to jump on board and act out. I know you are a person and have your own life going on, and for the most part, it must be hard coming on here and dealing with a million questions. However, this is like finding a needle in a haystack for you and you should act out with everything you can. A rare opportunity to do nothing but good.

I would totally jump on your cause if it wasn't for that red ****ing type

why are you writing in red

Noticed the red got removed but didn't see a response & was curious. If you pm'd him one 'cause of need to keep private, I guess that would make sense. Only curious because of the forum mod of mods directed all of us to contact any appropriate security depts of scams.

Yea they won't help. I tried they care less.

In the trading thread Xsjado posted that the alleged scammer has promised payment this Friday.

I was scammed by "hacked" user zamees for $3k. Lock security, of course, refuses to do anything about it. Is there anything more I can do Shane?

If you email me your details i can look into it.

Please include the username of zamees account, I didnt find an account that had received trades with that username.

Ya, but I posted that long after you took down the red colour/bold and didn't say anything. Hopefully things work out with NCSU on Friday. Was it really necessary to take down the red colour and not at least message me saying " I will look into this" or something? I put it that way to boldly show that the original thread owner has been banned and scammed through Lock. I thought it would be a good opportunity for you. It would also look better for Security if you were able to confirm what I was telling them, and that he was banned here, he stated that was his Lock name etc...I really just don't see much of a reason for that. I thought it was fairly justified why I wanted it to stand out a little. How often do people start threads on here and pose all these questions to you, and then go and scam on Lock?

Anyways, it's over with, and he has said he will pay me back on Friday now so hopefully that will be the end of it. It's possible that post might of helped put him in the right direction to contact me and work things out/update me and restore a better reputation for him.

Xs, don't blame others for your terrible and annoying decision to post in all red. That's nice that you had logic...but it was still bad logic. Don't do that again.

OK, those are just words. What accounting firm has reviewed your financials and certified that you hold a segregated account that covers 100% of customer deposits?

+1

What's wrong with writing in a diff color? If thats against the rules why can the software allow it?

It's just annoying as hell to read is all and a huge +++++11111 to fatalerror's question

its up to the country or company granting the license to make sure funds are segregated. As long as they are licensed the funds should be segregated, but we all know how well that worked for Full Tilt, but that is how it works.

Lock Poker has been caught claiming to be licensed by a company that it was not licensed by. So that's not gonna fly. They should be having their books reviewed by auditors anyways so Shane should be able to provide us with a major accounting firm that can independently confirm that the money is indeed segregated.

Right shane?

Actually no we weren't. As we stated at the time of that incident the logo that was on our site was given to us by Merge Gaming, our software provider at the time, to display. They were of the understanding that at that time we were in the stage where all rooms could display the logo, it turned out that was not the case. Soon after this was resolved with no further work from us, so either LGA decided they already had everything they needed or Merge completed more work. Very little information came back to me, all I know is we had nothing more to do and it was all fine.

As for the audit, which major accounting firm do you suggest we use, an American one? Can you not see the problems this would create? We arent exactly interested in giving a roadmap to all our players funds to a 3rd party where it could end up in the wrong hands. As we have seen recently when player funds are confiscated they arent returned very quickly if at all.

This is just so wrong and so hysterical. Shanes response to this was perfect.

The software also allows you to post in all caps, but that doesn't mean everyone wants to see a bunch of posts in all caps. You may notice that among all the different formatting buttons available to you, colour isn't one of them, likely because people find it annoying.

Oh, okay. Yeah, I see that posting now. Ya'all probably waiting to see if he makes good on the restitution. I think they do something similar on this forum too; like temp-ban in case it was just a slip up or mistake or something, and then either make it permanent or reinstate. There was another one like last week or so, jvclements or something like that, that got temp-banned and then re-instated here after paying the guy like the next week or something.

Hopefully it'll all get worked out, no real need to respond to this one; guess we'll see shortly one way or the other any hoots, lol. Thx for answering the other though.

Cheers,
John

When these situations are brought to our attention we instantly hold accounts while we investigate.

If its clear cut and we have proof the account is switched to banned.

If its not clear cut we are happy to work with the player and unhold their account so they can make good and repay the funds. This gives players who have been defrauded a great opportunity to recover funds that might not be possible if we just ban all accounts.

So what you're saying is that the funds are segregated but the only proof of this is that shane from lock poker says they are? How is this any different then not having segregated funds?

Are you implying that there are no reputable accounting firms in the whole of Europe that could examine your books without concerns that they would turn them over to someone to steal from you? Is your defense here that you are operating a criminal enterprise and can't trust anyone to review your financials so we should just take your word for it.

Geez, c'mon man, give it a rest. Almost everything you post lately is very negative and quite frankly a tad ridiculous. If nothing else, when you claim the 2d (you being 1st obviously, at least currently) biggest Lock basher on the forum should have his IP traced because he must be an employee, you lose huge amounts of credibility in believing even your less than idiotic assumptions. Just be an ignorant fool like the majority of all other know-it-alls here (myself included) or take your business elsewhere. I'm getting tired of my inbox filling up with links to a forum I truly enjoy only to see yet again another negative rant put up by exactly the same person time after time after time.

Winning, Bovada, Merge & Chico all except Americans still. Patronize them if this one sucks so bad.

How can you say this? These quotes are solely from the last page of the non-us player thread:

Hrmm feels o so familiar to a certain everleaf skin ganking loot whilst replying with encouraging replys of faster withdraws.
