In My lock account was hacked for over 100k thread, this user claims some type of hacking, injected with virus, maybe why this email was used ?????? or....

So it can be inferred the guy involved with this attempted scam trade is the same guy involved in 100K Thread....If you clicked on any links this guy sent you, take immediate corrective action.

Other option is it also could be shbball7 is the actual person involved.

Of course he scammed you.

He signed up 2 days ago making 3 posts.

Why the hell would you send him money?

Did you even glance at the WARNING stickies in the GC thread?

What was his AIM addy?

You mention Philly - the most active serial scammer Steve Garrett, aka fatboy, is from Pennsylvania and likely the one who scammed you.

Been said a million times in here....if you are communicating through email (and/or Skype, Ims) instead of some kind of confirmation in PMs you are asking to have your money stolen. Just turn off your email contact button if you can not control trades otherwise.

This is how the most of the scams are getting through now since the Mods are tight on thread communication and rules.

Several people (or the same person) have impersonated Director.

I would be ok trading with a someone with their own thread in the marketplace.

People with own threads do not communicate via email, they communicate via PM. That is why rules explicitly state you can not trade on site without PMs

On greendot's website it says : If You Believe You may be a Victim of Fraud:

Call 1-800-GREEN DOT. Have your MoneyPak and receipt for reference.
Contact your local police department.

Not sure if anything can be done but maybe they can pin down where these packs you have been scammed out of are being used.

Did you ask him to post in his thread as was suggested earlier?
Did you read the mimic account warning sticky?

"Director" was banned a month ago
.DIRECTOR just before that.

How was the name spelled with punctuations in the email that you received?


Nevermind - it was 'Director' - just banned him.

Admin has told me they can not stop punctuation in account names. We usually do a good job getting people to follow the rules and advice to avoid getting scammed but it doesn't work with everybody.

Was a good horse for quite some time and I even advanced him money a few times. He recently cashed out the money from the stake and disappeared. After multiple attempts to collect I believe this is the only avenue. Will is unfortunately a SCAMMER!
William contacted me and has made things right. Although he made this mistake in the past I truly believe now that he had the intentions of making things right when he was in a position to do so. Keeping an open line of communication with your backer and working things out in difficult times is important and I think William has learned this lesson.

Stakee played games outside of contract, busted his account, and dropped out of contact. The amount owing is $245.91

Previous to this he was hardworking, playing a lot of hands and always trying to improve his game, and even offered to deposit his own money to make up for what he had lost when he was down a few buyins. Hopefully this good character was genuine and we can resolve the problem.

Brighton32 on Pokerstars scammed me for $2380


I cant condone this, so Backers beware.

also his 'brother' 18jackm on pokerstars scammed me as well, but for a much smaller amount which makes it okay???

Brighton32 (brighton24 on 2p2 atm) finished 4th/9350 in the big11 on Friday September 28th. Since then i have not heard from him, the money was not shipped to me, he hasnt responded to msgs, but has been playing today. He also briefly logged into Skype today to delete me from his contacts. That was our main mode of communication, but also on 2p2.

We have a pretty standard staking agreement: I stake, he plays, we split 50/50 profits after Makeup, that was it. I always sent funds promptly, and he sent me back twice when he made profits ($800 and $400). But when he won $4k+ in the big11 this is when he scammed me.

So maybe its a lesson in general.
Maybe most stakees have a plan to wait for the big-score and then run off with the 'last laugh?'.. idunno, but im thinkin of revampin how i run my staking business, thats for sure

I will edit this post if i end up receiving all/some of my $

Finalsback is a scammer

Pokerstars : Finalsback - Batman avatar

cut a long story short, i met 'serigo aka finalsback' on here after he applied for micro staking. my friend and i decided to back him for micros aswell as offering him SNG help. sent him a 60$ to play 1$ sngs, he originally claimed he could multi table but struggled with more than 3 tables but we decided to give him a chance. 2days later after playing aprox 15 games total he decided to not come on skype for awhile, after sending him 3 or 4 messages he finally appeared on skype and told me he decided to play PLO cash because he had lost a few buyins and wanted to make the money back - but ended up losing it all.

guy is a waste of space,

below is his skype details, (obv he can make a new account but think its worth putting out there anyway, also his 'sorry' 2plus2 inbox message to me.



pls click above link to enlarge,






ive seen him recently applying for more stakes so backers should be made aware , anything i need to include but havent, let me no i will add

thanks

this is a warning to anyone he may approach ripped me off for about a grand. After an agreement of staking him for 15-60$ non turbos with set rules he decided he was super sick and didn't have to table select and tried rake back grinding which i was not getting any % of his rake back he ended up losing and i told him to grind 15s until he got back out of makeup in which time our deal was about to end.

He then stated that the staking was for whatever he wanted to play and told me if i wasn't going to continuously fill him for games he wouldnt table select and couldnt beat he was not going to pay back his makeup.

He recently ive heard has been looking for a new stake just letting everyone know

Got staked by us and recieved coaching for 2/180 man up to 8/180s.
Didnt care really. Didnt give us updates about his account or weekly reports on time ever and played games outside of contract without telling us.

Do not stake

2p2 name- PattyPawn

Pat was a horse for a long time. Was in a downswing and began to methodically cashout small amounts for himself until an audit was requested. Has admitted to stealing $2800 out of his account. Has a makeup number of approximately 9k in addition to this. I've asked him to make an offer of a buyout on the makeup and begin repayments. He sent ~$450 that was left of our backing funds in the account. He since claims he borrowed money from a friend to continue playing. I feel he's a threat to seek out backing as a means of repayment so I want to notify the community. I have told him if I see him playing again I will begin outing him. He was playing 180's today. I feel any money in his account should be sent to me and not to be used to continue playing ofc. Hopefully this post will serve to show Pat the severity of the situation. Next step will be to make a website in his honor and notify family and friends of his lies, deceit, and theft.

To Pat directly- I warned you not to play another hand of poker while you owe me money. Stop testing me. This will only get worse.

I was looking for the chance in poker, the financial security that allowed me to play on pokerstars without the added pressure of losing my very small bankroll. K_2 posted on 2p2 that he was interested in staking someone and I mailed him and volunteered for the role, after a couple of chats and a trial run that included a 3rd place, we decided to give the backing a proper go which was good for me and helpful with K_2's support. All was going well, money was sent quick, truthfully & the correct amount. I then was staked in the big $11 by K2 and had a deep run finishing 4th, for a figure of money I had never even almost seen before let alone had in my account. I had been drinking that evening with a friend as it helps with the 12 hours+ session that is ahead of me, we then finished the session with a really healthy profit, K_2 was happy, I was feeling good then I made the biggest mistake ever, I told K2 I was going to bed as I was tired, it was 7am my time and I have been awake nearly 24 hours, I said goodnight and told him I'd transfer the money immediately now if not in the morning. I then was told that I had reached my transfer limit and I had to wait a certain amount of time before I could send the money, so I panicked and logged off without telling K2 and i'll openly admit, carried on the next day as usual wthout sending K2 his half of the winnings. I since then haven't slept, has been a bad time for me as K2 gave me a chance that I'd never had before, he complimented me well, had high hopes for me but then I blew it massively and to say that I am sorry to him is an understatement. So Sat, Sun, Mon & Tues went by before I decided enough was enough and got in touch with K2 this evening. I have since had the money ready to send back to K2 in full and would be more than willing to do anything possible to make up for my mistake. It is not like me and I have never done this before. Anyone who has dealt with me before can honestly say that too.

-------------------------

After he contacted me on skype the chat was professional and sincere imo.
When someone takes ownership of a mistake i cant be negative.

Once David completes the agreement and sends payment i consider this a
hard lesson learned for him and expect his future to be much Brighton
cross post from his thread

will update if agreement is completed
