Staked for MTT but he left to take a job, then changed and wanted to come back whilst working. I didn’t believe this was sustainable long term so I asked for the bankrolls back only to have delays and he eventually admitted taking them.
He has vowed to pay them back. Still in regular contact, not hiding or running away, but has skipped a few promises of payment so far.

Will update once clear.

Guy added me on Skype after seeing my thread on here, pretending he wanted to purchase coaching. Said he was gonna send on Neteller:

[21-2-2017 7:51:30] xxx: hey isaac, did you manage to send the payment?
[21-2-2017 14:02:22] isaac amezcua: Neteller didn't work. I'm gonna try paypal. Just need full name, country and email address.
[21-2-2017 14:10:27] xxx: for PayPal you only need an emailadres?
[21-2-2017 14:11:29] isaac amezcua: It asked for first name, last, country and email address. But if you don't trust me I understand.

Blocked me after I didn't answer immediately. Poor attempt at hacking Paypal account I guess.

Uh, don't do this. Why would you remove the post? Scammers will use removal as a negotiation tool and pay to make it go away only after being outed. It's a freeroll and puts others at risk.


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

If the people scammed don't remove the post, there's zero incentive for the scammers to ever pay the money back. Those that scam have to have a reason to pay the money back and having your information up on the internet is good incentive for that.

Joined us 24/02/17 played 78 games and profited $255. Didn't message to chop profit, chased on 27/02/17 and says he's back in Kosovo because his dad's ill. He can't access Pokerstars there so questioned why he didnt send chop and roll back before leaving and hasn't responded. If genuine then will update when all is good.

Owes: $127.50 profit + $100 roll.

Hi everyone, i was staked my Bankroll Supply for January and part of February. Was then dropped on the 12th. Was told my profit split would be sent at the end of the month. Today i requested running total to see where i was at. Here it is.



So i cashed 832 on my final tournament played with the stable, they sweep the total but on the 13th you can see that they took 50% of that. The entire 832 should be going towards makeup instead they took took 50% of that. So this shows that if I were to win 20k then they would take 50% of that, then i am given 50% of 10k. Makes no sense, seems a bit scam-like. This stable is run by Paul Jackson, all satellites on partypoker have numerous stable players playing on them. Numerous is an understatement. They also have access to your accounts. These are the emails i received.





They are saying i was given tokens to play these satellites. Not the case. Half of what i win is automatically taken out and i get 50% of that. There's a stable army that infiltrate all the satellites on partypoker. Will update.

Signed him in February of 2016, about a month into his deal he had a decent score and because he was in a country that didn't allow p2p transfers, he was going to send back our cut on Skrill. The following morning, he informed us that his Stars + Skrill had been hacked and he didn't have the money. A long investigation followed which ultimately didn't 'solve' anything (i.e. I can't be 100% sure he didn't outright take the money) but he agreed to pay back the $3150 that was owed.

Months passed and there was no movement on the debt. I was friendly with a friend of his/fellow Spin reg who vouched for him, so I was rather lenient. I even presented the idea of bringing him back into the group to continue our previous staking agreement but he declined. Believe he found a different stake and/or was playing micros on his own. I agreed to give him time to come up with the necessary funds.

More months went by without any communication. Our mutual friend has told me that he's not able to play nor pay back, and that plus the ignoring of multiple messages leaves me no choice. Esbjornn has sold several packs on 2p2 in the past, highly advise anyone to avoid them as he appears to have no intention of making good on his debt.

Posting a full ID shouldnt ever be done and clearly not for $100 that has been taken. I strongly suggest the forumadmins to take proper action against these posts, cause 2+2 directly facilitates 'crimes' (yes these are actually crimes within the meaning of the law) that forummembers commit.

You must realize there is a great difference between a civil disagreement (guy keeping money they shouldnt according to contracts)
and an act (read crime) punishable by law (posting ID's of ppl).

In regards to my previous post regarding Bankroll Supply, I received this reply today



Full balance was paid out, if mods could remove my posts id really appreciate that. Thanks everyone.

Just wanted to update that BigBloom looked me up out of the blue and sent me funds. Nothing more is owed to me.

kamikase1805 has been playing for us from June 2016. He sent us this message today (edited for brevity):


[10:30:28 AM] Guilherme - kamikase1805: Hello Pavel! It's very embarrassment I come to inform you that I made a cashout. They shut down my light and water here at home for lack of payment, I'm in a bad financial situation, I'm trying to raise the money to return it, but I still haven't succeeded, I'm going to do some jobs as a waiter here in my town to see if that's how much before, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but as I had already asked for that loan and took me to pay him I thought you were going to deny me this time. The aggravation of the situation is that my sister-in-law was on vacation here at home when they turned off the water and the electric power, my wife was furious and embarrassed, so I was in a terrible situation.

Kamkikase1805 owes us ~$4,300.

He's agreed to repay:

$525 by Friday, March 10, 2017

$2k by March 31, 2017

The remainder by April 30, 2017

If he fails to meet these deadlines we will be posting the remainder of his information.

If you have any questions, please PM us.

SN- look at me now

Said he had plenty of successful trades in the hsnl group.

I saw he had posted on here since 2012 account...

Scammed me out of $235

I went first and he never sent and stopped responding.

Considering this feedback, i spoke with OP before decide to stake this player, in the end of November 2016.

Until the end of 2016, when the Czech Republic close the poker market for several weeks, the things was going ok, not great, but ok.

In the begining of January he told me that the poker market was close in there country and that will open soon.

I asked him to send the funds he had, around 1.1k§ and he told me it wasnt available, but the regulation should be very fast, only 1 or 2 weeks.

During the month of January i asked him, several times, to send the money back, cause didnt make any sense Stars put close the poker to the players and dont let them take out the funds.

I asked audit history during that perido, and he took a lot of time to send it.

In the end of January Czech Republic get the license and in 5 Febrruary he wrote this:

"i cashout 800 2 weeks ago and took money on school in few next days ill deposit back 800 and give u back on account its simple now im going every days to work was out of prague and earning money to send u back i hope till friday would be everything back ... im working in my dad now so not at prague at all
no worries please
i have now around 650 euro
if i go count to euros
just give me chance to send u back..."

He told he will pay me back until the end of the week... ofc he didnt.

During the next days will deposit at Stars, paysafecard, Skrill, and always apear a problem.

After i push him with a report in several poker foruns, he wrote this:

"yea u can report me everywhere where u want... im waiting for new passport cuz i lost it and dont have second ID pass. so it take like week or smth but its up to u.. if u write me u could say goodbye with ur money cuz its unfair..
write u in the evening not at home"

Today a new update:

"ok mate.. i found finally new staking in czech republic one guy.. he will stake me on live game and im travelling to slovakia on online.. ill send u money by payment 100e per week first payment would be next week. cuz i neeed pay my flat there etc.. if ill hit smth on stars ill report u and will give u my half from staking
cuz i know i finished in ur group
so i found somebdy new maybe he will pay out
that prize
ill ask him
i think this is the best solution"

I told him i will report him and he told me if i do that, he will not pay me back.

If the future back read this, dont invest on him, caue almost for sure you will get problems.

He owe the 1.1k$ he took + 3.7K$ MU.

If he start payng me back, i will update here.

As I was making a contract for this player I noticed we had an older one from 2 months with him. I had a screenshot from him with the #1Sandrik cashier from Stars which has negative feedback on 2p2. We retracted our offer.

This same guy applied with a new PokerStars screenname (listed above).

Information:

We started staking Dai in August 2016 at 10NL. Everything went well and Dai was a model stakee. He plugged in to our skype group and we gave him hours of coaching. Dai went from 10NL to 50NL fairly quickly and we also staked him for live poker games.

In December, Dai told us that he was moving to Vietnam for a few months. We gave him a personal loan of $350 right before he left. He dropped out of contact about a week before he left for Vietnam and we have not heard from him since. This negative feedback post is disappointing because of how much coaching and help we gave Dai and then he disappeared. We know that Dai has internet due to some other activity on other sites and we have sent him multiple emails / skype messages. Until he contacts us, the total amount he has stolen = $1600 bankroll and also $350 loan.

SCAMMER ALERT

Name: Gabriel Munteanu
Screen name: GamblingLust
Country: Romania
City: Cluj Napoca

Gabriel Munteanu has stolen $600 of make up from me

Backstory:

Gabriel Munteanu applied to be staked by me for spin and goes.

I had a couple of red flags at the start of my deal with Gabriel, Gabriel claimed he was a coach for Pocarr staking and that he had decided to leave the stake, when I went to a Pocarr rep I was then told Gabriel had no history whatsoever as a coach and had in fact been dropped by for lack of volume and study rather than quitting. Here are the chats to show that:

Boone: well he said he was a coach for u guys
Boone: but i cudnt see him listed
Boone: and is he still coaching?
Grant Dorey: That is wrong. He is not a coach for us and never was a coach for us.
Boone: mmm ok thanks for this imformation very strange he would claim that

Boone: i spoke to your reference
Gabriel Munteanu: ok ?
Boone: he is saying some things that contradict u
Gabriel Munteanu: like ?
Boone: well firstly he firstly he said that they cut u not that u left and secondly he said u are not a coach and never have been

Gabriel Munteanu: They right but also wrong , I did some 1-3 peer sessions for coaching and did very well , and the coaching part was more of a start for me as I was going to do this with my friend andreiuc. the fact they cut me was pretty bad because I did had some isues for 2 weeks and this wasn't in their interest, I explayed but seemed this wasn't enough. I did put the volume requirements but seems it wasn't enough. But besides this there weren't any other problems. I more surely the thing came up as I requested a raise in limits .
Gabriel Munteanu: i'm not a diferent person than the one you have talked to several times and you took a look at my mindset of game and personal life and my goals in life. but this thing is a slap in the face to speak the thruth and althought its embaresing and would close doors in the face would give me selfrespect because in the end the only one i'm lying is me.

Gabriel Munteanu: the only things i lied were things to put me in a better image, not money scammer or other things.

He then owned up to the lie and claimed he did it to try and get a better deal from me. I decided since he did not actually scam Pocaar and owned up to the lie, although only after I found out about it for myself, I would give him a chance. This turned out to be a huge mistake. Almost straight away he was complaining about things, constantly whining on about how bad he ran even he had hardly put in any volume. He never once met the agreed upon volume and yet constantly asked me about moving up stakes. Then after one month he came to me saying that he was broke and needed money for rent even though he had clearly told me at the start of the deal he had a good money cushion and would not get into spots like this. His solution to him being broke: move him up stakes so he can have a chance to make more money, even though at this point he was in mu, had made a grand total of zero profit splits and was not putting in the volume we had agreed upon. This lead to us having over an hour long Skype call in which I tried to give him advice on spending and living cheaper. Unfortunately, as was always the case with Gabriel, it fell upon deaf ears. Gabriel is just extremely stubborn, he refuses to accept his is ever wrong which makes him very difficult to coach and to work with. The guy has very unrealistic ideas about his own ability and talks like he is some crusher one minute but then the next he is telling me how he runs bad all the time and can´t win. The guy was dropped from Pocarr, complains endlessly about bad beats, and puts in very little volume, but in his own mind he seems to see himself as a top level player. I tried very hard to get through to him but his ego just seemed to get worse and worse along with his volume.

After not grinding for over a week and coming to me with a bunch of excuses once again he then messages me saying he wants to move up stakes despite having played about 4.5k spins since the deal began over 2 month ago when the agreed upon minimum volume was 5000 spins per month. In addition he had previously told me was having financial issues and was possibly going to have to get a job and grind part time. Combine this with his poor mindset and lack of results it seemed ridiculous he would even bring up going up in stakes at this stage. Even after all this I still took the time to once again write out a long message explaining what he can do to move up very clearly. He then messages me a few hours later saying he does not think I am being fair etc. As this was now about the 5th time having this conversation with him and given that he is making very little effort with the stake on top of everything else. I told him if he thinks he can get a better deal elsewhere he may buy out. I gave him two simple options: 1. buy out of the deal for a percent of the agreed upon profit requirement 2. Stop whining and honor the deal. After this he went on another rant blaming me for his failures under the deal at which point I decided he is clearly not someone I can trust and requested he send back all the money in his account minus 100usd which he can use for bankroll, with the plan to just reload him whenever he busts. He responded to my request to send the money back to me further ranting calling me paranoid, calling my ethics into question and insulting me. After his initial refusal to do as aasked and after I threatened to post about him scamming me he sent the money back. At this point, he told me he would have to get a job and we agreed that since he was already doing very badly and not meeting the agreed upon volume requirement that the best option would be for him to not grind but rather pay back the make up from his wages. I told him I would be happy to give him a reasonable amount of time to fix repayment. Initially Gabriel offered to send back all the mu at the end of March. I told him I would prefer him to make payments sooner than that and we agreed he would make small monthly payments, iirc 20$ a month. When it came time for him to pay up he came out with a bunch of excuses once again and I received nothing. History repeated itself the next month. I came to Gabriel this month to ask about him making some repayments, He replied to me asking to be staked again to play 2.5$ 180 mans. I explained patiently to him that since he had not grinded or studied for several months, had lied to me multiple times, had made no effort to meet repayments, and had been telling me he had no money, to the point where he couldn't even afford to send me 10$ to show he even intended to make things right, I would not be in any hurry to send him more money to spew off. I also inquired how exactly he could support himself while playing poker again full time for me and yet he couldn't use that money to repay me instead he said ''thats my problems''. From the conversation I gathered he had either lost or quit his job and had no money to support himself (always hard to tell with Gabriel since he constantly lies about things) and simply wanted me to send him more money to either try to gamble with or just plain steal from me. He had no plan or answer as to what he will do if he didn't make profit and so it is ludicrous he would expect me to send him more under those circumstances. I requested once again Gabriel repay at least one third of what he owes but he once again refused and I told him I now feel I have no choice but to post.

Gabriel Munteanu is a scammer and a thief. He is very hard to work with due to his arrogance, unrealistic attitude, lack of volume, constant whining, dishonestly, stubbornness and absolute refusal to take responsibility for his own actions. He has payed back none of the mu so far and continues to come out with excuses not to send back the owed money and has not honored the agreed upon terms of the contract. At this point it seems unlikely I will ever see the money again but at least I can warn others about Gabriel. I will update if he ever repays.

He owes me $600 in make up.

Name: Ivan Barros
Stars: Ivan Barros

After having problems with him before we gave him another chance. After several months we mutually agreed he could not fulfill the required volume/study that is needed of a professional poker player.

We set up a repayment plan and after 1 month, we never heard from Ivan again. He does not reply to Skype/Email messages and owes us $2780.

Name: Chris Jones
Stars: Fishingch621

Similar to Ivan above, we were trying something new with giving 2nd chances to guys who had stolen from us. Chris was one of those.

After several months we mutually agreed he too could not fulfill the necessary study requirements of being a professional poker player. We agreed on a fair repayment plan that he was able to do of $300/mo. The date for the first repayment came and went and he does not reply to Skype/Email messages.

Chris owes us $5835.24. This includes a loan that we gave him even after stealing from us in the past.

donno guys, i'm all positive about redemption, but some of these individuals seem to have a chronical problem and 2nd chances just gives them another opportunity to do something stupid again.

kudos to you though for trying to get them back on track
