I can confirm this. This is my story, I am the "friend" that was taking action.

My dealings with Jareth3542

I’m a regular buyer in the 2p2 Marketplace and have bought Jareth’s action on and off for the last little while.

Recently during WCOOP I had a little upswing and more gamble so decided to buy a larger piece of Jareth’s action. Being in different timezones as well as me being in the states for part of the time made it hard to transfer funds daily so I would regularly send round amounts and take 15-50% of a tournament depending on buy in , mark up etc.

Wcoop went and finished and I had no issues with funds. At the start of the OSS series I decided I wanted to fire harder and wanted to take somewhere between 25-50% of the OSS tournaments. He said his backers were taking a small piece because his avg buy in was much lower and I agreed to just take the biggest piece generally and he would sell some % in the 2p2 MP that didn’t get filled between his backers and myself.

He had a score early on in the OSS series and instead of him sending all the funds back directly, I agreed to keep them in the account and just run a tab and when the series finished we would square up.

The series ended and I was owed just over 2k. Was a few days and then Jareth sent me 500 saying he was at an airport/travelling and tired and would send the rest later.

That was back in October.

I’ve had a couple interactions since and have remained fairly patient. I’ve given him multiple opportunities to make this right and to not speak out about it as to not tarnish his reputation and his ability to sell for future tournaments, but I’m heavily involved in crypto and the opportunity cost of not getting paid is increasingly getting higher and it’s just been too long now.

Jareth owes me 1523$. I'm not sure if this went to playing other tournaments that were/weren't on stake, or cashed out , or lost in cash games/tournaments off stake.

We started working with Lucas Aurélio da Silva in January 2017.
BORRAURELIO disappeared around the end of December. After repeated attempts to reach him and get audits etc. Lucas da Silva confessed that he stole our money:



We allowed Lucas Aurélio Silva an additional week to try to get back at least some of the money he stole. After giving a lot of excuses Lucas Aurélio Silva admitted that he wouldn't be able to pay us any amount without us continuing to give him money to keep playing.

Lucas Aurélio Silva owes us $32,150

and

As expected he paid the remaining balance with the agreed schedule. He continues to succeed and is a rare example of a player who earned a spot originally in this thread, but then did what was needed to change his approach to this business.

We congratulate him and wish him continued success in the future.

Totally out of the blue, I just received $$ from him. Cant remember what I was owed, but received $70.

Name: Murilo Gusmão Pinheiro

Murilo built up makeup with us and consistently could not hit the volume we agreed on. We gave many months for him to remedy this but this was never resolved. We eventually agreed on a repayment plan for 50% of makeup.

After making several successful payments, Murilo told us he can't pay anything right now. He is currently backed by another team.

He currently owes us $622.26

Never stake him!

Has he paid u?

Thankful to say I don't post in here much, my scammer/thief record is around the 1-2% mark. I plan on keeping it like that.

So this player was a night mare to deal with. Very lazy, would break rules etc and now he has taken it to another level.

I was told he was playing on other accounts. Multi accounting etc and playing on other sites.

(some may not see a problem with playing on other sites, but when you are pre chopping to help someone with food and rent and you find out they are playing else where with that money, you will have a serious problem with it. He has been doing this for a while now, but it has only come to light recently)

Not to mention multi accounting is just wrong as well.

To get to proof of this I asked to see his screen to look at his stats/HUD. He was fine with that, until I asked to look at his HH via other sites. Then he went crazy and refused and ended the screen share. I was about to see the user names of the other sites he has been using.

His make up is $16,000, he has been breaking my rules and tilting at the table so I end the stake (That way the $16,000 make up gets dumped). Also playing on other sites with my money whilst in $16,000 make up, he succeeded I had to dump him. For me this is maybe not outright theft, but it goes down as a scam and very scummy thing to do. (the guy stayed in a 5 star hotel playing an EPT on me, not to mention loads of other stuff I have done for him. Nice pay back!)

I was also told by by another player that he was getting a friend to play on his account, so he gets to play else where and still get pre chops from me. (this way he can make money else where with no make up, while a friend spews off my money and makes it look like he is getting the volume in)

Avoid at all costs, as make up goes up he becomes a nightmare to work with. To say the least

Pokerstars banned his account recently. I am sure this guy was up to a lot more than the stuff I found out about. But it is very hard to prove it all sometimes.

Name: Stanislav Tehnenko
Stars: futbulle
Party: futbulle

Stan joined us about a week ago. After joining, almost immediately one of our players alerted us that he heard Stan was currently backed by someone else. We spoke with Stan and decided we were uncomfortable staking him unless he provided us with $500 collateral which we would return upon the completion of our agreement. Alternatively he could return the $100 we sent him as a starting bankroll and we'd go our separate ways.

After several days and Stan asking for more and more time to think it over we finally decided we wanted to part ways and would not want to continue even with $500 collateral. We asked Stan to send us back our $100.

It has now been 4.5 days since we told Stan we did not want to continue. Stan continues to play online on Stars and has not sent us our funds.

We don't know if we are/were going to get scammed but all of the flags are there and losing $100 now feels like a win.

Eddie Sherrock from Daventry, UK is a scammer and a thief. He has multiple scams to his name.

Full story is in this thread and this post in particular:

This same guy almost got us again. He applied under a new name, Stars account, sent ID that matched (either stolen or photoshopped). See pics below for these two accounts he submitted to us.

Name: Ionel Negut
Stars: TiberiusA

Left: TiberiusA
Right: Hentasy

Posting this one a bit prematurely but we've had 3 Romanians try to scam us in the past 72 hours so being prudent and posting.

Name: Stefan Codreanu
Stars: 29kidofwar29

After we sent $300 via Neteller he said he needed to verify his account before depositing and sent screenshots of that. He's been playing every day off-stake games while we wait for him to verify his account (not permitted under our agreement).

It's completely possible this is genuine and he does need to verify and he's just playing off-stake games while he waits for this to go through...but after having issues with three other Romanians in the last 72 hours, this seems like it's worth posting immediately.

Brutal.

I've always wondered when people will start to do this stuff.. pretty crazy and theoretically easy to pull off.

Just have POCARR hire me to handle all investigation of every person you guys get, onboarding etc.

I'll fly out immediately hahaha.

Either way, sorry for spam.

Name: Thiago Franco Martins Carvalho
Stars: Sr.FireoNe
888: sr.fireone1
Party: Sr.FireoNe

Thiago had issues with a previous backer. For this reason we required $750 as collateral if he wished to join us. We agreed this would be returned upon the completion of a successful agreement without issue.

Thiago played games with our funds that were not permitted on December 21st. We messaged him, explained this cannot happen again and continued staking him.

On January 18th Thiago played more off-stake games with our funds. We gave one final warning and said this could not happen again.

On February 11th we found Thiago playing more off-stake games with our funds.

We decided to terminate our agreement. We kept the $750 we collected as collateral and asked for a repayment plan of 75% of the makeup to avoid us posting on 2p2 and Brazilian blacklists. Thiago countered with 50% which we were unwilling to accept.

Thiago has said he will not repay us. He owes us $4,863 (this is 75%).

Today Stefan sent us $295 via Neteller. It appears this was indeed legitimate. We'll update again if we have any further issues but without such a post assume that we have zero issues with Stefan.

Tip to Backers:

One of the scams that we've seen more and more of is pretending to own a Stars account from a country that cannot receive p2p transfers.

The Scam:
Find a winning poker player from a country that can't receive player-to-player transfers (Romania for instance).
Apply to stables with this screenname.
Find an ID somehow (try google) from this country.
Use photoshop to edit a Stars cashier to show the fake username and name of the ID you found online.
Submit the cashier + ID that matches the name on account.
Send a somewhat blurry picture of the ID with your face.
Get your funds from backer on Neteller or Skrill.
Cashout-->Titties

How to avoid this:
Create a homegame on PokerStars.eu
Require any new player to join your homegame before you send funds.

This will prove ownership of the account.

Steve scammed me for a pretty significant sum. Ghosted for quite a while now (years actually). Quite difficult to deal with as I considered him a friend but want to make sure he can't do it to anyone else.
