Finished a stake and instead of sending me my money back, he got drunk and lost it all. Apologized after I confronted him and said hed pay it back somehow. That was a month ago and now hes ignoring me. Only like 80 bucks but it was my first taste of staking. Dudes name is Cole and he goes to WVU. If anyone knows this guy or has info on him I'd appreciate it, If not, just look out for him.

he has paid me back in full.

ty for handling this with some class.

Sent him $500 to play 25nl, time went by then he finally said he couldn't play much anymore so just shipped me back what was allegedly in the account $253.90. So he had $246.10 in M/U + ($18 of mine I lent him for something else) He was well aware of makeup, etc...he just thought he could say he doesnt want to play anymore and he wouldn't be accountable for losses I guess. Anyways, he seemed like a decent guy when we talked but I guess not one to be trusted with staking stuff.

Sent him $1250 to grind 50nl. First few chops went well. Then he stopped providing email updates and I couldn't get in touch with him. Eventually he acknowledged he scammed me for the original stake and agreed to pay me back in parts when he could. The one and only $300 he sent me was back on Oct 6 and he hasn't responded to emails since.

Damn two months without e-mails and you just posted now? Would have busted him out a long time ago. GL with getting it back, if u want some internet detective work done just PM me and Ill give it a shot when I'm tired of grinding.

while i agree 2 months is too long, i can see it from a specific backers perspective. They want to give the person the opportunity to pay back, and to not ruin their rep before hand.

When someone scams me, i usually give them a few weeks to make good as long as they are in contact. After that I just post in this thread.

oh, did i mention that ghetto_clown on 2p2 is a scammer and has many names and is still supposedly playing games? He also hasnt repaid me my money back, and has acknowledged through PM's that he outright scammed me.

This sentence shouldn't be allowed in life

i agree, but it's going to happen from time to time i guess.

just the nature of the beast.


(beast=staking randoms on the internet)

going to remind people that they can always also let us (mods) know of things that are happening as they happen also even if they are unsure they want to out the person at the time. this allows us to keep an eye on things in the meantime or even spend a few minutes looking things up that may help.
we won't take action against the person specifically for the issue until such time as you feel comfortable with it.

The other thing is that we often can't take action once it comes out in here because 1) we don't see it in a timely manner and 2) it's difficult to keep trying to follow up to get the evidence that will allow us to take action if it's not important enough to the person to contact us.

He is has a bunch of friends who let him use his account

ftp: xxjd32xx, froggiestyles

strars: mpedro28 or something cant remember.

Was staking him for a few months then he ran off with the roll and a bunch of profits he owed me. Stopped coming on aim trying to avoid me and I spoke to someone who knows him and said he is on yahoo messenger. Spoke to him on Yahoo he told me some bs about he logged onto his account and he got robbed for some money and he sent the rest to xxjd32xx and gambled with it to try get even.
Prolly just cashed out the money or w/e.

But yeah I noticed he just started posting for stakes dont stake him imo, should prolly be banned also.

He probably also has a new AIM.

lol so his new aim is wristifor. If you search the staking forum you see him asking for stakes under hunter77361 he will probably change it again or try to make a new 2+2 account once he is banned.

also his stars sn is: MnPeterson28

found here http://forum.parttimepoker.com/showt...86#post3753586, his account is under investigation it says (hasn't logged in since january).. all signs from google-tarding his name/sn's has led me to not trust him (has like 4 forums where he asks for stakes since 2008), should really watch who you stake

2+2 Name: Caliburn
Real Name: Martin Carlson
MSN: Halindir@hotmail.com
Skype: hk.martin
Stars SN: Ace/Caliburn
Stars SN: Alterran

Applied and recieved a stake for 9 man stt's(570 in total, 938 balance at time of incident) using the account Ace/Caliburn which is registered to his fathers name. I find out he's using 2 accounts when he asks to move the stake over to his other account because it is a goldstar and he wants to earn more FPP's (12 days ago).

Says he opened the account in his fathers name when he was 17, but he's 23 now and still using both. Claims to not have supplied the other SN because it was never used for sit and go's, when I got the other name via PM I found it had @880 games played at 1% roi, as opposed to 9% over 2k 9 mans on the account he applied with.

Obv. I try to pull the stake, he refuses over the course of a few long skype chats in which he claims it's unfair, unreasonable, he had plans for the profits and since he's broke he can't allow me to get the cash back but will repay if his account gets locked.

Keeps refusing to send and putting me off, says he's verified both accounts in the mean time and has asked a "cardrunners pro" for his opinion, if he says he should send the money back he will. That was 5 days ago.

Immediately after our initial arguement he blocked both accounts on scope,though he has never given me the second screename, sold T$ from ace/caliburn and is obv playing on Alterran.

Should have caught this in his posting history, he sold T$ off the second account in the MTTC trading thread. Facepalmed when I saw it as I thought I'd been thorough.

Anyways, he's still playing 16's and might still believe he's in the right. He deceived myself and partner to get the stake and refuses to return the funds so as far as I'm concerned it's thieving. I warned him I'd be outing him today, he asked for the weekend but still won't send.

Add to that I can't think of a single honest reason someone needs to use two accounts.

time for some detective work, martin carlson you're a scumbag scammer

Sent user a PM with read receipt.

I've been in touch with Bren on this and I'm convinced he's told the story as it happened at this point.

I believe Caliburn is withholding the funds without justifiable cause. Undisclosed multiple accounts that become not only revealed- but played on and eventually hidden from tracking is clear breach of any agreement they could have had.

Return the funds, including Bren's share of the profit at the time you went off the stake.
That would be amount at the time he told you to ship back while he reconsidered in case you are a little slow on the uptake.

Hopefully a mod could edit this into my post #55, I still have not talked to cubkiller since but I did receive the $100 in my account from him so he no longer owes me any money.

I never intended to hide anything from you, and its true i didnt use the other account for sngs of the format i wanted stake in.
I created my own account when i moved away from home into my own appartment, and by that time i was just playing some 6 max games for fun sometime, and some casgame. I didnt see it important to mention the results since it was not the format or the buy in level i was interested in playing.

And like i told you, i started playing poker when i was underage, i asked my father to help me out and make an account, and he did. I played on it for years and just recently had to make my own account since i dont live at home anymore and have to use my own credit card. And i dont "use" two accounts, the only reason i jumped back to my dads was that i had all my SNG results on it, and i ofc had to apply for stake using the only results i had from 9 handed sngs, like i said i played on that account.

And yes i blocked my account on scope, but i have been available on skype several hours every day, so if u found that a problem you could have told me and i would have unblocked it, i didnt do it for you, i did it since i didnt want someone i play with to scope me.

You make it sound like you did some grand investigation here, and then answerd me back a while later, but all that happend was, i told you i needed the stake to make some money to buy xmas presents, few days into the deal i told you i play on dads acc and wonderd if i should move to my own acc cuz of the goldstar, you ask how much money i got atm, i answer u 900 something, you tell me to send the money to you. I get scared ur trying to end our deal that i badly need since i made arrangements for presents and stuff...
Yes i made plans for the money since we had a deal for 1.000 games, and i honestly cant see why i would not consider the deal going.
Its not like i have run off with ur money, all im asking for is to finish our deal for 1k games. And like i said i emailed stars with photos of my fathers and my credit cards/id cards, and they told me its not a problem. + i told you that in the highly unlikely event something did happen i would ofc repay the full amount lost.

After that you tell me you talked to a moderator and that i should give you money right away or be banned. I told you i would be happy to talk to this moderator but you refuse to give me the name, so i told you i could ask for 2nd opinion from a friend thats a cardrunners instructor, you said ok go ahead. 5 days later i told you he answerd me back and told me he would take a look at it when he can, you complain that hes taking long and i tell you that being an instructor is diffrent from being a forum moderator, and that if u wanted i could pm the moderator you talked to. You said no and said i could msg some random moderator, i told you i would after this weekend if my friend didnt get back to me by then. Next day you tell me that i should send you money or you will out me.

What i always said in this is, i want to continue the deal for 1k games since that was the agreement... I dont see any reason to break it since i didnt hide a **** from you, i didnt find anything not regarding 9 handed sngs relevant so i didnt tell you about accs i dont play them in. I got a svenskaspel account, UB account, prima account etc too, would we break the deal if u "found out" cuz i told you ? Its just unbelivable how ur acting, you didnt find out anything, i told you everything and would answer any question you had if you just asked me.

Ur trying to make it sound like i lie and hide stuff, but in truth the only reason we are having this problem is cuz im telling you everything?

I saved our conversations from skype and ill be happy to show the history for any moderator by using teamwiever or just send the copy phased version.

.

Obv i didnt change my skype name for you, i dont know why you think so, and changing my name from Fragarash to Caliburn and then last time to HK Martin is hardly what i call hiding, hah for god sake when you add me to skype its hk.martin. And obv i changed my location as a joke to my rl friends, since im from south korea like u have seen on my photo.
Well to free you from the "confusion" ill be online on MSN if u want something, i cant even understand you bring this up since im the one that PM'd you AFTER i changed nicks, how the **** did u even consider for a sec i tried to hide when i PM you ?

And like you said, regarding my "multi accounting" people have done this before and its not even close to rare. I dont use two accounts actively, i use one, only reason i moved back to dads was cuz i had all my results from 9 STT's on it, so i obv cant apply for a stake and tell you that my SN is someone that never even played a 9 man STT.

And no, im not broke, im just short on money for xmas presents. Big diffrence here. I could sell my car, tv, computer, withdraw from my savings account or anything if i had to get quick cash, but obv i dont sell my car just to buy xmas gifts.

And well im short on time atm but ill just say one more thing, i did not "lie to get staked", i applied using my 9 handed STT result and if u had asked for my SN's i would obv supply them, i just wrote down what i considerd to be relevant for the 9 STT's i wanted stake in.

You continue to avoid the issue, you're holding onto funds that aren't yours.

If a backer wants to end a deal, and asks for his money back, just send the money back.

its not that hard. quit trying to preserve a backing relationship when there is obv never going to be any trust.

caliburn return the money. IT IS NOT YOURS. No one gives a hoot about you wanting to buy Christmas presents - go get a job. The money is not yours and the backer is pulling the stake you scammer. You should pay him vig on the money for the time you've had it in your possession. Worthless.

caliburn you are 100 percent in the wrong here. return the money already. all of it. not some of it. not some bull**** I'll ask someone i know what he thinks. RETURN THE MONEY.

Obv i would end the deal like he wanted if i could afford it.

Now i cant afford to have him break it, if that makes me a thief then i must have a very diffrent understanding of the word. Keeping the deal we both agreed on does not make someone a scammer/thief.

LOLDONKBETZ, you got some kinda mental problems? Your posts is whats worthless here.

And the money is not mine, but not his either, he invested money in me to play 1k games, obv the money is not his or mine untill the deal is finished and we split, you consider me some kinda bank that you can deposit or withdraw money from at a whim?

If sticking to the original agreement and not wanting to break the deal is a crime here on 2+2, then w/e. Im not gonna change my mind on this.
