most of the other claims b4 craigggo seemed to be by hustlers but this last one the staker do seem to be completely right and craigggo is trying to squeeze every last dime out of his first winning run at poker in a while

Was the 900$ in the written contract?

2+2 Name: FitOrRaise (old) / Krinder (new)

Agreed to buyout his make-up a few months back and send payments starting June 1st. No contact since. Very difficult individual to deal with, was very rude every time we tried to run account checks. Avoid individual.

We had an agreement for HUSNG's in which he played above the buy-ins we agreed upon. After speaking with him he agreed to buyout his make-up a few months back. Have not heard from him since after multiple messages to him. His word has proven to be worthless.

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!

I would love to know what is going through these guys heads when they do this and how they justify it to themselves.

Like saying you will make good on makeup owed you can sort of understand why it gets to the point where you have to make a post on it to speed things up. Always something better to spend their money on etc... Not saying it's right but sometimes these guys just need a kick up the ass to get things in motion and to remind them that what they are doing is wrong.

When they cashout the roll though it's just plain outright theft. So disgusting.

Hope you get some of the money back from these guys calistyle.

I feel disgusted looking at this,because Like me theres so many talented players that cant get a stake because they have no references , and they not even bother to answer my applications
I guess its Karma... But with references.

I still dont understand why a staker prefers a thief with references than a hard working lad that just wants to succeed

Its disgusting the way this world works.

I dont know how many horses calystyle has but 3 scamming is absurd

Because hindsight is 20/20.

Simple theft - he vanished for a couple weeks, cashed out the bankroll, and offered the following explanation:

" HI!

I dont know how to say this, but here I go. I have a hard situation, my father went really bad, and he was really close to death, I had to be with him and because the situation i was forced to make a cash out from stars. I know it isnt right, but i didnt have more options and my fathers life was on the line. So by now my father is safe, the operation went well and he´ll be around for a while. But at this time I dont have the money that u gave me to play poker. Like I said before I know it was wrong, but I felt i had to do it at that time.. Really I dont know whats is going to happen, i know i fail to the confidence u gave me. But I hope u understand why I did that. I dont know how i will return ur money by now but I assure that i will get it back to u. By now Im broke but i will find a way. Really sorry and I will be in contact soon."


Starting with "Hi!" was definitely stylish, and who knows if this is true or not. Had he spoken to us in advance and explained the situation we would have worked something out and helped, but he chose to steal first and explain later, so as a result we suggest that he not be staked by anyone in the future.

(Not sure if he has 2+2 account.)

Player needed funds on BCP; we agreed to send him $250 and then $500 on BCP in exchange for Paypal. He kept the BCP but disputed the charges with his credit card company so the Paypal sends would be reversed. Paypal removed the money from my account; I’m currently disputing this but realistically will probably not be unsuccessful.

I’ve subsequently communicated with player over Facebook and email. He claimed that his credit card had done this automatically, and that he no longer used Paypal and couldn’t resolve through them, so he would give me cash in Vegas instead. He requested until this past Monday to pay me, but never paid. When I told him again that I’d have no choice but to post his info on 2+2 and consider this to be a scam if he didn’t make the situation right, he replied:

“I dont appreciate how you have made me feel in this situation. For that reason I'm not going outta my way to make this right. Gl in the main. If you wanna try to ruin my rep cuz MasterCard gave me a fraud alert go ahead. You should really no be such a ****ing *******”

I have not heard from him since and will be out the full $750 unless Paypal sides with me over his credit card company.

Was in the middle of a trade with a pro scammer by the name of Steve Garrett, Mike Haven caught it midway. Only was able to scam me a few bucks.

Confirmed it was not a good idea. Scammed me a few bucks. Thanks Mike

Edit/MH: See http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=1383

He scammed me as well few months ago for $500 although it was not thru 2+2

Would also like to add his twitter account https://twitter.com/2black3z
and he goes by s/n 2black3z on a lot of sites and is a reg in south Florida casinos although i havent seen him since he scammed me.

Jorge kept in touch with us for the first couple of weeks. He told us one day that he went to Bank of America and deposited $100 into our account. This of course was a lie and he's gone off the grid for around 2 weeks ever since.

Name: Charles Sims
Location: Saint George Utah (coincidentally the same location as Jorge Consiglieri)
Screen name on FTP: angrywarlock
Screen name on Stars: lionpargn

In his original staking application to us he explained that he had just lost access to his stars account because he was found to be using a VPN. This was definitely somewhat of a flag to us but we decided to still go forth with a stake.

We were staking him for NL200 for a couple weeks. He was doing fine, barely up $ and then he had a session in which he lost $1,521 at 1/2. He immediately left that table and went to 10/20 to play one of the best regs on the site and quickly polished off the last $2,413.84 in his account.

After this happened he wrote us the following message on skype on 6/28:
[12:37:36 PM] Charles Sims: Hey, why is my account at zero? Are they doing something?
[12:38:50 PM] Charles Sims: Let me know when you can please.


We confirmed w/ the site that the same IP address was being used the entire time of this account. I have that IP address for anyone that might want to check it against some of their notes.

In total $3,065.92 was stolen from us. I sent him an email later that day confronting him on the issue and he has not replied once. He's a coward and a complete scumbag.

Charles Sims from Saint George Utah/Las Vegas Nevada is a scammer and thief.


For humor stakes, this is a conversation I had with him prior to us staking him when I was making him jump through hoops to provide references in regards to Jorge Consiglieri scamming us the week prior. His references by the way were through email and I'm guessing were all made up:

[6/21/2012 1:19:38 PM] Charles Sims: I don't really know, I just thought he did very well. Seems like you have quite a few scammers.
[6/21/2012 1:20:14 PM] Shane: Unfortunately it's a tough environment right now for poker players in the US and some of these guys think this is the solution. They don't realize they are ruining their names on the internet forever
[6/21/2012 1:20:28 PM] Shane: if anyone ever googles Jorge's name that will be listed on google. just not worth it
[6/21/2012 1:21:59 PM] Charles Sims: I hit a low point with the FTP ordeal. Did what I had to do though, and by that I mean using a VPN.
[6/21/2012 1:22:15 PM] Charles Sims: Figure it's best to admit it haha.
[6/21/2012 1:22:59 PM] Charles Sims: Until early this month I was spending 40 a month for just a VPN, not including the friend I payed off to prove residency.




I have all of our contracts, email and skype conversations saved if anyone needs access to them.

I captured his picture since he deleted Twitter if needed.

It appears his family is from Dallas and Mother has a degree in Law. Somehow I do not think she would approve of his stealing...

Maybe this is why he needed money

Possible that he is back in Dallas

If anyone has a problem with Adam Mirliss (aka- 2black3z) please pm me. I have been he's backer for the past two years and he has always done very well with me and have never had a problem. Recently I went broke and left him with basically nothing and by the looks of it has had a very hard time getting back on his feet. I will make things right with who ever he ****ed over because to be honest i feel bad for the kid and kind of feel guilty for putting him in this position. I do not agree that scamming people should ever be an option. But by the look of this thread it is continuing to increase in the poker community. Adam Mirliss made me over 25k profit in the last 2 years and I am putting him in the whole FSPC and Hardrock tourneys the next month. Please PM me if you feel you are owed. He is very sorry and hopes with repayment we can all put this in the past. Thanks

Nice for the people he scammed, but an idiotic sentiment which will probably re-enforce any justification the scammer thought he had.

I sent that new poster a PM a while ago on how to contact us for paying us back, but we have yet to hear from him and realistically we never assumed it to be genuine offer.

If somehow he does turn out to be legit we will post those details.

I feel its very unlikely that post is legit

better chance of me waking up with a full head of blonde wav-ee hair

So its been a few weeks since i posted this message and there and still been no reply by syker or kev/ben
I want to clear my name ive had people look at the contract i had and they agree that the backers breached the contract.
So how can this situation be resolved and my name be cleared
