I was talking to a mod about making a thread to repay the people I've stolen from because I do genuinely feel bad about doing it (when I was 15), but I was banned instead. I've played staked for 3 stables over last 2 years with 0 problems and have people that can attest that I always transfer back what I owe.

WEC, do you happen to know the total amount of $ I've taken? Just out of curiosity because I could just pay the people back.

chum33 also pm'd me about staking. All the info used in the quote from Qclycorne matches what he sent us.

I am not the staker involved in this feedback but have been asked to make people aware that this guy is a douchebag thief... He has been begging alot for stakes on THMF and has been applying for alot of stakes over here as well...

Basically, got staked for a few tournaments which then continued on for a couple of weeks. Makeup was shipped back to staker leaving the roll at $550ish. Shortly after he claimed family illness and has made no further contact with staker despite numerous requests. He has also continued to play poker tournaments during this time.

Story:

I sent first $109 GDMP

He was then supposed to send me $109 on intertops...there was a mix-up of usernames but i contacted Intertops and they told me know one had my username: jdctkid12 as a log-in so the money was not sent to the wrong individual. I then PM'd him my correct log-in and he ignored my PM's, said he was going to repay and never has.

I thought it was appropriate to post given that Paul has used me as a reference. When I staked him , it would have been very easy for him to scam me for an amount close to $1k. Instead he made all transfers on-time and for the full amount.

Obviously the above in no way excuses prior theft. But I think we should start by giving him the opportunity to repay anyone he previously scammed.

I'm not sure whether there is precedent for how the community handles players who once scammed, then express regret and repay everyone (assuming he actually does this when able to). I would vote in that case though for letting him rejoin the community, with individual stakers/traders/etc able to decide for themselves if they would rather avoid his business.

I know Paul personally in real life from our time in College together. I have staked him a few times and given him loans for hundreds of dollars and have always been paid back by him. He is very trustworthy and part of the reason I got into poker a few years ago. I think he deserves another chance if he pays back the scam.

Had person message me on skype and try to do a trade. He tried to have me do the trade off of the site even because my PMs are not ready yet.

Skype Name: Healingd

He tried to say he was 2 + 2 user Plainestman, and that his skype user name of Plainestman was hacked so thats why he was using Healingd. He then tried to setup a trade.

I thought the whole thing was fishy so I sent an e-mail to Plainestman from this site and he responded saying that Healingd was not him. Please be careful in the future if skyped by user Healingd. Follow the rules of thread please.

hey folks,

We have a player that has dropped out of contact on his stake and it was brought to my attention that he has been soliciting other stakes at 2+2 and another forum as well that we know of.

The players info is:

Gearoid Coughlan (No-rebuy-4-u), 6-max Cash Staking Application.


Full name: Gearoid Coughlan

Nationality: Irish, currently living in New Zealand.

Age: 21 (09/04/91)

2+2 - No-Rebuy

Pokerstars SN: No-rebuy-4-u (1 and only online account)

iPoker: NoRebuy4u

Forum SN: The Messiah - CardsChat,, No-rebuy - 2+2

Email Address: gearoid.coughlan@yahoo.com

Skype: no-rebuy-4-u

We also have picture id that will be posted if required.

He owes us $500 on his stake and he has been actively involved still playing, getting stakes and investing elsewhere from the information we have been given while owing us these funds.

We started staking him last year Nov.7/12 and then he went through some personal challenges (apparently) told us he would be likely moving back home to Ireland (Jan. this year) and we have not heard from since that time.

We will email and skype him links to this feedback and will give him the opportunity to make things right.

If anyone else needs info on the player or has a similar situation, please let us know.

Cheers,
Colin

In relation to this, Josef has sent me an email which explained his absence and disappearance. The money that has disappeared was not lost on the stake but he "can't remember what happened to it" as he had some bad news in his personal life and wasn't focused on things. Anyway, he has sent a $300 repayment which was all he had left from the original $1800, and is sending the total of $1800 over 15 weeks ($300 paid and then $100 per week). Will update the thread as he pays along the process (he has paid 2 weeks so far).

I think although he's made a mistake, if he follows this payment plan through IMO this can be put down to a bad stroke of luck and hopefully one-time stint. I think it's mature he has decided to deal with his problem rather than running from it so that has to count for a lot.

Hey folks,

We had a player that had dropped out of contact while staked for cash game play and we found that he was recently looking for a stake w/o settling with us first.

The amount is small, only $176.54 .. he claims that he thought his brother had sent us the money but that never did happen when he dropped out of contact when we asked for updates to be sent in.

He is saying that he would like to settle this amount on March.18/19 .. so we will post his info up now and remove this and clear the matter once he has paid.

Does anyone if Bushaltefolie uses the skypename jminful24. A person using that skype name is saying he is 2 + 2 user: Bushaltefolie and wants to do a trade with me. He said is Lock user name is, Heartbeatangle which is werid cuz on Bush's other post he said his lock sn was heartbeatangel not heartbeatangle. He also wanted to me send the transfer to it to e-mail: Gdrane712@hotmail.com. This all seems like a scammer. Thanks for the help everyone.

You can't receive PMs yet. A search for jminful24 only shows your posts.

Why did you post in the trading thread requesting a PM, if you can't receive PMs?

Be careful.

I didn't know I couldn't do PM's yet. I received an infraction for my stupidity. I reread the rules and understand.

scammer agreed to pay. Will keep this updated later if this changes.

This guy was mentioned here in this thread before and the characteristics are the same.

I'm another victim of Jake 'Gamblor288' Lebour here. This time on Partypoker, he used another nickname, TinmanHeartless, played for a while, and winning, I watched him play and he was not a bad player. A good player with maybe just some anger issues. At one point he did mention that he was Gamblor288 on Pokerstars, but I only sharkscoped it, if I had googled it I would've probably found this. He send me an ID, with a name Ali Al, address in London, Ontario, but it's a stolen ID and not really him. Looking back at the conversation now I can point out where I should've known and suspected, but he was pretty good at what he does. I was mostly fooled because he was a decent player. I would expect a worse player to risk his reputation with a scam. His home town on Skype was London, Canada in this case also. skypename: wizk1dd7012.

We talked a lot, and he had made up a facebook account with a lot of information too, about this Ali Al, and pictures too. He seemed to know Canada pretty well, doesn't have a foreign accent and it is certainly North American, so I would also say that Canada is the true location. He also claimed to be studying Business Finance at Toronto University. Obviously all of this can be fake too, but who knows, maybe somebody knows him.

His last words:
Ali: I'm sorry I degen'd all your money away on roulette and then tried to scam someone else to pay you back and I stole this persons ID I'm not actually Ali al , I'm a long time scammer named jake lebour you can search me , Ali al has nothing to do with this and my account is now banned and everything is gone bye now sorry I did this , I don't know what to do

What a gentleman in the end lol. I hope that someone while getting asked by him finds this thread and will be smarter than me and finds a way to counter-scam or bust him. A cancer in mankind.

March 7 hsnl scam by wizk1dd

More info in many subsequent posts.

pm sent, but I am supposedly staking him right now, sounds more like I got scammed though. When confronted with this post he claimed it was a misunderstanding, when asked to temporarily end stake until this situation was resolved, he became unresponsive. He claimed he was in the process of moving so still an outside chance it is a misunderstanding but if he got a stake from us while owing a previous backer $500 it doesn't look good. Will update thread when we have discussion over details and can figure out what's actually going on.

David Kent - Confirmed Theif/Scumbag

Stars - Dino4312396
2+2 - KingDino

I've put this off for way too long. In October we realised that Davids sharkscope losses were far less that what he had reported back, we then found out from our staking manager that he had not been audited for months, David agreed to send the audits straight away and found we that he had been consistently withdrawing money from the roll for and had stolen close to $8000. When we confronted David about this he admitted the stealing the money, sent back the small amount that he had left in his account and promised to pay the rest back. He is still playing poker and has replied to a few messages and claims that he plans on paying back.



.

Disclaimer: David Kent aka KingDino aka Dino4312396 is my current roommate and has been my roommate since I moved to Mexico, and was my roommate when all this was happening. I didn't know he was doing this until after it was exposed Spathic (who was also my backer at the time and is still my backer today) and I am not defending his actions in any way. I am just here to state facts and help bring the situation to an accurate resolution.

David saw this and asked me to audit his account to find the actual amount stolen, which he believes to be much less than $8000 (he told me that "it's like prob 3k max"). I had him request a playing history audit from within the Pokerstars client starting with the first day Spathic sent him money to play and ending with the day he sent the last of his funds back after being dropped, then send those audits to me in an Excel format to review. I received 2 .zip files in the requested Excel format from Pokerstars through David, one ("audit #1") starting on 2/15/2012 @ 20:18 EST and ending on 7/1/2012 @ 19:23 EST, the other ("audit #2") starting on 7/1/2012 a@ 1:43 EST and ending on 10/23/2012 @ 23:47 EST. I was told this is because there is so much data on each and it had to be split up (there are 30771 rows and 16 columns of data on just the first spreadsheet for a total of 492336 cells of custom formatted data, so perhaps this is reasonable given the increased processing time for larger files, albeit far from the limitations of Excel).

I went through the audits and totaled the incoming and outgoing transfers to find the upper bound for the exact amount that David stole. There were no direct cashouts in either audit. Out of all transfers to and from his account, there was on overlapping transaction that could potentially be double-counted (a $77 incoming transfer on 7/1/2012 @ 9:16 EST appears on both spreadsheets). I have listed the totals for each type of transfer per each audit below:

Therefore, the maximum amount that could have been stolen is $4,084.35.

David also claims that some of these transfers were him buying pieces of other people's action that he intended to add back to the roll if they won, but the burden is on him to prove this for each transfer. I am also unaware what the terms of their deal say regarding using the roll for BAPs anyway, so that is something for Spathic and David to discuss.

David requests that Spathic's post above be edited to $4,084.35 from the current $8,000 until this is all sorted and an exact number is reached.

-Joe

Edit: I was just informed that not all of the incoming transfers were from Spathic so the above number may not be right. I'll go through again and look for transfers that seem to be staking reloads (larger even number amounts) and estimate what the amount should be. I apologize for coming off so sure at first but I didn;t have all the info I have now at the time.

Thanks Joe.

Just to make it clear, I was not intentionally making it look more than it actually is, if those numbers are correct. There was just a tonne of random transfers in his account and I did my best to work out which ones were not part of the stake. As soon as I finished going through the audit I asked David to also go through and mark all the transfers that were illegitimate so that we could agree on the amount owed but he had been putting it off until now.

Keith was staked by 4 of a kindbud on PartTimePoker during the Maximus II Tournament Series. He ended up going missing on PTP when Carbon shut down P2P transfers and kept the backer's money + profits. Keith has since been active on 2p2 both requesting stakes and posting for trades in the Internet Poker forum's P2P thread. I've tried on a few occasions to contact Keith on Skype to help resolve the situation, but he's chosen to ignore me as well as the backer that he rolled. I've also reported one of his posts to a moderator to remove his marketplace approval.

I fully expect to hear back from PokerArko (Arko 2p2) and when i do Mods can edit/remove this post, but it has been 2 weeks since last contact.

If anything outside of his control has caused this I will have mods delete this post
and an updated post will be made.

Got screwed already on my 2nd trade here. Disgrace.

Sent $30 to "destroyer1212" on pokerstars from my acct (drugsmydealr) to his (fles151 - Honduras)

He logged off as soon as transfer was completed, he never sent his end of mbers. Never said he had to go or I needed to wait 6+ hours.

Rainbow Warrior has already been notified.

This thread is sick.
What kind of people would scam for 100-500$ and ruin there image.
Man I rather die from hunger, then scam poker players and 2p2 members!
Now I understand why it is so hard to get a deal without references.
So many lowlife scumbags out there !

Hi guys,

Just thought I would bring it to everyones attention that there are certain people asking for stakes via Skype. They appear to be targeting people selling their action in the Live or Online threads and specifically people with Paypal options.

The way that it works is they approach the seller saying they are willing to invest a certain amount for them to play. They transfer it to your account, around 30 mins later they ask you to transfer the money they sent to a 3rd party, ie your friend to send it on to them as they cant receive from you etc.

Unaware to the scammed person, the scammer has already reversed the initial payment, then receives an amount from the 3rd party. Leaving the original person down and the 3rd party.

I will not mention names unless there is no resolution in this matter, fortunately for me it was not me that was scammed but a very reputable person in the MP who is now deciding whether to continue with his Paypal option for investments. This is a shame as it restricts US buyers from buying action.

If anyone has had this happen to themselves or know of anyone getting caught by this scam then please let me know or post in this thread.

Its about time these people were brought to bloody justice, its theft and they should be prosecuted for this.

On a more positive note, have fun at the tables guys.

Thanks

Will
