OK,I figured.
Probably not a good idea to put "im new to this" in my post huh?
Thanks for the tip bud.

looks like I got scammed for $111 by 2+2 username: ChicagoBulls ACR: JewishMoney

ChicagoBulls is a 2 month old account with no trade history.

It looks like you sent $$ to his ACR.
When?
Have you contacted their support/security?

Yeah I understand it was stupid to send to a new account. I emailed ACR about 30 minutes after sending and they were no help. Told me to have him transfer it back to me, which obviously wan't happening. I sent late Sunday night.

I just wanted others to know.

Please report ALL contacts who use emails and not PMs.

These are SERIAL SCAMMERS.

I am getting emails From: jkinard43@aol.com asking to buy lock.

Druntoper23@gmail.com emailed me claimed to be hunter jimpet + bushaltefolie From 2+2 . Busha confirmed on PM to me it was not him.

As soon as i told them i wouldnt send First via an emailer cimmunication ended

BenHanna66 (SVTRMK) might be a scammer. The amazon code he gave me is still showing in my account, but thinking it will disappear. Account had been dormant & Rainbow Warrior said last login location didn't match other logins. Email I sent lock to was raizitup@yahoo.com. 2+2 account is banned. Emailed lock security.

seems to be the same guy that contacted me.Jeez,the things people will do for poker money.smh

I Sent BOA to bubonicplay a few hours ago and he disappeared on me. I'm waiting for him to send lock to me. He's trusted right? I don't know what's going on with the hold up.

post in p2p chat thread and pm mike haven and rainbow warrior with all info about the transaction

i don't know what 'trusted' means - i'm in here all the time and i'm not familiar with that poster

He told me he's trusted and showed me refs. I felt like 2,500 posts would mean he wouldn't risk his rep like this..

post in p2p chat thread and pm mike haven and rainbow warrior with all info about the transaction. if it's a misunderstanding you can sort it out later. also, accounts are getting hacked on here lately, so legit-seeming people's accounts can be controlled by other folks who are up to no good

Seems like a way to scam people without being held accountable aswell, though, if you fake being hacked. (not pointing fingers at any specific case whatsoever, just saying)

yeah, i don't disagree. i believe we've had some of that, as well. either way, getting max info always helps us figure it out

It seems the mods are able to identify when people are falsely claiming to be hacked. In one instance, the mods showed proof that the last few log in attempts and PMs were sent from the account holder's normal IP address. This was pretty clear evidence that the user was lying about being hacked for his own gain.

It's nice to know the mods have some control over this. Another "blow" to the seemingly unending supply of scumb**** out there.

Ok I see people telling that if the person used the same ip or some ip on the area, is because is some sort of scam and they are sure of that?? Ok 95 % of the times is true.

But is easy for someone in the area if the person is using some wireless conection or even with cable connection ( the same cable share for a lot of clients), collect is data and access is bank and poker account.

So this is not always so simple.There is a ton of security flaws and aways to acess other person machines or collect is information. And that is done by people close.

I didn´t read how mutch it scammed people. And how many person .

But I´m just telling that is possible that a person be inocent in like 5% of the cases when the ip is showing that is in the same range for a particular zone.

I have a job opportunity for anyone living in the henderson/las vegas area. I was scammed back in October for $600 and actually filed a police report and got very close to recovering the money, but because I live far away the police and I couldn't quite put enough pressure on these guys to pay back.

So, I was thinking if someone from the area could help me recover the money, I would split it 50/50, we both would get $300. I have phone numbers and addresses necessary to recover the money. Obviously, I want to do this legally, so no harassing. All communication with these people has to be cleared by me. Probably the best way is if you could be a middleman between me and the henderson police because after my local pd gave a week of trying they gave up on the case and henderson won't talk to me unless my local pd pushes. Anyway if anyone is interested pm me and I will provide all details. I will need to get a sense of your character because again I want to do this all legally. Unfortunately, I cannot offer any payment unless we actually recover the money. I thought this is worth a shot. Thanks.

There is companys for that. That press the people and always showing up where that person is. They take part of the debt.
Is your best solution if you want to do it legal. Because they press the people everyday and dont give up until they pay.
I don´t know the term for that in english. In my country they use a special cloth like a type of smoking, so people know and get embaressed because everyone sees that the person have debts and dont pay. Is like a shame stuff. That break people into paying.

Thanks. Anyone know of any companies in the las vegas area that would try to collect on something like this?

some one can help with 888 support or manager who CAN LOCK scammer account ? i just go scammed at russian forum from guy pyjka (but his account on forum was hacked) .

Bubonicplay contacted me this morning. He wanted me to give you his # so you guys can get in touch. He is banned and can't communicate with you here. I had 1 trade with bubonicplay and it was smooth. Hope you guys sort it out...

Where I agree with you that nothing is ever 100%, ya got to try to look at the reality (or perhaps a better word on a Poker forum would be "odds") of the matter. I'll give you an isolated example of what I'm getting at here:

I live in a community of about 185-190,000 people, so not giant but large enough. The two american facing poker sites that allow P2P transfers at their combined peak have less than 2,500 cash players...WORLDWIDE. The odds of someone close to me geographicly or personally, even if I toss in the 750,000 people about 45 mins east of me, going to all that trouble for what in many cases is less than a couple hundred dollars just shrank up like crazy.

That's part of why you see so many quick to judge in their posts. I sincerely doubt there's more than one other person, if even that, with an IP address from the same city as me posting on 2+2. Granted that wouldn't be the case for some of the large cities, but I think you're probably over estimating how many subscribers to the 2 poker sites are close enough to each other to be able to pull off same area scams whether they know you personally or not.

I'm sure my example's flawed & I'm definately not trying to rep my self as even the dullest tack in the box let alone the sharpest, lol. But that 5% window you trying to be nice and think the best with isn't realistic on same area ip login scams imho.

try PMing 888Rep
