Lock WU was made available again on 12/31. however very few of the folks who initiated on 12/31 have received their WU MTCN number and cash. Hard to say how long the transactions are really going to take until a new pattern is established (it used to be appx 4 weeks in the Fall). I am one of the many 12/31 folks waiting for their MTCN info. Hopefully it will get back on "tracK" (meaning 4 weeks).

I did a trade with him last week that was unusual, but I wouldnt call it a scam, although he did send me 1% less than he promised me and told me he wasnt going to send the last 1%. Message me if you want any more details.

I posted this in the HS Xfer thread, but figured I'd post it here as well.

I have lots of details/information on NthDegree.

I sent Rainbow Warrior the information I have on NthDegree, including his phone number and lots more personal info. If you were scammed, feel free to get into contact with me with details of what happened, etc.

Well I would call it a scam. I mean if this person did this to you, imagine how many others might have had similar problems. It starts with 1% and ends up at 100% as it seems now. Did you post the fact you got scammed for 1%?

Yes, in the HSNL transfer thread. He came into the thread and said it was "wire fees" although Ive confirmed in that thread that it was not wire fees. he has admitted to me that he just sent the wrong amount and got upset at me, calling me names when I asked for the full amount. He stopped accepting communication from me and thats when I posted in the thread.

Just thought I would let everyone know, i will update this with more info as I have it,. i have this guy who wants to make a trade. I am out of town at superbowl (third row) sick brag,,, and hes like I WANNA DO A TRANSFER NOW FOR 1.5k u send first ive done tons of transfers.... i said well wait man im out of town ill do it when i get back,,, then he tried to clal me and couldnt reach me , i put a 5 where a 6 should bne ,,, then he said im a scammer due to this... then i wrote I AM JUST GETTING TO MY HOTEL and it typed i am just judy,, and started saying u are saying your name is judy now your changing your name i think u might be a scammer im gonna make a post about u .... unless u send first,,, this guy is trying to pin me in a corner to send him a grand so that i dont have to deal with explaining about hwy im not willing to just green dot him 1k bux... plus i told him i dont like green dot.....
just putting it out there. ill have his screen name when i get my phone charged... hes kinda ruined my entire day because i wouldnt do the transfer while here in new orelans ( i dont even have my laptop) im in the hotel lobby......
just putting this up before he tries to tarnish me for whatever reason... i said i dont appreciate what ur doing and he says im blowing this out of propotion... i basically said on the phone look im not comfortable sending u money now i dont know who u are , and he said ""whateber man, then followed it up with a bunch of emails calling me a scammer or maybe im a scammer and he wants to warn people about it" kinda twisted i think
? i said i would prefer not to work with u right now wait til i get home and the dude couldnt take it.... hes the guy on here looking for up to 1.5 or 2k cash i cant rmember for acr or true. i said i wanted true and he said he had lock... its like hes saying he has money on every account i dunno what the deal is, but the fact i said no and he calls me a scammer makes me think he might be a scammer more details when i get my iphone charged.

now this guy says hes getting me banned, in an email i mistyped a word and he mistook it as me saying my name is judy when i was typing JUST then he called the wrong number, this all added up to him saying im a scammer and that he can get me banned since he has thousands of posts.... if that can get me banned than ban away... as anyone can see im the top earner on merge...... if i get banned because i refuse to send someone cash while im at the super bowl ,,, then BAN AWAY ... this guy thinks he has serious pull...


his name is osmosisnl@gmail.com DANIEL WARNER hes a ****ing psycho cuz i said im on vacation and dont feel up to sendign cash to someone i dont know str8 out til i get home and he sent me atleast 100 msges claling me a scammer its beyond weird.. and he continues to call me a scammer and that i will be banned cuza i wont send him 1k cash right now or sit with it, and i said i dont have my laptop im ON MY PHONE i cant get online and sit with my roll .....
he said im online but ya im online at my fkn HOUSE.
this guy is peeving me off
no one deal with this guy if u dont send him money or respond right way he goes APE ****, he needs to get out of the basement

I wouldn't say 'very few'. These are just from past few pages of the Lock WU withdraw thread, and there were quite a few more on pages before that. Also, I am sure many who receive don't post or forget to (or aren't 2 plus 2 members). So what you see in that thread is likely unbalanced, since I would think people are more likely to visit that thread & post if they are 'still waiting'.

I also wouldn't be surprised if some people were exacerbating the lock situation to exploit lower lock prices (seems to be some fear mongering going on, but maybe that is just the conspiracy theorist in me).

I think you are right that it will take some time for a pattern to be established regarding Lock WU cashout times, but I also feel that current prices on Lock are too low. If cashout times continue to improve, people who are buying up lock at these low prices are going to clean up when the market rebounds.

fair enough. I guess I'm viewing more cup half empty cause I'm still waiting in line. I have a bunch of horses on lock hence knowing that others are waiting as well. I'd expect price to go back closer to .70-.75 if WU can get consistent again. I'd be quite happy with 4 weeks

pretty sure scammed, no funds in my account, no contact with comegetsome said he "sent " and wont respond pms now...

Thank you to this user. Please always report anything suspicious like this to the mods, asap:

"**** has reported this private message:
From: BornInHell90
hey there!
hello ****! I added u on skype, i need to ask u some questions! My skype name is AkshayK787 Can u accept my friend request please? It would be great"

Maybe this wise decision of reporting this person can make some of my infraction points disappear!

But seriously that sounds so fake/troublesome that it was sending off alarms

WATCH OUT.....WAS JUST INFORMED BY *SEEKER*

Someone is posing as me, he received an email from someone that has similar email and 2+2 name acting like me....I WILL NEVER EMAIL FOR A TRADE....below are the details he provided to me

"Klymeso@gmail.com 2p2 name Clemson FTW. Obvious scammer, emailing me"

THAT IS NOT ME

Thanks for the heads up; without further investigation it was a pretty easy call to ban this account that was created today and has zero posts:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/members/355521/

Beware of an imposter going around pretending to be me using the email gunth0807ak@yahoo.com. This email does not belong to me and i will not solicit trades via email.

This account was associated with that email address (created over a month ago), and is now banned:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/members/351663/

Edit to add: LOL - Current Activity: Viewing User Profile Clemson FTW

Just got word that someone is using the user name "Gunth" on the pokerowned forums to pose as me as well. I don't even have an account on that forum.

Unless you can get ahold of me thru my 2+2 account or know me offline, do not trade with anyone claiming to be me.

^ May be a false alarm as i can't confirm they are actually trying to impersonate me. But there is someone with the username "Gunth" soliciting trades on that site. Just to confirm again, that account does not belong to me.

This is still suppose to be the process correct?


The bold portion.

No. That was probably written before the thread became so busy. I'll change it.

There's no need to post first before PMing, although in certain circumstances it might be sensible to do so, at your own discretion.

Just to add...

If you are getting PMed trade offers that do not relate to what you have posted THOSE are unsolicited and highly likely to be suspicious.

Also, if you get any type of PM from someone who has been absent from 2+2 or hasn't recently made a trade post these have to be checked.

In either case please do not hesitate to forward the PMs to Mike Haven or Rainbow Warrior

If you can do WU it looks like a month-ish, otherwise checks are looking at like 3-6 months

And ROW players have recently had unacceptable delays in Skrill, other payouts

Ive only been a 2p2 user for a few days and want to trade? what are some ways that i can begin to trade. i read about the pm option capability being a must, how can i get the process rolling?

I've read the 1st post again plus several posts in the threads and have a good understanding of the rules. What I'm unfamiliar with are b of a transfers, suppose i had lock $$$ for a b of a transfer. How does that process work? Thank you for your help

I definitely will check with my bank. I was just referring to 2p2 and any tips or do's and don'ts for advice on not getting scammed. I'm just trying to gather some more info on this side of it. Thanks for any help you can give. I would like to get a little more info on how it works in relation to 2p2 transfers so I feel more comfortable about trading when the time is right. If anyone who has made a similar trade has any info I would greatly appreciate some insight into this.

Edit/MH: Read the OP of the transfers thread. Search that thread and this thread for BOA transfers effected. Everything is there. As you will be receiving your prospective partner's RL name and bank account number so you can send, it is unlikely you will be scammed.

Hey. I just moved to Bangkok and I'm looking to get started on PartyPoker. It seems impossible to deposit into PartyPoker from Thailand. I've tried everything, even Entropay and Western Union but to no avail. I have cash to give to anyone that can deposit some funds into my PartyPoker account. Please help!
