use the report button (for mod attention) to prevent further damage

i have reported ThaTruthDoe now

also any delayed trades should be posted as info or warning for others immediately, not days later (even if the delayed trade has been agreed to by both parties)

Wasn't Thatruthdoe giving advice on how not to get scammed just last week or 2? Every time there is a newbie who becomes Mr. Helpful in the thread, he turns into a scammer with in 60 days. It is a tell.
Have you guys who have not received the GDMP's contacted the poker sites? He is not banned yet so maybe he is working this out with the moderators?
How many GDMPs and to how many individuals has he potentially scammed? How can anyone get away with scamming more then one person?
I have done many many many trades always sending 2nd. The few times I had a problem transferring poker funds to someone, Ive come on the thread and stated what the problem was. Like so and so has not received my funds, I am out now and will send when I get home at 7pm or ACR is not processing my trade for whatever reason I will email security and try to speed this up or find out what is wrong. I do not even wait for my trade partner who has not received my funds to do so, I do this so all can see and know what is going on.
My point is no one should have the opportunity to steal from more than one person on here. Just post everything that is going on in the thread timely. And if you do a trade, confirm it in the thread. So many times I sell funds to someone I post a confirm and the guy who buys it is too lazy to confirm it.

I completed one successful trade so foolishly I thought we were on the up and up. Then he started giving me the run around and here I am 5 days later with no gdmp...funny he was telling me other individuals might be scamming and no one has ever not paid me but him.. Holding out hope for one more day..

Yeah I usually just look for confirmed trades from multiple sources, which I found a few in this case and didnt see any negative stuff posted, not big $, so I went with it. Obviously should have been more hesitant etc, doesnt excuse the scam though. It appears to me he got 3 of us for about $500-$600 total. Mods have been aware of this since I initially posted there was an issue, dont know that reporting him again is going to solve anything. I think mods wanted to give him a chance to pay before banning.

I think they are giving him an opportunity to make it right.. However we will see what type of a man he by tomorrow. If he doesn't square up. Then we all have our answer

ThaTruthDoe, a November account, temp-banned, no log in for 36 hours
-- 90% of the traders itt would never send first to a newish account;
not much we can do about the other 10% of you

- Skelaton4 sent $2000 to Lock (gmasboyy)
- username17 sent $200 to Trupoker (arserape1)
- WinLoseChop sent $250 to SWC (grandmasfav)
- edit - an older $95 unpaid debt

All 3 were promised GDMP - no word from any of them about response from any of the sites or if they even reported that they were scammed for their transfer. Might not be too late guys.

ThaTruthDoe has Skype account da.truth1212 in his profile and PMed me sherever as his Skype if I temp-banned him.

I emailed security at truepoker and they said they cannot reverse the transaction because the funds were played in full. I also talked to him on skype da.truth1212 (matthew netskin - GB, United States)
on the 29th and he was saying he was headed home to take care of things. Have not heard from him since.

Really not much point in contacting "security" at SwC over this, anyone familiar with the site knows there will be no response/action taken. It is what it is, I will just have to be more careful in future, likely this will actually force me to get setup properly on coinbase to cash out btc from my SwC chips.

Warning about 2+2 user Coffeegod, scammer

I sent him 60 lock and he was supposed to pay me 20 amazon by yesterday evening, but he hasnt logged in since 12/28.

My apologies to the community for sending first to a guy like this - recent reg date, low post count, only two confirmed trades.

.

Nah, they won't... Same exact situation happened to me a few months ago.

Is there sopmeone on here who is trusted, that does escrows? Might reduce the scam rate

Plenty of them, but who's gonna wanna do escrows all day long unless they get a cut... A cut that would have to be worth it for their time... Their time is probably worth more than a few dollars an hour imo.

If someone was willing to take the additional step of first escrowing the funds, I imagine they could do enough due diligence on their trading partner as to eliminate most of the risk in a trade.
The problem is sending first to relatively new accounts when with a little patience they could find one of many old time regular traders who could help them out.
Even if you were almost completely lazy and did not want to do any research you could follow this little guide below and successfully trade with the only primary risk being the 2 plus 2 account was hacked.

Would this be hard to follow?

Newer Trader sending to Newer Trader = High Risk Trade
Newer Trader sending to Old Reliable Trader = Low Risk Trade
Old Reliable Trader sending 2nd to New Trader = Almost Risk Free Trade

Agree, but an escrow for someone like me, who wants to sell or buy, and gets an offer from another newer member like me. I would be for using an escrow, and would obv give said trusted member a cut.

i sometimes act as an escrow when there's a trade between someone i know - who's new or doesn't have rep - and someone else who isn't willing to send first to that person, but is willing to send first to me. i imagine that's a similar situation that other people escrow in as well. but this has always been for bigger trades.

When people are trading Amazon for poker funds, are they just buying e-gift cards to send or is there another way?

His recent scams have been on bitcointalk where he appears to have duped victims 3 times this year (see above, 1,2,3)

And a hit and runner to boot

Thx and good work, we all appreciate it!

Indeed - very good work gents. F'd up world with these lowlifes trying to scam folks. The work put into keeping the trade thread as clear as possible is very much appreciated.

I hate those ****ers.

guys I had over $3900 in my pokerangel11 account on wincake and since I have been in this forum someone got into my account yesterday and now I am left with $24.36. I have never given my email address out on here. I did call this number and after later in the day it happened. All i did was pick it up listen to the menu and hang up is this number fake and a scam?
Lock Poker
Toll free - 1 800 284 5952

This is going to put me into a depression for quite a long time and i don't know if i will ever be able to play poker again. Support at Wincake says someone logged into my account with the ip of (204.93.54.109 and lost it all to jackpot1mil and they are not responsible if the person got my login info. Has anybody else ever had this happen to him and is there anything I can do?

Assuming you aren't chip dumping.. This is not good. I see that you had several posts about withdrawing yesterday. Did you trade Pms, info, Skype, email, attachments with anybody in the past day privately about this
?

I'd suspect them of the compromise. ESP if you accepted any attachments. Can a mod point this poor soul to a better place to post this?

Btw. Cake is not lock. Lock is no longer part of cake/revolution. I'm shocked Cake security is not doing more like temp blocking that other account.

You could try posting and asking for help here. I'm not sure if there is a better thread. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28...g-itt-1079166/

204.93.54.109 is CANADA, QUEBEC, SAINT-LAURENT

pokerangel11 lost(gave away) $3800 wincake/rev yesterday to 2+2er jackpot_1mil in 6 minutes and 19 hands of $25/50 HUNL, including this doozer final hand


smackjack22, you didn't mention a further $1300 of wincake/rev funds that
pokerangel11 lost December 29 to newly created account InterloperBG in 6 HUsngs($300, 300, 300, 114, 114, 134) played in 40 minutes.

your pokerangel11's previous 100 tournies were all micros.
