P2P transfers: CHAT thread : No trading ITT - Page 256 - Internet Poker

Well this is fun pretty sure got scammed by elfleader, sent him 750 for vanilla he said his
Girl accidentally got green dot and
Now is not
Logging in to his account for hours now, anyone have history with him. Needed funds in an emergency im pretty pissed

He recently popped into sports thread trying to book action without ever posting in there before. He also posted in hsnl xfer thread saying he has btc and wants skrill. Nobody responded or called him out there bc that wouldn't be standard in that thread, but in the sports thread people did. If you'd have done homework you never should have sent first to him. What did you send him $750 on? And yes, it's pretty safe to say you got scammed.

This whole ilike23bet and elf leader thing is fishy. No offense to you if you actually got scammed, but I would bet money and 1 or both parties have something to do with royhobbs, aceking, etc.

I really think it might be time to close down the trading thread because its just basically there for scammers to prey on idiots. And while yes it takes a pretty dumb person to actually get scammed in that thread, it shouldn't matter. It still happens Bc there's always gonna be dumb people.

It's there for people to move around money too, but the fact that supposed scams are happening on a daily basis has to be reason to close it. Or I must be crazy? One or the other.

Wasn't speaking about your side honestly. Was more concerned with that 2004 account possibly being royhobbs/aceking. It's not just a random person that hacked that acct or the acct owner randomly scamming someone out of nowhere. It's happening with random accts, newly signed up or not, like every day now.

From a quick glance it looks like he paid and lost 250$ in a fantasy league in 8/2013. There's some hope that he fell asleep, got layed, ... and you get your money soon.

Please don't take this as a vouch or reference.

Me, too. You should still report (

Something is is bugging me, but I'm not sure why.

eifleader on ACR, with a i, correct?

I know this is too late to help you now, but if you'll be trading in the future, you may care to use this guide.

One confirmed trade, years ago, in which he received a yellow card. Absolutely zero activity in the hsnl xfer thread until his solo post today..

7. Are there any inconsistencies in their statements or account names?
Two PS account names.
"have confirmed trades in both hsnl and the normal p2p thread" <-- no he doesn't.

If he scores a one, slow down then take a closer look.
If he scores a two, stop then ask a veteran trader for help.
If he scores a three or more, don't trade, period.

Nice work Clamper. That guide is something EVERY trader should follow, wether they are new or not, to avoid or decrease the chances of being scammed.

Another thing is, new traders should always go that extra mile in doing research on there potential trading partner before sending money to random people. If new posters have any doubts or are not sure about something, pm'ing a mod or a veteran ITT deff won't hurt.
Most of the time if a trade sounds to good to be true or that person seems desperate and is looking to trade in a hurry, more often than not, you are dealing with a scammer, it's basic common sense.

Probably a good idea. If he's a scammer, blowing up his phone isn't going to make a difference, nor will leaving him be for a couple of days make you less likely to get your money IMO. If it's all legit (even if you consider it to be a <1% chance), you'l be gad you did.
