I bought few codes from him as well.

Im monitoring my account, so far these codes are still there

As I posted elsewhere, I still have a balance in my amazon account. I ordered some stuff on Monday (day I got the gift codes) and received the items from amazon.

I don't think he should be un-banned since he can easily create a new account and explain the situation itt or to a mod and have his account unbanned.

FWIW, I have an aim id for him and that has not been accessed since he and I spoke on Monday.

Regarding Sdid, if any of you would like to, PM to me any contact or other relevant info on him. His begimottt name is reminiscent of someone I was tracking a few years ago. I'm curious if there's a connection.

A 1 i s h A, did you first find out from an Amazon, and/or a specific reason given, or did you find out from a different method?

Nah i found out by myself actually. I did not get no email or anything regarding the money taken out of my account. I was gonna buy something on amazon that night and when i went to checkout i realize that i was short money. So i went into my giftcard account balance and realize that a couple transactions were missing from my account. The thing is they weren't taken away from amazon and they weren't present so i dont know what that is suppose to mean. Pretty much nothing happen on my account no subtraction or addition of money.

I traded with him amazon for minted
His minted imallinlol I got 600$ worth of mazon codes, I just noticed today:
Pending Balance hold $-250.00
you need to go to: Gift card Activity
Account balance the same, but this is posted, you will notknow unless it is processed.
Catch early!
Nimbus thanks for refferring me to this thread.

So apparently it looks like sdid for sure is a scammer. And it looks like he's gotten away with a couple K off pretty reputable members on these forums.

Let's dig around for some personal info on him and put him on blast

I'm on it

FWIW, Sdid = ac31 (Inactive since December '08) = CanIUnfold on Betfair
Still looking.

I almost pulled off my first swap in the marketplace with SDID as I pmed him about a week ago. (Un)fortunately i lost like 16 buy-ins and decided to hold off. Weird thing is he wanted to have me send first because of his history and my lack thereof. Maybe was a last ditch effort but weird he wouldn't make me more secure by offering send first considering he was free rolling.

To what account were you to send?

Did you get any other contact info ofrom him, IM or email addresses, etc? No need to post them yet, just let us know if you did.

Does anyone know if this guy has more than one poker account or is it just one Carbon account?

Anybody know the going rate on buying Cake poker money is?

*UPDATE*

Thanks to Rainbow Warrior i was able to retrieve some codes with "Sdid" that he gave on amazon in exchange for my Carbon money. So i called up amazon again, but this time i was able to give them the code and stuff. Unfortunaly every code i give them they said that amazon took the funds back it was indeed a charge back. They tell me that the only way for me to get the funds back i would need that person who gave me the code (which was Sdid) to contact amazon to get things sorted out. Obviously this is not going to happen so i can confirm that this was a scam on his part. I also asked amazon what about the ~$700 that is still in my account that i did with "Sdid" and she told me that Amazon will recover those funds once they realize the other amazon funds are fraudlent as well. So either way if you spend it or leave it in your giftcard balance you are still going to have to give it back to amazon one way or another. So 2+2^^ who say their funds are still intact doesn't mean anything atm. Its going to be taken away soon but ya. I told amazon how this is bullshi t and that amazon should be responsible for the funds that i lost. So to sum it all up for everyone who bought amazon from "Sdid" we are all outta luck and personally i learned to be more aware of who i trade with especially for large amounts.

What did carbon say? I dont think he was able to transfer the funds. nor he played with them.

I've sent a couple of emails to carbon security and linked Sdid's gift card thread. Carbon was less than helpful.

They basically said I sent Sdid money of my own "free will". That part is true.

However they didn't seem at all interested in shutting down the scammer or locking his funds.

Same with me, was scammed out of $395. I contacted Carbon security 30 minutes after, showed them the thread, etc. They basically told me too bad and locked up my transfer options and will not remove it.

LOL, someone scams me and my transfer option is revoked - yea I'm the criminal.

Carbon security is a joke.

hey can somebody tell me how long it takes to send/receive a GDMP transfer and a netspend transfer as well? ive been out of the poker loop since black friday and am noticing all these new methods everyones using lol...thanks in advance.

updated and moved

possibly more to come



Sdid

Cake - igoallinlol - (161 hands micro)

The Amazon funds were bought with what appears to have been a fraudulent credit card.
The purchase was then charged back by the card issuer meaning they would not be paying Amazon for the initial purchase.
Amazon is now seizing their funds from those who received the unpaid-for code transfers.


It's hard to spot a dangerous 2008 2+2 account that has >1000 posts.

Sdid was, however, a red-flagger.
- 975 posts in 2008, most in BBL4Life
- 38 month dormancy
- returns Jan 2, 2012 and makes 45 January one-line posts in strategy forums
- then starts looking for trades offering a surprising 30% vig on Amazon


************************************************

Sdid (2008)
- posted from Edmonton (attending University?)
- 21 other 2+2 accounts registered from same location that year and then abandoned
- ac31 and james39 seem to have most posts

Sdid (2012)
- posting from NY state
- a few of those 21 other accounts also logged in around the time (early Jan/12) Sdid started posting again

I will be looking closer at those accounts.
If anyone wants to check out the posts of ac31 or james39 please let me know if you find anything.
If something needs amending itp please let me know.

In regards to this whole sdid thing...I'm not surprised Amazon won't do anything, nor can I blame them. What we are doing with the Amazon funds is really not the intended purpose, and if anything, it's more of a liability to Amazon than anything. They are not a gaming payment processor, we are the ones treating it like that.

What is absurd however, is that Carbon apparently from what you guys are posting is not being helping at all. They should AT A MINIMUM, freeze this guys Carbon account before he can dump the funds to someone else.

Not all Merge skins allow player to player transfers. Some don't. But the ones that do, understand that it benefits their bottom line to get as many players on their site as possible, regardless of the method for funding their account. However, with this benefit comes responsibility, to make sure there aren't clear cases of scammers getting away with criminal activity. This is a disgrace for Carbon, and another black eye to Merge and US facing sites these days. If someone tried to pull this s*** using Pokerstars funds, they would do a proper investigation within days, and would probably compensate all players who got scammed by this guy.

In the meantime, keep up the good work Clamper and everyone else. Let's get all his personal information and put him on blast. This guy needs to have an example made out of him. He is just lucky he isn't anywhere near the Chicago area, or else I'd personally make sure he'd pay for this all. And PS I didn't even get scammed by him. I just hate scum like him, that tarnish the last remaining reputation and trust there is left in the Internet poker community.

Tried to contact Minted, they act like I never had an account with them
Their reply:
Hello xxx,
Thank you for contacting Support.
Unfortunately we do not have any further information.
Please contact the appropriate authority (all details can be found on the website under Terms and Conditions).
Thank you for your understanding upon the matter.


Kind regards,

I believe money still in his minted account.
I did trades on February 7-9, within one day of Minted rejecting US players unless his not from US.

Yes, but on Intertops, when you transfer, they ask for your login name. So yeah, you should only be using 1 name for transfers.

Those of you who have been brushed off by the Carbon and Minted security over SDID, have you tried contacting the reps here and linking to the details in this thread? Sometimes they are able to see things more clearly and re-open the inquiries. We have found that when dealing with some sites it takes several requests until they actually re-evaluate the situation and take the proper action.

Obviously Lol_Russians should be complaining pretty hard to the Carbon reps if he ended up with his transfer options being restricted.

I complained pretty hard to Carbon security about this situation (revoking my transfer options) but they no longer respond to my inquires. I never thought of talking to the reps here --- doesn't matter I guess, I moved to a different skin immediately as my response to Carbon's lack of support.

Pm'ed MintedNeil twice, even posted in minted thread, no reaction from him, he is just selectively answer genral questions from other users.

+1


I pm a couple carbon rep on 2+2 regarding all this but they all ignored me and they never got back to me

I posted in the Carbon support thread about it, hopefully someone will now get in touch with you.
