So at this moment avoid anyone trying to contact you using this info.

i would be careful trading with Progresss.

he told me he has traded $3k over 30 days with a bunch of people. when i check his history and see only two tiny trades, he says the others were on 'facebook and text' and he wants to give me screenshots of his poker site history, which i'm supposed to take as evidence he is credible. i say he can easily create that sending to his friend or himself. and crickets, he doesn't say anything else.

i'm not saying he's a scammer and two new people trading creates a problem of who sends first but it does not help one when one of them is basically lying about their history.

Thanks, I registered with coinbase, is it same as Circle pretty much ?
I can deposit using it and cashout to it and than to my bank account ?

yes & yes

coinbase doesnt accept gaming transactions so u will need an intermediary wallet b/w coinbase & the gaming site. most people use blockchain.info

this post describes the process well:

Ive trade with him for tiny and all was good and he sent first. He seems legit but he might bragg 2much about these trades out of here :-)

LOL.... Ok so 3 of the people i have done several trades with don`t care about rep on 2+2. Two of them are from my home country and i have them on facebook and have used bank transfer with them. Found them on a scandinavian poker forum, not 2+2. The one i have done the most trades with is from 2+2 i found him in this thread but keep in toutch on facebook cause it is a lot easier that way. He is a pro and have a great rep so i he does not need to post here every time we make a transfer and i never ask him about it. The first trade i made with him is in this thread and the other trade i made with jpous was only one time is also in this thread.

I don`t know why u say i claim to have done trades with "a bunch of people"
when i literally said only 4 people on the skype chat with you.

Also after you sent me the message that you would not send first cause you could not verify that at 6:04 am i did not respond cause i was gonna check your p2p history to make sure you had a trade in this thread so that i could go ahead and send first. So i saw that you were offline at 6:10am so i did not reply to you and then i got a reply from my fb friend and he sold me via neteller instead. I am sure he can confirm this but i don`t wanna bother him with it.

Now i see that it only took you 4 minutes of me not replying to you on skype (even though you were offline there) that you posted this here.

I get that you want to protect the community but no need to exagerate and as you see from what i wrote i have done nothing wrong here. you could have asked for an explanation on skype before running to this thread and running your mouth lol.

Thank you for response Yeah like i said above i never claimed to have more than one trade with you, much more with the others cause i have those on facebook and they have usually replied before you so i made trades with them instead obv. I usually message a couple people when i need $ and whoever replies first i trade with also i don`t check 2+2 nearly as often as fb :P

I dont get exactly what you mean, sorry, still learning english, what are you exactly telling me to do? :P

Neither you, wire transfer? Yeah, i can send the money to netller or skrill, but from there to my bank account is too expense, since i am not withdrawal too much.

I would like to have to have the exact amonut in my bank account.

What do you both mean by swaps? I kinda feel ashamed for not understand everything, hope you have some patience with me.

efra, i sent you a private message

Was this every taken any further ? or reported anywhere ?

How can a guy in Ohio be asking for POkerstars, could this be someone from Europe hacking ?

i got contacted by the skype account "fragmacc" aswell for a btc trade. very bad english which was weird to me cus i know the account owner has good english + he offered high vig for the trade when i told him he has to send first i didnt hear anything anymore. so yea we can conclude the account is / has been hacked, be warned guys =)

sorry for talking to myself here but this will probably be useful for someone searching later:

Entropay worked! Hit my Entropay account today. I had already withdrawn everything I deposited a couple years ago and Entropay even updated by card to a new one. But Betfair still allowed me to withdraw to it!

So if you only have bank transfer as an option and can't do that, I recommend trying Entropay.

You are not going to address my response to your warning to trade with me? If you are run here and make a post about me at least you gotta reply when i explain myself and also how you did wrong.

So today, out of the blue he messaged me on skype and ask for trade (acr for btc). 1k and he sent me first.
I know he scammed so many people here in 2+2. What is the fair thing I should do? Send it all to 1 person who got scammed by him or send it equally to the few person that he scammed? I cant believe he message and willing to send me $ first after what he had done to members of 2+2. But Im happily to send it back to all people who he scammed. Obviously this is not as much as he scammed from all of you guys, but at least it is something and teach him a lesson right?

Definitely equal amounts to people he scammed and can prove it imo

i would be careful sending out the $, with the way these guys work its a good possibility the funds r fraudulent & the site might reverse the transaction so u will end up on the hook for those $. i would wait a min of 2 weeks b4 doing anything w it.

also didnt some1 mention earlier that his ACR acc was banned. so which acc did he send from?

He scammed much more than 1k (at least 5k+)
He sent from acc ACR (nels316)

I stand behind my warning. I was well aware you would respond angrily defending yourself and making counter accusations. Nothing more needs to be said, people can make up their own minds.

Why don't you try to blackmail some personal information out of him, so people who were scammed can possibly take some action against him.
From what it looks like he lives less than 20 minutes from me. I could possibly help somehow.

Is that LaLeche's claimed SN or his account name on ACR?

How do you know it was LaLeche on Skype? What Skype name did he use?

That is his sn (or at least to my knowledge that is the sn that he has send $ to me)
For update, i'll send 1k to the victims that will be share equally among few that have confirm got scam from him. (bigbadbar and ucftennis12 will handle this). I'm sending 1k to ucftennis12 as soon as I can.(he got scammed for 3k) and agree to help me figure out other victims that also got scammed by him.

As ACR uses account names to transfer, unless you chatted to him at an ACR table, he could have told you any SN was his, (which is why chatting at a table is a recommended standard check when trading with an internet stranger) - and an alleged scammer is obviously quite likely to lie about that.

Please post the Skype name he used.

this.

I mean, if you're playing Robin Hood and stealing some guy's money to distribute to his victims then you need to be very clear that it's actually the right guy you're stealing from.

This is his skype

Ok i def didnt think about that case. So if the person who sent me $ is not him, i'll gladly return $ to the one who he scammed yesterday.
I'll hold on to the fund for now. This is become more complicated than i was expected lol.

Edit/MH: Skype: earth9181

Yes. Turns out this was a scam and the result left me out 1k. From what I understand, LaLeche's 2+2 account was closed as was the ACR account I transacted with.

Let my situation serve as an example of how not to transfer using Venmo (with untrusted/unknown ppl).

Thanks, Mike Haven for directing my attention back to this incident to spare other users the headache and possible oversights when x'fering.

Hey Thai, you can see my posts previously that I was scammed by LaLeche. My ACR for his Venmo. The skype account he used at the time was T Monet/Terry Monet. I believe there was some reference to T Wolves in that skype account so I am guessing this is a secondary account he is using to scam and he is likely in this thread monitoring our discussions about him. Please be careful with that guy, he's a heartless scammer.
