whats the vig ??

Next time holla, don't be shy. Here or to a mod.

Or that hazard looking sign under the avatars.

He's probably been banned, Rainbow Warrior posted advice not to long ago to a different member; i'd check it out & follow it w/ Carbon...the quicker, the better I'd think.

He has been trying to get me to do a $500 trade with him, for the last 24 hours. I told him that I wasn't going to send him 1st, and he kept trying to ploy me into doing it. His private messages are now off. I last recieved a message from him at 3pm today. His skype name is jfinch1988

The problem is that the player sent gdmp. In other words the player is more than likely sol. Carbon can't really do anything because the player didn't transfer to that player or receive a transfer. The one that sent merge funds can at least email that site and hope they do the right thing.

Never know.

Linking to this thread and screenshots etc, it can be shown that that guy is a scammer.

Plus he's on a heater and won like $375 since that trade.

The site can freeze his account and transfer funds. Why would they want such a player as their customer?

Never know if the site security team wants to pursue this further

The person who sent merge funds can more than likely get their funds back. That is what I was saying. But what can the person who sent gdmp do?

You can't currently transfer electronically from boa to other banks. You can "wire" from boa to other banks but there are fees.

Boa, chase and wells fargo are doing a collaboration where customers can p2p to each other but that service is not up yet.

Also I have ING and that will allow me to send electronically (not a wire) to any other bank. I believe some other banks have this feature too.

I would be wary of 2+2 SN Hambone4k. He claimed he was hacked in this thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28.../#post31955894

He is pretty much being accused of scamming in this thread:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...-read-1177528/

It's for 8K. He has had successful trades in the past but you should be aware of this going forward.

At the least inform the site about the account.

Maybe some site's team might freeze the account. And the scammer in this case won earlier, they might transfer funds from the winnings. Don't know how the security team for each skin/site works.

Although the scammer here is on a rollercoaster currently, won $400 then dropped $400, now won $300, playing $100 6max superturbos. Big surprise.

I got scammed for 750, carbon told me "tough ****ing ****.

Neg feedback post

Has anyone done the research on which Merge skin has the most liquid currency? In other words, which skin's dollar$ are easiest to sell for GDMP, Netspend, bank transfers, etc....

I am thinking it's gotta be one of the top 4, i.e. Carbon, Lock, RPM, and Black Chip...

do you mind sharing what exactly happened?

From personal experience, I haven't had too much problem with trading Lock money. RPM and Carbon also seem a popular place as well.

Obv. the skins with good promos and customer service are the places the players would want to get funds on as well one that seems to have fairly quick cashout options.

Question regarding Lock transfer email confirmations.

What time zone is used?

why has boston been banned ? I was pm'ing with him yesterday but declined to send first bc he had not posted in 2 years

I believe they adjust the time zone to the user. However, I am not 100% on this and probably need the lock rep for confirmation.

tx!

good choice

A dormant account who shows up wanting to make trades is not to be trusted. Strongly suspect an account hijack until proven otherwise.
Sometimes these accounts make many quick posts to cover the lengthy absence and then use their 'seniority' to get others to send first.

The original owner of boston, who now posts under a different 2+2 account, reports that he logged in and found PMs and the trade posts that HE never made.

Accounts are usually hijacked when e-mail accounts are criminally accessed and various passwords and account log-ins are located and used.

If I want to receive a BoA transfer, how much information would I need to supply the person making the transfer? Do they need to have the entire account number and full name?

It looks like this can be done through online banking if we both have a BoA account, or wire transfer if not. Is one more secure than another?

Once I receive funds through either online banking transfer or wire transfer, is there any risk of the sender cancelling the transaction and taking the money back somehow?

Isnt it risky to give out your account number? Couldnt someone use that information to take money out of the account?

Thanks for all the help. I am just trying to go about this safely, and have no experience in this process yet.

Even if the person has your bank account number, your name, etc etc they can't do anything with it. Unless you lose a check, you have no worries on the person using that information to take money out of your account. They would have to personally go to the bank and provide some type of id (state id, or pin in case you have lost your wallet).
When it comes to boa transfers, it can be reversed but it takes a very long time and almost never happens. I inquired about it and was told by boa employees that it is almost impossible to be reversed once the transfer has been completed because they have to contact both parties and both parties have to agree that the transfer was sent in error. There is also a lot of paperwork involved that makes the process long and inconvenient. Imo, boa is the safest way to go.

Thanks for the help!

Is there any difference in receiving funds from a BoA account vs a non BoA account?

Probably just the time it takes to hit account. If they have physical access to a branch of your bank, they can just deposit cash into your account. Otherwise the trader will send a bank wire to your bank, which might take a little longer.

If BoA is anything like the other big two and the trader has an account with BoA, he should just be able to send to your account with a few clicks online.

Also, making a bank transfer the first step in a funds swap makes that a very safe transaction.

Someone accepting $$ into their real life bank account and then trying to scam is unheard of and would be extremely risky.

Most scammers hide their true identities and getting bank security barracudas involved in personal banking issues is something they would never want.
