There is another thread for known high stakes players, but other than that, on TPT, no. Sorry.

Classic, guy is warning others about scammers, then turns around and scams me.

Well unfortunately it looks like donkthedonkey "gutshotking23 on ACR" scammed me out of $225 on ACR. I posted in the trading thread and he contacted me. I looked through his albeit short history here, but had a couple positive confirmed trades in that thread.

It has been a while sense I traded here, so I volunteered to send first in exchange for bitcoin. We agreed on the amount of bitcoin and I sent $225 to his ACR (gutshotking23) . As soon as I hit the send button, i pm him and told him i had sent. He pm'd back and said he would verify and then send btc. well he has been dark ever sense. He logged back in 1 time sense then, but never responded or sent my money. ACR claims his account is already at 0 balance so i'm SOL there.

Anyone with any info that might be useful on this guy, I would appreciate anything. Harder and harder to find trustworthy people anymore. Feels bad as I grinded out that 225 in profit playing micro cash the last month.

got to becareful with these bums

I have a sneaking suspicion this is "donkthedonkey" aka gutshotking23 on ACR, new account. A brand New account made 1 day after scamming me, only to make your 1 and only post quoting it and to tell me that I "gotta be careful with these bums". The irony is thick lol. Maybe i'm wrong here, but if not, hope you needed the $225 worse then me. gg nice hustle.

User Jadehorse from here sent me a transfer on Pokerstars from 'Rockjean' for $210.

He sent first and I sent him bitcoin.

He then sent me $150 without me asking from Pokerstars name: 'kokrkega'.

I pm'd him asking why the different username and he messaged back saying it was his horse. I didn't like the different names and promptly returned it back.

Four days later, Pokerstars security e-mailed me and confiscated the $210.

Jadehorse has been online but has not messaged me back to explain things. I can only assume that he is a scammer.

What did stars say? Have used stars xfers regularly for 12 years or so and have always assumed this was possible to have an xfer reversed but luckily have never had it happen. Did they say anything specific as to why? What are things that can cause this to happen?

i believe if the funds were "shady" (deposited via stolen cc or hacked e-wallet or something similar) or if the transfer itself was fraudulent (stars acct was hacked) then the poker site can reverse the transfer later on.

there's a lot of this on 888 and party, and stars never used to have a lot, but it's been happening more and more there as well.

Hello ******,

Thank you for your email.

Please note that the funds ($220) you received from 'rockjean' are of fraudulent nature and will have to returned in full if you wish to continue playing with us.

Regards,

Aleksandr

Scammed by this user shutupandgrind $50 ACR brokedegen93. got my p2p transfer and dissapear
skype ryanmcnallypkr

today "ahh_snap" on skype added me out of the blue claiming to be ISmellToast and trying to get a trade done for a friend, he said "jfound" on 2+2. Seems pretty fishy and it showed in 2+2 search that "ahh_snap" skype sn has been a scammer before. I already pm'd jfound to let him know something fishy might be going on as well. Be careful everyone

edit: also later "raw__force" added me on skype claiming to be jfound but he wouldn't PM me on 2+2 to confirm his identity

Just FYI to anyone uses a BitPay card:

They closed my account and won't tell me why. Not really surprised considering my usual activity but considering how long I've been doing the same exact thing it's weird they did it after this long, so must be a recent change they made in their internal policies.

Basically, I always just added money and then immediately take it from an ATM. The reason I did it this way is because I live abroad and the fee was literally $0 forex + $3 ATM fee per up to $750 (max) transaction. Compared to most US banks that charge the external bank ATM fee + 3% to use your debit card to get cash.

I'll also state that almost all of mine were in Hungary or the Netherlands. So since they won't tell me the reason, I'm not sure whether it's that I've used it almost exclusively abroad, or almost exclusively just to withdraw from cash machines. Or a mix of both. Your guess is as good as mine. I'd been doing the same thing at least semi-regularly since late 2016.


Regardless, I figured I'd post a warning here from anyone who uses their BitPay card that it may not be a good idea to just immediately withdraw from ATMs anymore if that's what you've been doing. Possibly use it for a couple random charges and then take out from ATMs over span of a week or so.

Did you ever use your BP card to get funds directly from a gambling site or did you always use an intermediary wallet?

Well, you have to send the funds to the bitpay card yourself from a compaitble wallet. So it always goes to my own wallet first and then you have to pay the bitpay invoice. I don't ever get btc cashouts from any gaming sites though because I play poker on ROW sites, so it's not anything related to that. It's almost certainly either because I basically always went straight to ATM after loading, or because I've used it 95% outside of the US (you're technically required to reside in the US to have the card). Or it could be a mix of the two, but I'm assuming one of those 2 things triggered whatever review they did. All they said is that "After a review of your account, we've decided to close it. No more info, etc."

I meant did you use your BP wallet to do any transactions with gambling sites or use your BP card to deposit on any sites? Since you said not then I assume doing the majority of your transactions outside of the USA was the most likely cause, but I'm no expert on the subject.

GD it! sorry Mike Haven, im probably making you work harder than you need too..im an idiot, i cant even receive transfers on party till i verify my docs first, smh...oddly enough i can deposit with my local debit card..lol?

glad i do my research before i send anyone money first..

and btw, on the first page with rules, it says the minimum transfer on PP is $50..but their site actually is a little funny on the minimum..one part says min. is 1$, and their full details says "minimum donor can send is $10". but it looks like that hasnt been updated since 2013.. so idk the exact one for sure but dont think its $50 anymore

Thank you.

I've edited the transfer thread's OP accordingly.

Did you change your acr name?

No I didn’t, my sign in name is antmillwater that I have mistakenly put as my screen name. You can check my history, anthonym is my only acr name. I hit a big score on Sunday, check sharkscope. I got the trade done already

Oh ok. No worries. Im looking for a large sum of acr in the next week or 2. So i was doing some researching. Congrats on the score man!

Can someone tell me how to send a PM?

You might not be able to with such a low post count.

Might be the case. thank you. I just saw a few people who also had low post count had posted (5 or something) and thought I could.

Somehow I missed the part where I could contact forum management. Sorry about that and thanks for the reply.

[Copied from p2p thread] ... I have numerous transaction ITT and more on P5's.

Edit/MH: Fwiw, I see only one confirmed, minimal, transaction, in 2013.

Until further notice, DO NOT do any p2p transactions with EvilGreebo/NGBaren87. He and I agreed to a p2p transfer and he's been MIA for over 24 hours now


DO NOT trade with EvilGreebo/NGBarens87 until further notice.


I sent him $300 yesterday and he has failed to send me my $ or respond in over 24 hours
