There's no such thing as a walk in branch scam.

I think he means where the guy said he'd walk in and deposit the next day.

Not the greatest of deals to do, imo, but it was his money - up to that point.

LMAO
why are u listening to noobs? and you are 100% correct
If someone deposits in your bank of A there is no way for them to get it back.
It is foolproof

ALLEGED QUICK PAY SCAMMER MATTHEW MORIKAWA PI707:
CELL PHONE : 707-939-5433

After reading all posts by you and wolfpack, I'd just like to thank you NeutralEvFish for posting your red flag warnings.

I now know to make sure to steer clear from all trades. With you.

PS - the moral of the story is, after his initial PMs, you should have just said either "no thanks"

And I'm still LOLing at how you consider a walk-in cash deposit to a brick and mortar bank branch a "red flag"

Update: Paid back by "scammer", Five*

Today I received the $700 I was owed by 2+2 member Five* (banned at the moment). He has been in contact with me over the past 4-6 weeks explaining his financial situation and how he would pay me back as soon as possible.

He also explained that at the time of our original transfer, he did not have a pre-thought out plan to scam me. This claim has some merit because at the time of our negotiations he actually asked for less money than I originally wanted to transfer (so he easily could have "stolen" more money from me at the time if that was his original goal). I believe his decision not to complete his end of the deal was a decision made at the last second, a poor decision none the less.

Anyways, he has paid me back in full, apologized, and has been upfront about the whole thing. I have asked the mods to take down any posts with personal information and anything negative said about him. This was the original deal I made with Five* and I would like to hold up my end of the bargain.

I also think it would be fair for him to have his account "un-banned" (if possible). I think it would be important to have this post left up just to warn anyone who is making future trades with him that he needs to build back his credibility and reputation here on the site.

Thank you to everyone here who helped me track down Five* and get my money back. Hopefully this experience will serve as another reminder to people who are thinking of scamming players that it is very easy for everyone to dig up their personal info if necessary.

Cliff Notes:
- Five* has paid me back in full, apologized, and been very upfront
- I ask that any posts w/personal info be removed
- I ask that his 2+2 account be "un-banned" (if possible/allowable)

Really glad you got paid back. Score one for the good guys!

lol walk in branch scam this is a holdup please send $2,000 to neutral4fish account before i blow your brains out and don't you think about pressing that little red button or calling the cops! so yes this does seem like a red flag

this is one load of a battle post i hope this red branch flag doesen't happen to anyone

I'm still kind of confused and suspicious about this...what is going on now

Was hoping this wasn't the case, but the Chase QP I had pending for $300 from Pi707 (PokerRevolut) was cancelled today as well. Will text him for an explanation. Looking at his sharkscope graph, looks like he may have lost a bunch & decided not to pay. If anyone sees him at tables, please let me know.

Have you informed Security at whatever site is involved? If you provide good evidence, they will probably close his account.

Possibly scammed by NCSU Wolfpack

If this ends up being nothing we can delete this...I would rather e the safe information spreading idiot, than be too slow and let others get scammed. He has a pending trade with me and at least one other on here.

I am waiting to hear back from Lock security on this matter. If it ends up being a really slow transfer or something, again I am an idiot. However there are many other things that lead me to believe i am being scammed. I will wait until I hear back from Lock to post further.

Any others feeling uneasy that have a trade pending with this user, please let me know. Thanks.

No..it has been an hour and a half since he claimed to have sent...way longer since he redeemed the code.

The trade was supposed to be my 220 GDMP code for his 310 Lock. We agreed to this last night. I came on here around 3pm my time(CST), like I told him, to start the trade. I have checked his posts soo many times before that I didn't check them today...ugh. Had I seen his attempt to by 2000+ Lock I would of held off as he has bashed Lock a lot lately and doesn't seem to have that floating around.

I sent him the code, and he came on and said he could not used the code since he went out to get some food, but he would be back in around 10-15 minutes. ( I have all the pm's of this and some screenshots of other information etc...).

I felt uneasy as I checked his posts and noticed the 2000+ buying Lock attempt. I immediately checked the GDMP and noticed it was used. Then he came back in around 30 minutes and said to give him 10 minutes to redeem the code and ship the Lock.

Then another ~30 minute disappearance. I felt like he was trying to buy Lock with my GDMP and that even if I received the funds he would have made a profit off it or something ( hard to do given the vig though). I felt very uneasy here.

He comes back and says he shipped on Lock 15 minutes ago from that point. Then a disappearance for over an hour.

I just confirmed with Lock Security that there is no pending transfer from this user. He has in fact scammed me and at least one more

lets hear the details
this better not be another "it has been nearly 11 minutes and lock hasn't sent me the $$ yet"
dan

don't wait til you hear back from lock - post it all here now. also PM mike haven and rainbow warrior.

How long have you waited? Lock normally took 10-20 minutes from sent to received.

Also, they send out emails after your transfer goes through now. Not sure if the recipient gets one though

+1 , i sent 300$ Amazon gift card to NCSU Wolfpack, he sayd like 12hr's and he pay but no money...

Ya sorry mate, tried to he a hold of you ASAP when I felt something wrong.

Try and get that Amazon reversed if you can. IDK about that process...it might be too late.


EDIT: I also decided to check to see if NCSU Wolfpack Lock name ISUCKPP was on Lock during out conversations. He was on the whole time...yet signing off on the 2p2 forums and going away for 30 minutes at a time.

NSCU Wolfpack...why do this? You bash Lock poker and now you look wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy worse. I mean come on.

I'll try get amazon support ,but i dunno how to reverse it

^incentive

guys, PM everything you have (personal info, emails, skype names, chat logs, etc) to mike haven and rainbow warrior

Ya, after that he said he was back up and selling Lock. In the past he was always up and down with selling Lock. Would sell some off, then post none for trade then sell some more.


Now this...

NSCU Wolfpack, you know this won't end well. I will find out everything I can about you. I will never stop. Just put an end to it quickly and move on.

You think you can live this down?

Thanks, I already sent a message to Rainbow Warrior.

amazon : Selena:
In this situation there would be nothing that we could for you. We would suggest filing a police report for this.

NCSU Wolfpack contacted me late last night after his trade fell through with NeutralEvFish. Was trying to get over 2k on lock & told me we could do it this afternoon too.

After reading NeutralEvFish's posts this morning & due to my own concerns, I decided to try to get him to deposit first by establishing an escrow account with a reputable 2+2er (depechbnkn). He agreed to this idea initially. Once depechbnkn confirmed he was willing to do this for a small %, I PMed NCSU Wolfpack the details. That was at 5:30pm EST. He was on til 6:30, so can't see any reason he wouldn't have responded (even with a no), since he was viewing Private messaging...

Something else I noticed, was that he originally told me 9 AM this morning, then said he had class, so 3pm would be better (though I see he was posting around that time in this thread defending himself against NeutralEvFish). Likely if he is scamming he was trying to set up a few trades for this afternoon to hit and run.

Briefly skyped with him (benjamin.harris18) & said lock email was bhplyler@gmail.com . lock sn (ISUCKPP).

mind boggling the amount of scammers on here lately.
Please deal with reputable traders

They don't become reputable by doing 15 small trades where they send first.

People always as me about whether someone is a stand up trader
and usually i can tell them nothing since they always send first to me..
rare is the case where i can make a real "vouch" for someone.
please be careful-
you can always ask me for my opinion or any other regulars or guys like Babar who is always lurking around ready to help.
dan

I agree with what you are saying about trading with less reputable people, but NCSU Wolfpack was well known in my opinion. He had a lot of trades under his belt before I traded with him, and then had a lot with me and others after that.

I guess he had enough and decided to turn into a scammer. Maybe he took some drugs and read “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and it had a bad affect on him. He is going down a different path, that's for sure now. I don't think he will like what is at the end of this path.

I am glad that he didn't get a $2000+ trade off like he intended. I think he will be glad too that he didn't mess things up more after he pays Dec1 and myself back. I mean it's not like we will just let him get away and have no affect on his social interactions.

No it will not lol. Ball is in his court now. The longer it goes on the worse it gets. I can make his life a living hell if he really wants to take that path. I get if he is frustrated with Lock and lost some or whatever...but it's time to dot he sensible thing and move on. Get a clear conscience.

He's got some balls for doing that after being outed as a potential scammer. Looks like you have his name so this probably not going to end well for him.
