He sure looked shady, but that's all water under the bridge right now.

Re-read the first post in the Trading Thread to find out what to do next.

You're the latest who didn't insist that their prospective partner post a reply in the transfer thread. THIS guy we would have spotted.

We can now revise the amount to $3,100.

I have many trades done with Rany in the marketplace in my open thread selling cake for greendot. I have found him to be great to deal with in every trade I have done with him.
Anytime he wants to buy some Cake for MP, he has trading partner.

Should you have to make a deposit first before you can transfer?[IMG]http://********.info/cat/10-2/vbulletin-smile.gif[/IMG]

If you having online banking, some banks have a transfer feature (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chase, etc.) There's also the option of receiving a deposit into your account in person at a bank branch. Can't think of any other options at the moment.

Sending someone your ID for a transfer is a bit much. You shouldn't have to go that far and I recommend against it.

100% agree this warning. This happened to me 2 days ago. mrlb never posted on the thread, he only pm me and I was very fortunate to still get the support of Carbon and 2+2 watchdogs to help!

This. If you find reputable members of 2p2 should be good. Just don't be stupid. Do research and if something sounds too good to be true, be patient another trader will come along that is safer.

Did you ever send first to him?

My warning - http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...stcount=110610

I have lifted his temp-ban and would still like to verify his BCP funds.

PM exchange - Jan 23

Just to verify on thread and to all. I have not or never attempted scamming anyone. And Unless I have made past trades with personally I wanted to send second as a precaution after being screwed before. That is all. There are people on here that I have and still deal with and no one can say I have done anything wrong. Thank you.

Edit/MH: Why will you not verify your funds on BCP with Rainbow Warrior? This would go a long way to satisfying the doubts.

HI,

What is the minimum amount that has to be left in a merge account after a transfer to a player? Specifically lock and carbon

Hi,

This post is in reference to Rainbow Warrior’s post regarding 2+2 SN Rany (Rany10s on Black Chip Poker).

I have done eleven trades total with Rany (on the following dates):
12/20/2011 $110 for $100 GDMP
12/21/2011 $110 for $100 GDMP
12/22/2011 $110 for $100 GDMP
12/25/2011 $110 for $100 GDMP
12/28/2011 $100 for $100 GDMP
01/01/2012 $55 for $50 GDMP
01/02/2012 $55 for $50 GDMP
01/04/2012 $55 for $50 GDMP
01/06/2012 $400 for proposed $400 GDMP
01/08/2012 $100 for proposed $100 GDMP
01/11/2012 $100 for proposed $100 GDMP

The trades from December 20th, 2011 through January 4th, 2012, I typically would send first and Rany would send GDMP shortly thereafter. However, on January 4th, I sent Rany $400 on Black Chip Poker and he said was getting a “big paycheck” on January 13th, 2012 and would sent me $400 via GDMP on January 13th. We usually communicated via text message and on January 8th and January 11th he kept contacting me saying he was running bad and needed more money and would “100% have the money on January 13th”.

January 13th came and went and Rany said that there was a problem with his payroll company and due to the MLK holiday he said he would be getting a direct deposit into his bank account on the 16th or 17th of January. Those days passed and he still insisted that he was good for the money and it wasn’t his fault. During this time he was also constantly asking for more money on Black Chip Poker, which I declined because he already owed me $600 and my bankroll was short enough as is.

Yesterday, I saw a post by Rainbow Warrior regarding the sketchy behavior of Rany and I was pretty certain at this point that I would not be getting paid. I then did a search directory of Rany and saw that during the period he claimed he was broke; he bought $100 worth of Cake money for $110 GDMP from 2+2 SN Kingo (two trades of $50 GDMP for $55 Cake money). These trades were on January 17th and January 20th. He also attempted to buy $300 worth of Carbon for $260 GDMP from 2+2 SN rabbithunter on January 15th, but rabbithunter wisely declined.

Rany and I communicated again yesterday (January 26th) that he still hadn’t gotten paid and he had no money to send me, but that is clearly not the case based on his earlier trades for Carbon and Cake money. I've made several efforts to work this out through a payment plan or whatever would work within his budget, but he refuses to acknowledge my PM's or texts for the last 24 hours. Before everyone starts trolling me, the reason I did this post is to warn future people who would trade with Rany. I realize now how naive it was to send the large payments first to him.

My advice to everyone is DO NOT TRADE WITH RANY. If you do trade with him, DO NOT trade first. The reason why he doesn’t send first to anyone is because is a scammer.

If he has scammed you, his contact information is (847) 363-2673 and once again his screen names on the following sites are:

BCP (Rany10s)
Carbon (Ryan0218)
Cake (???) => did not see his SN listed on earlier posts from trades with 2+2 SN Kingo

Thanks.
Erik (Birdnoises is my SN on BCP)

I hate to say I referred Rany to BCP. However, if he has played on bcp much, he does not have much rakeback as he is not even listed on the rakerace.

i contacted the 24/7 live support. They couldn't do anything but send him an email explaining my issue ....?!??!!?

Send them this link:

Ty for the answer. Have a good day

Dont trade with him. He seems really sketchy. He sent $475 wells and then i sent him $500. Now he wants me to send first? LOL and he said he has thousands of dollar worth of trade? Can't find anything but $100 confirmed. Beware of this trader. I have the aim conversation if any mod wants. thanks





My Carbon name is "RunBetterFish"
His Carbon name is "xpj007x"



Don't make up more stories now. It's not nice you know? And first off ur full of **** if u think I was rude. I never did anything to make it seem the way you do. Why would I want to send first to someone who has MUCH less trades than me? You think I am stupid? It makes no sense for us to take turn sending first. I never agreed to it and if u say I did that's bull****. We also agreed to do 1k for $950 but u backed out and we just did half of that. It seems like u were trying to build up a reputation with me so that u can scam me when I sent first on a later street. But it's whatever though. I just want everyone to know how sketch this trader is and to be more aware if he trade with someone else



And to add to it where's the post/ confirmation saying u completed 3k with Ben lamb? And he sent first? And even if did complete 3k it doesn't mean anything.

MH/Edit: Ben Lamb = Benba





Loloollllllll and u still don't answer my question. It's okay though we know ur trying to be a scumbag or whatever. And hit n running? Who does that these days? I also think that it's not cool for u to pm me bitching at me and such. You are flooding my inbox and I do not appreciate that. I really hope that you get banned on here because u don't belong here and it's wasting my time talking to u. I have more important things to do than to talk to a scum like u. GTFO



Your actually the dumb one who try's to scam me but I was smart enough to catch you before it was to late.

How are you a regular buyer when you just joined the forums this month?

Typically speaking, a regular buyer would be buying for more than a few weeks.

It should be obvious what I'm getting at. What I'm getting at is that you are not a regular trader. It doesn't matter if you bought $1 or $1 million... you have not even been a member here for 1 month.

My posts are not irrelevant or meaningless either. I corrected you to protect other traders. Thousands of dollars have been stolen from scammers last month. It's better to be safe than sorry.

You stated you ARE a regular trader sir.

Because I am a regular buyer, I never said I am a regular TRADER. I also said I would send first to anyone who has successful trades. If I was attempting to scam someone I obviously wouldnt send first.

Every single word mostly. Banned.

Is there much demand for BCP money?

At the right price there is....

Have 2k **** looking for 2k ****, respected member of the online community for 5 years but don't post often on 2+2 so don't have pm priveledges, if you're interested get back to me in these forums and we'll negotiate a deal

Have one successful trade in this thread, and many well known players who will vouch

How is this possible with 2 previous posts in a different forum and no active PMs? - RW

Heh true. What's going rate?

Also -- if you do a p2p transfer on PayPal is there a fee? Not sure if the 2.9% applies to p2p or only business 2 person.

fee shmee - it can be reversed by the sender for 45 days after transfer.
Also - if you are North American PP terms dictate no gambling usage. period.
See rule 3 and the included links in the transfer thread 1st post.
