Happy new year everyone. I thought I'd give a quick update to this situation regarding theft and scamming by Matt Longfellow of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Matt Longfellow is a repeat offender, having stolen from/scammed members of the poker community multiple times.

In the days after myself and the other (known) victim compiled a dossier, tracked him down, and made clear we expected him to make this right, Matt made a payment of ~12% of the money stolen and then made another payment on September 15 to take us to 26% recovered of the total amount stolen. In between periods of threatening me and ignoring several attempts to make arrangements, he occasionally would say the right things and insist he planned to pay us despite personal difficulties. His story is that a third party related to him is responsible for the actual theft, but that doesn't really pass the smell test given some information we have. He's also refused to actually identify the supposed alternative thief beyond a vague descriptor on multiple occasions. In spite of the fact that we didn't believe him at all and it seems pretty obvious that he's just continued his pattern of treating the poker community like his personal piggy bank to scam from whenever he hits a rough patch, we humored him and were willing to let sleeping dogs lie if we were repaid.

Unfortunately, after giving him ridiculous amounts of benefit of the doubt over 4+ months, keeping him apprised at every step how we intended to proceed, and bending over backwards in an attempt not to put someone with a young daughter in jail, he's failed to follow through numerous times and my patience is now over. Even after making good money over the past 2.5 months at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Indy, Matt Longfellow has refused to maintain contact and hasn't made any payment since mid-September. Given that, today I'm posting here and getting the legal process moving, both criminally and civilly, starting with making sure all relevant state, local, and federal agencies are aware of him and anyone else involved. I have reason to believe his spouse may be as well.

I'm also the reluctant but proud owner of mattlongfellowisathief.com, which will go live in the next 2-3 weeks for all of the right people's viewing pleasure if there's no change in status. The last time Matt and I chatted before he broke contact again, he mentioned that he's trying to find a backer, so I figured it's worth updating the community on what kind of person he is.

A few of the highlights:
-Made personal threats
-Broke contact for 5 weeks when a payment was due
-Went on an MTT heater and made ~15k on a stake - made no effort to pay.
-Made a small payment via Western Union, only to cancel the payment before I could collect it.
-Has now again broken contact for over 2 weeks despite outreach attempts on 6 separate days via 2 separate means of communication, and us telling him a payment mid-November was the last straw before giving him one more shot in December and him assuring me a payment was on the way as recently as December 13th.
I am the other victim of this Matt Longfellow scam and can confirm that I believe the above timeline of events and how things have transpired is correct.

Wen doing a crypto swap, who incurs the transfer fee?

Does the sender adjust the amount sent in order to account for the xfer fee, and the stated amount agreed upon by both parties.

Or do the receiver just except that they will receive slightly less than the agreed amount? Per fee being added by wallet/exchange?

Or the above is something that has to be confirmed and specified between both parties, before the swap commence?

I'm new to p2p and I am reading over these post and I am really concerned. It looks like half the people get scammed. Is there a list of the most reputable people on the site. I want to start small to test and I am willing to go first but this just seems crazy.

This thread is primarily about the scams, so you should expect to read about a lot of them here. If you were to read the actual trading thread, you might get a much different impression - and find people you would consider reputable.

Hi this is cold front I had to register a new screen name - you got me temp banned. You never even sent me a PM BEFORE shipping money to confirm anything! I haven't been on since making the original in search of post.

I did log into ACR I can confirm I did receive the $100 ACR but I don't even know where to send your $100 to because I am unable to access my account. Should I just send it back to americasdonk on ACR?

Please let me know how to resolve immediately and if the mod could unban my account (cold front) I'd really appreciate it. This is pretty ridiculous I wasn't even given the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure people can see when my last login was, etc.

As I said, there was NO confirmation or discussion beforehand that this guy was going to send me ACR. I don't come on for one day and I see this. Someone's blind stupidity is no reason to tarnish my flawless reputation.

Thanks,

cold front

All has been resolved with Golfer2010. Yesterday he just went ahead and sent money without communicating with me first.

Hopefully he can come in here and confirm this now

Thanks!

Hey guys i'm in a spot here. Does anyone know the details on this:
"In addition, all funds that are:
deposited to your Stars Account or received by a transfer from another player
must be wagered before a withdrawal can be requested, and a 48-hour delay from your last deposit may be imposed on withdrawals with certain payment methods. This feature is designed to protect our players against collusion and fraud. You will be able to submit your withdrawal request once the 48 hours have elapsed."

To transfer 10,000 to another player what's the mechanism by which they determine the funds having been wagered, total $ bet, rake paid etc
and how much of it has to be done for 10,000 to be available to transfer?

Thanks really appreciate any info

I want to update this. Sean stood by his word and made this right. I'm going to consider this a mistake on venmo's part and consider this trade complete. the payment of $200 has been made and I have initiated a transfer to my bank account from venmo, so long as it goes through without a problem I am happy with the trade and outcome.

I want to also publicly apologize to bustallday for possibly jumping the gun on this. But when you send the acr funds and login to venmo to find the payment canceled "by sender" according to venmo and then the guy has logged off 2plus2 and acr tells me 5 mins after sending that the account was empty with 0 balance and is logged in atm, it doesnt look good.

As far as Im concerned no harm no foul and would recommend him as a trader.

This has been settled. I don't blame you for thinking I was scamming, as Venmo was even trying to tell me that I had cancelled it. (Which I promise I didn't) My guess it was a combination of being a decent sized payment ($200) and his account being new. Idk but it's all good now.

I sent this yesterday. I was finally able to get some money to send you. Did you receive the BTC? I'm sorry I never scammed anyone besides this instance and I felt really bad about it. I'm sorry it took me like 3 months to get enough to send.

did ETH price fluctuate in the meantime? were the original terms of the swap that you'd receive the ETH right away, or in a week?

you are probably being far too trusting be careful!

Yes, the price did of course change by then, but we had determined the price to trade at before I sent so we stuck with that. There was no explicit mention of timing, but I think it was natural to assume that they would send right away.

Maybe you're right and I was too trusting. On the other hand, I sent first so if they weren't going to send back I was screwed no matter what anyways so I don't think there's something else that I could've done.

We locked the exchange rate. I also offered right when I realized I can't send to send back on pokerstars as soon as I'm at the computer or to send back on neteller/skrill from my mobile phone.

sent from my mobile using 2+2 Forums
