I sent the Ethereum to a twoplustwo user called BustedFlush71 but he never sent the me the money on Stars (my sn: DevolvedPlay). He said his Stars account was Zurgok although I don't know if that's true.

We all know who sounds dumb here so I won't waste any more energy on you..

Lmao

Same laptop
Same passwords
So drunk to recognize whose laptop or account it was but we're able to send right amount to the right screeename... So believable..

Well played

Such a mad situation to be in, I literally cannot play now. I've been on the site since 2003, now unless I provide tax returns (skewed for tax purposes) and bank statements I cannot play anything there. Do you know if they need KYC for player transfers, like I could trade here or with friends for xfers, if I try to cashout will they hit me with KYC again? Atm the p2p xfers limit is very high.

I don't know the answers to your specific questions, but, obviously, an honest site following the rules imposed upon them by the GC, and you, want honest players to play. Assuming you're not associated with people they may have some concerns about, by play or transfers, with regard to money laundering, crime and terrorism, and assuming you trust the site you are entrusting with money you can show you can afford to gamble, there's no real reason not to provide them with the information they require to allow you to continue to play. You will have a reasonably easy legal route of recourse in the case of any later problems.

If you don't trust them, you can always move on to a site that doesn't follow the KYC rules for anyone to any extent, and that doesn't offer any realistic recourse route, and you can cross your fingers that although they might allow anyone to do anything, your money isn't at risk.

I haven't done anything wrong but they want information I cannot provide to them, namely tax returns or investment portfolios. No idea why they need this?

So just tell them you haven't made any tax returns and you don't have an investment portfolio. They're not there to judge you. They are simply following orders.

Nothing to do with me

OMG, this is the worst offense I have seen in awhile. Oh geez.

Craggoo Is a scammer I gave him ample time to transfer me my money when I sent him btc. He hasn’t login since he scammed me so I consider it a donation now. Enjoy the blow on me

How is this buried so far back and fareed1234 not banned?
checked his history and seemed to have recent trades and now i'm getting scammed for $330 btc for stars. Was contacted both on skype and pm on here from fareed1234 confirming it was him. The quoted post should have banned his account already. I'll use my contacts to try and shut down his stars and locate him.

It gets buried "so far back" because people have posted since. That's how threads work.

As for why fareed1234 isn't banned, you might want to reread that post. It's about someone who claimed on Skype to be 2+2er Ole800. No 2+2 account was used to scam anyone, and fareed1234 wasn't even involved other than having his name dropped by the Skype account hithepanda. At least that's how I read it; please let me know if I missed something.

So, given that, perhaps you could provide some more details about what happened. When did you send money? Has he replied to any contact attempts since? Are you 100% sure you have his 2+2 name correct?

Yeah, fareed1234 with 800 posts from trinidad and several recentish trades pmed me at the same exact time as he skyped me... i'm not new to this forum. victim blaming isn't a good look. the last post i quoted pretty clearly showed something fishy was going on with fareed1234 (why the actual username was not written out completely so that when I do my dd/research to not get scammed it shows up is beyond me). not going to waste more time on this, hopefully this helps others not get scammed since no one else will do anything about it.

In your quote, chiefsfan17 wrote, "I did a couple trades recently (my btc for stars) with fareed1234."

I in no way, shape, or form blamed you for anything; I simply pointed out that you appear to have completely misinterpreted the post you quoted, and asked you to let me know if I missed anything. Since you didn't correct anything, I assume that I have it right. And as Mike Haven has pointed out, it appears that you have once again misread that post.

I also asked you some questions about what happened - you answered one of the three.

Thanks. Sorry you got scammed.

Actually, aside from Mike Haven who spends countless hours volunteering on this forum to help people avoid getting scammed, there are quite a number of posters who try to help when they can as well.

Hi, I'm having difficulty withdrawing from pokerstars. I'm Thai but have bank accounts in Scotland(Scots too). Many years ago, I used entropay/Netteller, but they don't work anymore.
It seems crazy in this day and age not to be able to withdraw easily to my Crypto.com visacard or Mastercard.
Is there any way? Any P2P on Stars?

Hello, what p2p xfer methods are 100% irreversible? Thx for any info

I didn't check the forums in a couple of weeks. Now this is the first thing I saw when I came back. I never did any trades with Mathieupoker. He contacted me first on skype and asked to do a trade. We never completed any trades. This is our entire skype conversation here. I have done countless trades on these forums and would like to reiterate I have never scammed anyone.

This is my name on skype

fareed12342

This is the skype name of the person that message me on skype claiming to be mathieupoker

live:gjergjsinishtaj

If this is not your skype name (live:gjergjsinishtaj) I was not talking to you on skype and to someone else. Also can you check if you were actually chatting with me on skype and not someone else? (fareed12342 )

The person whom I was chatting with on skype did ask me to pm mathieupoker on 2+2 so I did.

I believe you Fareed! Scammers are getting very creative .... I am kinda blown how much thought process these fools are putting in.

Fareed just alerted me to this on Skype.

I never accused fareed of doing anything wrong. All I’ve ever done with him is legit trades. The person I posted about was claiming to be Ole800 and I knew something was fishy because his Skype name was some variation of hitthepanda who is a well known long time MTT player.

I’d say the best thing to do to make sure in any trade is either Facetime the person if they’re well known, get hard vouches for the trader and account both, or have them send a PM confirming the exact trade and make sure you confirm you’ve already agreed to the trade with them. And at least confirm the Skype user ID too.

this is a man-in-the-middle attack. they're tough to deal with. the scammer impersonated each of you when talking to the other.

when you PM'd mathieupoker, mathieupoker was probably convinced that he was talking to the real you on skype all along, and that you were confirming the trade that had been discussed on skype, which led him to go through with the trade.

if you are PM'ing or sending a messge or whatever (to confirm a trade), try including as much info as possible, including chat logs, time and details of the trade, etc, so that the person receiving can see if it all matches up with the details that he's dealing with.

and in general, yeah, as others have said, anyone skyping, etc you out of the blue should be treated as a red flag until proven otherwise.

sorry that this happened to you guys!

this is all good advice too ^ nice post
