Please use extreme caution. There are scammers on the prowl.
Despite the great advice and call for due diligence posted in this and the prior transfer thread, some are still falling victim to their schemes.

Your amount is over what I can comfortably trade, but if you would like, I'll help you research your potential trading partner.

If you would rather not get me involved, that's okay too. But please, please, please, research your partner thoroughly before sending any funds.

Post or PM for additional help.

I extend this offer to any member. Feel free to contact me with any help requests. Getting scammed is easy. Avoiding it is easier. I, and others on this board can help.

got scammed twice last night - don't be stupid like me!!

Twice alexis? I know I send you an PM

Clamper I think you intentions are good but lets be honest here most transfers go through without a hitch. As long as he checks for previous feedback from other trades maybe PMs some of the recipients that should be enough. Your reply makes it sound like he's playing Russian roulette. No need to scare people off, some good guys here that aren't going to dick anyone.

Positive transaction with Medrakil for $250.

Also, just wondering if anyone knows this or not?

Here's one of them. Who was the other?

Backspin made the swap with me. I can vouch that he sent me my payment immediately after he received mine.

Yes I would advise against trading on Full Tilt or playing there at all, my account has been locked as well due to transfers.

Every time someone alleges they are scammed I will copy-paste this post and add the new alleged scammer's name, (as long as it appears to be a genuine and non-malicious allegation). So far, we have alleged scammers:

Please read the OP and all earlier warnings. Either we ban all mentions of transfers, period, or you must accept that they are entirely at your own risk; people are trying to scam you; you should obtain real life details, (name, address, phone number), about people in order to inform the police if you are scammed; exchange full details of the proposed transfer by e-mail; you should only transfer in amounts you are prepared to lose; google and Search the other person's name; ask here for references; a record of a few successful transfers can be a setup to scam on the next one; it seems likely but not definite that most scammers are newer posters; if the other guy won't transfer first, transfer in a number of small amounts; ask the other guy to sit at a table with his bankroll in front of him; etc; etc.

If you are in any doubt, or unwilling to risk losing the amount of money involved, don't offer to transfer first. Realise that you are likely to be scammed if you do.

Owing to a hacker using a long-time posters 2+2 PM facility to arrange a scam, I now also suggest that before transferring first you find out the other party's real name and e-mail the poker sites' Support to say that you understand that they cannot confirm the other guy's name, but your intention is to transfer to Player ABC whose real name is XYZ, and instruct them that if this is not the case, you do not wish the transfer to proceed.

"Let the buyer beware."

Thanks for the feedback.

I agree, no need to scare anybody off. Successful transfers can and do take place.

I notice that a couple of low posters have recently been taken advantage of. It has to be because they had not done enough research.

My aim is to guide someone through the process. As simple as the proccess is, I'm perplexed why people don't to even complete the basic steps.

If I can prevent a scam, or show someone how to identify a reliable trader a scammer, I'll consider it time well spent.

well done!!!! You can suggest me. lol

Look, my account got locked. I did not get a notice, I e-mailed support 48 hours ago, no response.

I did nothing wrong. I have been a player on FTP since it first opened. 3 years now!!!

why do you think it was locked?

The problem is, I have NO IDEA.

Yea that is a problem.
Please keep us up to date on this especially if it has to do with transfers.

no longer needed
swapped with a friend, cash for the fulltilt money

I will, I guarantee it has something to do with trades or some [censored] reason.

I know I clearly did not violate anything.

Just successfully transferred with Clamper. Very fast and well done/ Thanks!

I have $10 on stars and I would like to trade for $10 on UB. PM me. Thanks

Ditto with CaptUnlucky. Fast and easy.

I have a $25 gift card to dicks that I'll trade for $15 on pokerstars. I'll give you the code and let you use it first if you don't trust me.

i've waited long enough for this person to grow a backbone and pay up. No luck so i'll add one more scammer to the list

i mean seriously, are you guys that broke that you have to scam someone out of 90 bucks?

aim is bosox7477
2+2 name is bosox747
tilt name is holdempkr27

if he pays up, which doesn't look likely, i will clear his name and edit this post

Dang...someone is jones'n to play

lol
