So supposedly i got scammed. I applied for a position to be staked here through a Thread, about 100-200 people had replied to the thread and i got a random add on skype with the Avatar etc of the Group i had applied for.

We Then spoke for around 4-5 hours me answering random questions about anything and everything.

Anyway all i know is that he went by
Name : Jacob
Skype id : david.markeze
Skrill : skrillsupport@inbox.lv

He speaks with a Eastern European Accent but knows everything about UK/ Scotland lol

Just letting people know so they dont make the same mistake ( Obviously not because im the only stupid one )

So how exactly did he scam you considering HE was supposed to get you money to play?
Does not compute.

scammed out of your valuable time?

If you actually sent money to this guy, it may not have been a true scam. Just the staking group realizing you were too stupid to be staked. Valuable lesson I guess

Wtf OP, you don't just post a guys info calling him scammer. How did he scam you?

that SkypeID 100% correct?

He's a latvian i guess, op.

yeah i sent him money, cant remember how it happened im dumb. But yeah it happened lol. Not here to be told im stupid honestly i already know just letting people know if they get a random add from a guy dont accept

Not posting any evidence?

Not saying it isn't true but you cannot really just throw someones info out there with a story as it incites witchhunts / can ruin someones well-being/living if they make money via staking if you falsely accuse people

So how did he scam you?

If you can't remember how it happened I'm not sure you should be posting someone's details and calling them a scammer.

wiring money to eastern europe how can that ever be a bad idea

david.marzeke is his skype sorry.

How is that a scam? They just didn't think you were good enough or whatever.

you don't remembeR? just open your skype and check it out..

I have a feeling this thread will get deleted unless OP explains the method how he got scammed really fast...

A scam that is going around these days is a "backer" contacts players and offers them a stake to play basically any games. A too good to be true deal, but first the player has to send in some sort of fee as insurance or some other nonsense.

Obviously the "backer" was never legit and was just suckering the player into sending the fee. Think of it as a smaller version of the Nigerian banker scam that relies on someone being very naive and greedy in thinking that suddenly this rich backer will put him in all sorts of poker games for no reason.


I assume there is a good chance this is what the OP is trying to talk about, but as English is not his first language it is a bit unclear, and I certainly cannot say if this is what happened to the OP or not, but it is a scam that is happening more these days, sometimes with the scammer trying to pretend they are an established backing company. Perhaps the OP thought he applied to an established company, when in fact it was a scammer who contacted him and said he was from "xxx as seen on 2+2" after he saw his application post in a staking thread. OP seems the type that would not take much thought or effort to scam, so that would be one of several things that could have happened in this case.

If something is too good to be true yadda yadda...

He can't remember.

who even knows.. all i know is he said i had to send him a little money to pay for tax or whatever i was dumb enough to send it. I dont know why lol, never sent people i dont know money but today i did. He showed me almost everything including his skrill acc, himself on cam and sent me pictures of things i had to do like block transfer and block being able to recieve.

Just letting people know the way he went around it i think he got all my info from that post, so just letting people know. Not really that bothered but someone else might be.

What makes you think that? His location is Scotland and his English is fine.


@OP

What amount did you sent him?

Fair enough. His communication abilities need a lot of work then as he has yet to really explain all the details of what happened in a clear manner for a relatively simple situation (though I suspect I was on the right track as to what happened).

He basically talked me through getting unlimited transfers on Skrill & Pokerstars (So hard i know). But just his patience and the way he explained himself made me think he was legit lol. All is good though, just wanted to let people know that this is happening.

He had a email setup to skrill called : Skrillsupport@inbox.lv lol, so he is trying to do it to more people obviously!

Is he offering stakes on 2+2?
How much money did you sent him?

You were spot on. He added me with the Picture of the group i had applied for! Although the picture wasnt included in the post lol (I had seen it before thats how i knew they exsisted). Spoke away since Sunday and then today he went for the catch and caught obviously.

1. He Added me With all The Info.
2. Fed me what i wanted to believe.
3. Spoke all morning even though i couldnt be bothered.
4. Showed me a pending Transfer on Skrill which i had to pay tax for supposedly although i now know thats not the case (Never used it before).
5. I sent the money he Continued to feed me lies.
6. He deletes me I go to sleep wake up and write a tired explanation on what happened

This belongs in whatever thread you are referring to, and/or in the Marketplace feedback thread.
