StarsRegProblems / Michael Gregory / possibly "cantbeat" scammed me for 20k - Page 8 - Poker News

He also apparently sent different people screenshots of his 888 account when he had that 20k or whatever it was in it, and had his screen names blanked out fwiw.

He would ask people from what I have heard through the grapevine for smaller amounts of money but they never complied as they thought it was shady of him. I am from the same area he grew up in. He is a big piece of scum as far as I am concerned. I sent em some tweets after listening to his podcast, with ChicagoJoey, and he deleted his twitter account that same night, seemed very shady. But it all makes sense now.

All this info seems pretty accurate with the things he told me.
Just warn ur people about him.

Got to know each other over the next few weeks. He asked if I wanted to buy a piece of his action for WCOOP PLO events. I bought a small % for $180. He asked for cash I dropped it off to him since he has piles of money on stars. I figured out his sn was stizzi2. Not sure if that was his sn or if he was pretending it was (this sn played the main event btw).

He never played any of the events and always had an excuse. Said he was going to do refunds but never sent. I called him out and asked if he was busto and he lost his mind. Then said he was going to get a horse to send, even copied and pasted a convo from him saying it was blocked because of security.

I wrote it off and pretty much cut ties with him. He seems pretty unstable and obviously is a scammer and liar. Thought I should share my story. And if he's not the actual owner of stizzi2 I apologize to whoever is.

So is this out in Newfoundland, or back in Cambridge, Ontario, from what I know he is out east for school, or maybe that is a bull**** lie as well

He is originally from there and as I stated already used to goto High School there too,
He is confirmed to be out East apparently in NFL from what his twitter accounts said.

you think munk and SRP are betting 5k on anything? i bought the debt so SRP would owe me and i could make fun of him (also to help munk/whatever) Munk was talking about this at our 10k PLO WSOP table and i thought it was funny to buy a 50 dollar debt while playing a 10k buyin. created for some nice table chatter.

Not to derail, but I can't be the only one who wants to know how much you bought it for, just out of sheer curiosity.

Someone, please put on the Sherlock Holmes coat and hunt down this degenerate camel ass.. Make a deal with Zima421 to pay you for the effort. It seems like a nice way to score a buck and will be a win/win situation for everybody.

Not that pokerplayers are very good at dealing with win/win situations.

IP checks are useless because IPs can be easily manipulated (proxy, for example) and if he was 89blist, he could have moved to a different location/got another ISP after SRP account was created.

in the case of SRP being xblink, why do you all believe that the fact that he was playing a certain style many years ago automatically disqualifies him from being someone who now plays differently? a lot of time has passed since the xblink days, do you really expect anyone to play the same way forever? i'm not saying that he isn't xblink (he very well might be), but just discounting it based on the fact that he plays differently than how he used to 4 years earlier doesn't make a lot of sense.

This is the account I figured had the highest probability (like 75%+) of being his stars account.

The problem is, that sometimes brings unwanted attention to yourself.

It seems you have a DNS over at PTP. It's from a few years ago, so hopefully you've already made it right and just need them to update your account. Once they do, LMK and we can consider restoring your Marketplace Approval that I just removed.

Edit to add: Update - money was paid back 2 years ago, but poster didn't appeal his DNS status:

http://forum.parttimepoker.com/appea...-eveldick.html

Marketplace Approval restored. No need for further comment in this thread; if you have any concerns or information, feel free to PM me.
