This has been one big nightmare I just don't see how he has zero activity since Aug 23rd then once I make the skrill transfer 5 mins later he suddenly logs onto the forum and acts confused and says hes hacked. ..
I've pm'ed my affiliate and will get back to you (his in europe and sleeping now though)
I don't use skrill so not sure how it works now a days.
But ya I'm curious now since he def didn't make that post on the 23rd and I have skype chat with him on Aug 25th, 2020 with him not having party or stars at the time
It seems weird to me, I know he wasn't travelling last few months and he is in Calgary so any IP address logged non calgary IP would be VPN (Could be him obviously) or it should be a Calgary IP (I could never find a VPN From calgary, i've looked).
But I'll write back tomorrow about what my guy says with Skrill.
I just can't understand why someone that has access to an account for a long period of time only scams for $1500 (No offense, I realize it's a lot of money but if I was a scammer (Which I am not) I'd try to get as much as possible.
The issue also is most of his trades are around $200-$1500 so even if he was to ask me for $5,000 I'd know it's not in his norm and I'd verify it's him by calling his cell.
But either the scammer could only withdrawal that amount on Skrill since whatever happens it would be exposed and called out (I hope)
I had a guy from Germany a few years back playing league 2 (soccer/football?) making like 180,000euro/year from a contract and played poker and I added him and hard vouched him into a chat.
He ended up scamming a mutual friend of ours (we played the same games, but not in that chat) for more but nothing out of the norm he would do transfers for, but it made me really realize and be more aware and only hard vouch people I know personally and know their financial situation better.
I would of vouched him since I knew it was him if he had asked but it makes you really realize that sometimes it can actually be the person struggling financially and doing it themselves. I ended up realizing what he did and wrote the creator and had him removed (Who knew both of them as well) But it was a big wakeup call for me.
I say this only because I know Rodgethat is a regular in the 5/10 games in Vegas and is heading out there in a couple weeks again so I don't believe he is busto. (But this is clearly an assumption on my part)
Hopefully you get the funds back (and skrill gets the account frozen), and I do believe he was not the one that did it and gets settled.
I'll write tomorrow if I can get you some contact info or hopefully someone here that uses Skrill can have the account frozen so they can't withdrawal. (Processed I'm assuming means sent and not withdrawaled)
I hope that all those sites like skrill/muchbetter/ecopayz make it that when you receive a transfer it can't be taken out for at least 24 to 48 hours, it would really save a lot of scams. IMO
