I checked his trades here and they seemed reputable (Carpe Dylan a week ago, etc). I sent the Lock funds, they went thru but I have received nothing from him. He has stopped responding to my PMs here. I just now find out that he started a thread yesterday saying 'My account was hacked' and that someone lost almost 7k on his account. I checked tableratings.com and yes his account (Smitty1717) was down about 7k playing 25/50 hu primarily to two players (JoeBanana5 and Scobidoo). He never mentions in his hacked post about my 8k that magically went to his account or anything of that nature.
I'll fill in with any more details that people want, but now I want to get this up and look for opinions. I PM'ed Shane and he immediately responded saying he is looking into this.
I welcome a response from Hamboke4k, too.
I am DutchBook on Lock, have done transfers here with Carpe Dylan, Netrobbery, A1isha, Joroy.
Wow, I got scammed the same way but it was for 850. Hate to say it but when you talk about such large amounts, you'll definitely want to deal with only reputable traders or or do in smaller pieces.
