Re: Full Tilt\'s reply/stance
This gets worse...... MUCH WORSE.... $tinger88 just got a reply from FT, with his permission I'm copying it here.
Hello Brian,
Thank you for your email to Full Tilt Poker.
We have completed an exhaustive investigation into this transfer and
regret to inform you that we are unable to retrieve any of the funds
that were ill-transferred from your player account to player
EddieFelsonn.
During the course of the first hour after the funds were transferred,
player EddieFelsonn played a few table games where he proceeded to lose
about $6800 in various heads up sng's and table games. We examined the
play and found it to be clean. Since the play is clean and there is no
malicious involvement from the other players, these funds cannot be
retrieved.
After the first hour, player EddieFelsonn then proceeded to make a large
transfer for the amount of $17,000 to what was clearly an associate.
This associate proceeded then to offer other high stakes players a deal
if the other players would transfer funds to him via Neteller if the
associate was willing to P2P the funds to the high stakes players first.
Our chat logs revealed that there was one transfer for $6000 made by the
associate to a high stakes player in return for $5000 transferred to the
associates Neteller account. It is indeed a great deal and and given
that the associate made the transfer first via P2P, I can only assume
the other high stakes players honored the agreement and sent the funds
via Neteller.
The remaining $1200 was made to another player's account who was also
deemed clean and had no involvement with this particular scam.
Our general policy is that we do no reverse P2P transfers once they are
made, but do note that given your position as one of our most reputable
players that we would have made an exception here had we been able to do
so. However, given the circumstances I am terribly sorry that I am not
able to help you.
My suggestion to you and other players is to be careful when you make
such transfers. Your profiles as high stakes poker players make you
subjected targets for thieves and opportunists. Perhaps a confirmation
on the phone with the other party to ensure the validity of such
transfers in the future would help negate such an occurrence from
happening again.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Again, I am sorry that there is nothing I can do for you here.
Regards,
Larry
