hmmmm- that's rough man. sometimes FTP can be slow to transfer, hopefully it goes thru eventually.

We've had a few transactions. Dirk is a reputable person. Hopefully someone can help you out with the rest of your transaction.

why are you sending first to someone who you dont know/has no credibility?
wtf?

[DirkReems]

damn, he wont answer msn, or PM, and no money of course...
That Was a clear SCAM, I'm an idiot.

For the future:

Don't send first to someone UNLESS:

You would trust them with your bankroll
They have been approved by someone you would trust with your bankroll.

it baffles me that people keep sending money to strangers.

I'd send money to relative strangers if they had tons of posts and are respected on the forums. Otherwise, heeeeeeellll no.

Sorry to hear about that Dirk. Make sure you head over to the P2P thread in Internet Gambling and add his name to the scammer list, if you haven't already done so. I asked for a trade yesterday and he PM'ed me, but he only has 40~ post, so I would never send first to him. Luckily someone else PMed me with over 1000 posts, so our trade went smooth.
