"LuckboxFromHelI" is pretending to be higher-limit SNG player "LuckboxFromHell" and attempting to scam other higher-limit SNG players. You should be able to see the difference if you display those two quoted names into a font like Times New Roman. This is the kind of chat abuse that I think needs to be stopped. I don't know of anyone who has actually fallen for it, but it's annoying at the least. Basically, he approaches unsuspecting rubes, pretends to be a good (leaderboard) player "down on his luck," and asks for a transfer on Stars for a transfer on Full Tilt. Obviously, once the rube transfers money on Stars, the Full Tilt transfer is never made.

Cliff's Notes: Ban this jerk's chat before his scam actually works.
