This user messaged me on aim. We conversed, and I considered him a trustworthy person. I shipped him the money on fulltilt poker, which was received in about 3-4 minutes. He then told me that he was shipping on pokerstars(this is at 11:45pm last night). Less than a minute later, he told me he had to go "grocery shopping". I begged him to wait the 5 minutes or whatever it took for it to arrive in my account just so I could be reassured. He waited for about a minute, then promptly said he had to go, and logged off. I waited a few minutes, nothing. 15 minutes go by. then 30. then an hour. At this point I was sure I wasn't getting my money. He told me to "pm him when it arrives, and he'll be back in twenty minutes". An hour and a half later, still no money, still no sign of him. When you're the second person to ship, saying "ok i'll be back in a little bit" then never coming back remotely close in the timeframe you give is very alarming. I'd advise not to transfer with this user, or make him do it first. The fact that he had a few people willing to do transfers with him as long as he shipped first and he never did, and then promptly contacted me when I was the one initiating the trade is quite alarming as well.

Also, im not sure where he gets "money is all back to where it was before the trade", because according to my transfer history it shows no money coming in or out of my account. and for now i have no info about my money in my ftp account because that account is frozen while ftp is investigating.
