Person to person transfers. [OP is a "MUST read", or be scammed!]

[luckychancer]

Ok I understand all that and those seem like very sensible precautions to take. The only way I can think of that someone would be able to scam another in this regard is by simply not honoring their end of the proposed deal after allowing the other to deposit first.

My question is are there other possible ways to be scammed besides this one? If so what are they so I can be on the look out.

Being quite to new to having to deal with strangers in transactions such as these I cannot think of any besides the obvious. Does not mean that there are not ways. Might add something to the thread having a 'scam checklist' as well as a list of precautions.

The two ways to be scammed after a trade has gone through:


1) Trading on a site that allows transfers to be reversed after the fact (UB, Absolute, not sure of others). The ease with which Paypal reverses transfers is why you aren't allowed to post here for that.

2) Trading with a poker account that has been hacked or had money fraudulently deposited (i.e. someone deposits with a stolen CC, then swaps money with you to launder it). Hard to do much about this, which is why I won't trade large amounts with people new to 2p2 even if they send first.


Hope this helps.

I'm looking for stars/FTP money. I have AP money. I will NOT send first, so don't PM me scammers. Willing to trade up to 3k.

reasons why I am credible:
I play 200NL regularly on AP.
I have over 5k in my acct.
I post pretty regularly on this forum.
I have paid off $50 to imsakidd for a prop bet in BBV.
Fees and I make trades regularly, but I've known him for a whle. We used to play 100NL together.

I can trade with you.

What amount did you have in mind?

[Strongline]

I'm a medium stakes player coming over to Full Tilt from Absolute. My roll is close to $20K and I'm looking for around $10K on Full Tilt. I've got $14K-ish in my ePassporte account right now and unless you're a recognizable mid/high stakes player, I'm not really looking for a transaction to be completed online.

With that being said, I'm located in west Florida. If you're in my area (Tampa/Orlando) and you feel like you could help me out, please PM me. I've been reading 2+2 for a while, but just got around to registering/posting this week, and I realize there is a certain stigma that goes along with new accounts looking for $ transfer. Given the amount of money I'm looking to trade, realistically I'm only looking to meet up with someone in person to take care of it.

Long-winded post, I know, but I feel like it's necessary for me to explain my situation and to illustrate the fact that I'm a legitimate mid stakes player with a legitimate roll, looking for to meet with someone and exchange online funds. Please PM me if you feel like you can help, or if you know someone you may want to refer me to. Thanks guys.
