Scammed by 2p2 account LerkEr...Beware

ShannonShorr · #1 11-12-2007, 10:41 PM

Sigh. I posted in the Person 2 Person transfer thread in HSNL today that I was looking to unload UltimateBet money. A little while after posting I got a PM from 2p2 account LerkEr. His message said that he had UB money he wanted to get rid of, so I assumed he had misread my post, as I was the one looking to send UB money. In his message he said he'd like for me to send to his FTP account, USCPhildo. USCPhildo is obviously a very proven online MTT player, so this is where he got me. I told him I was looking to send UB and he said he would buy the UB for PS money and 3% vig, which I was happy to do and had stated in my post in the p2p thread. We agreed to do $10,000 for $9,700 in 5 $2000 installments. He gave me the UB name "PlzDontCRMe" on UB and I sent first. He gave me the first name Arun. So, I sent the first $2k installment and never heard back from him. If I wasn't such a fish I would've researched and realized Arun isn't USCPhildo's first name. I've emailed UB four times in the last 4 hours and am yet to get any kind of response.

Just thought I'd let everyone know, so the same thing doesn't happen to you all.

Yeah, that sums it up. Basically you sent 2k to someone you only know through 10 minutes of forum and possibly IM interaction? That seems risk free.

Also you are about to please to enjoy UB's customer service.

No chance whatsoever Phildo was involved. I've spoken with him at length.

Wow. I made a post on P2P Transfer and that fool tried to take me up on it. He seemed too shady for me and his PM seemed very suspicious. Also, he must be really happy because he tried to scam me out of 400, nice days work for 2k

"From: LerkEr

i've got 3 positive referances is that enough for you or? "
