Hello,
I've discovered this forum by a french forum and I'd like to trade up to 800$ from FULL TILT POKER to PokerStars.
However, I rather not to send first because I've been scammed twice already.

Thanks.

Welcome to 2+2.

Since you're new here, you'll likely find it difficult obtaining a partner who will send first.

There are reliable folks here. There are also scammers, so be very cautious.

Before you transfer any funds to anybody, do this!

I suggest that you pay special attention to the first post in this thread, and acquaint yourself with the names of people on the most recent alleged scammers list.

Next, take a look here for trading tips.

Lastly, If you are contacted by anyone offering to trade with you, post their 2+2 name here. You'll likely get one of the veteran traders here to offer some feedback or additional advice.

Thanks to Mike Haven, who alerted me to this message in the transfers thread. There is a scammer who is apparently using my 2+2 name - 'magiowins' on FTP. I have no idea who this is, but it's certainly not me.

Many readers of this forum will recall that I have posted many times, indicating that I would never, ever open an account on FTP due to their unacceptable lack of respect for their customers. My opinion has not changed. By the way, while the topic is open, let me encourage all of you to insist on higher standards from the companies that you do business with.

Anyway, please avoid this scammer (magiowins on FTP); and while you're at it, let me encourage you to please avoid FTP. If we all insisted on dealing with nothing but ethical companies, then we would have more ethical companies to choose from.

I'm pretty sure 'pokerlife654' on stars/ 'magiowins' on full tilt is a scammer. He pasted in an instant message a supposed email from full tilt saying that his transfer to me was pending after I transferred $135 to him on stars (with the intent of doing another $135 if the first one was successfull). I emailed full tilt confirming if his pasted information was legit and they said it was not. His AIM username is pokerislife689 and his claimed 2p2 username is frommagio.

The info he pasted in AIM after I sent him money on stars:
