no1s kicking him. i feel bad for him but he obviously has no value for money as a result of having too much of it. he
should be more careful with money i feel bad for anyone who gets scammed buts its amazing to me that all these high stakes guys are smart enough to make millions of dollars but seem to be stupid enough that every week or so one of them gets scammed.

they should enforce strict trasfer policies upon themselves so they dont do thngs like this. once again im not insulting him and feel bad for him

[holdme]

if only there were a place where op could post and warn everyone without being ridiculed [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[Miffed]

looks like i might have been done too then, although i have him trying to send me money
Ill update as ive only sent a small amount and the rest is pending
Also ive had stars block the transfer so if anyone sent him funds i suggest we have them stop him on stars.
Im tryng to get through to them on the phone

bump
Im in touch with this guy, it may be that he has agreed to transfer funds and its my delay with him that has stopped this.
If he trasnfers the moneys to me he owes then we need to have his name cleared.
Ill post within a few hours and update
Shannon, PM me details of what the guy has agreed to trasnfer and where as he may be delayed wiatiing for me even though i kow his SNs are on the scammers list

I feel sorry for the OP, but why in the world would you trust this guy? You have never met this guy, except for online through 2+2 and AIM or whatever. Sucks man, I feel for ya. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Shannon,

It would have been prudent to go through this guys post history before making the trade. It is clear that he is not very bright and that he has little to no poker acumen. Also, it is probably unwise to trust people with 88 posts in 10 days.

Those people saying that you should never do swaps are obviously ignorant. As long as you take steps to protect yourself (stick to reputable posters, stick to posters who someone can vouch for, stick to people who are clearly winning players, <u>get their cell phone number before making the swap and call them to confirm,</u> etc. etc.) then you should not have any trouble.

I hope that they were able to freeze his account before he got the money off but knowing UB I doubt it. I urge you to persue this though. I know that your opportunity costs probably don't make the hassle of UB customer service worth your time, especially when it is so easy to write off the 2k but if they could find this guy and you can find a way to press charges it would be a net benefit to the poker world.

Still don't get how these thieves figure this [censored] out...oh wait it seams we give it to them! For [censored] sake how many " I got scammed" posts does it take before people get it. Only deal with people we know and trust.....if you have $10k to move you prob have played with some very good players and therefore they would have history on you and you on them...that would be a good place to ask about transfers.

This is the best post in the thread by far. Instead of being insulting people should be thanking OP for exposing a new method of scamming (pretending they want the same thing you want)
