To clarify, I don't believe 100% of his scams involved poker transfers, as there is reference to him on Ebay as well...but the vast majority did involve poker transfers, and on multiple trading sites.
Apparently he did everything from begging for money, to falsely initiating a transfer through private messaging and instant messaging, in which the other party directly transferred to him first, and he did not transfer back.
The site where this thread originated, pokertransfersonline.com, strictly forbids player to player transferring within the site, but we all know how smooth-talkers can pursuede someone to go underground, which inevitably was the mistake of the users, and not the site.
Pokertransfersonline.com has since disabled all Private Messaging on the site, to avoid further instances from occurring.
I'm just glad it was caught and stopped, although where there is one, there are always others waiting for their opportunity.
For anyone that does deal with transferring poker money, be sure to always use your trusted host, never transfer privately, and you should have no problems.  |
